Material Selection Risk Overlooking the material choice can lead to mismatched durability and user experience; for example, PU leather and genuine leather offer premium feel but at higher cost, whereas recycled materials and paperboard are eco-friendly but less durable.

Specification and Target Group Insight In practice, A5 and A6 sizes are preferred for promotional gifts and business users due to portability, whereas larger formats like A4 and B5 better serve students and office workers needing ample writing space.
