Fifty years is a long time by most any measure. For JournalBooks, it’s a measure of the company’s uncompromising commitment to quality, service and innovation in the promotional products industry.

Established as Timeplanner Calendars by Jerome O’Boyle in 1971, JournalBooks is proudly marking its golden anniversary this year, celebrating five decades of made-to-order paper products. Today, its made to order journals and planners are a key part of an industry-best product offering for PCNA, which acquired JournalBooks in 2007. Distributors can order popular inline JournalBooks products through PCNA, or create unique solutions directly from the 80,000-square-foot JournalBooks facility in Charlotte, NC. Distributors can also include JournalBooks products in Perfectly Packaged™, a popular PCNA service offering decorative packaging and unlimited drop shipments.

JournalBooks President Tim O’Boyle – Jerome’s son – says the focus 50 years later is the same as it was on Day 1: customer solutions.

“At JournalBooks today, we still believe that our wide array of U.S.-made paper products helps build brands and deliver an end-customer’s message,” O’Boyle says. “We have always been a solutions-driven company, and since launching our JournalBooks line in the mid-’90s, it has given us a much wider platform to create unique custom products for our customers.”

Over the years, Jerome O’Boyle’s six sons – Jim, Tom, Larry, Joe, Tim and Patrick – built on the tradition of creating custom paper products, pioneering the category of custom journals and notebooks. That commitment to innovative solutions has won JournalBooks numerous industry awards – and, more importantly, many loyal customers.

“We certainly want to take this opportunity to express our appreciation to all the customers who’ve made this milestone possible,” O’Boyle says, adding that several special offers are planned to celebrate the anniversary. “Along with our amazing employees, of course, our customers are the ones who’ve made 50 years possible.”
