- What color do you want the printed information?

- How about a paper pad? Do you want to go the extra mile and get the new “stone pad”, which is water resistant and tear-proof? It’s amazing!

What If You Lose Your Tally Books?
When oilfield workers record data while they are drilling, they need to enter it in
a safe place. They write it in a pipe tally book. What if they lose their tally books?
- The workers would lose the number of feet of pipe they have put in the ground.
- They would lose the number of pipe sections they used.
- They would not be able to recall the times that they hooked up each section of pipe.
- They would not be able to report on the amount of fluids that were used in the operation.
What a disaster! Prevent this catastrophe by purchasing oilfield pipe tally books that are:
- Bright in color, so you can’t misplace them.
- Water resistant, with a vinyl cover.
- Made of that new waterproof “paper” called “stone paper”. Not only is it waterproof, it is tear-resistant.
- Small enough to fit in the oilfield or gas field worker’s pocket.
- Made with an integral pen loop, so there’s always a pen with the book.
- Identified with your company logo and phone number on the front cover.
Why Nobody Wants Tally Books With Stock Artwork
Nobody buys Tally Books that already have a picture of an oil well. Why?
- Everyone wants to give away tally books that have their own company logo.
- Sometimes business owners want to put a picture of their own equipment on them.
- Sometimes company owners want to have their own conversion charts printed on the back vinyl cover, or on the inside of the cover.
- With today’s high tech printing methods, a full-color picture can be printed directly on the vinyl cover. There is no longer a need to print it on a piece of paper, and cover it with an extra layer of clear vinyl to protect the picture.
- Multiple logos and pictures can be printed on the front and back cover.
- Most custom tally books are made in the USA.

How Tally Books Are Constructed
Tally Books are used by workers and inspectors in the oil and gas industries. These books are made rugged for outdoor use. Here is how they are constructed:
- For stiffness, we start with chipboard. This is the solid gray “cardboard” material that cereal boxes are made out of.
- The 2 pieces of chipboard (front and back of the tally book) are covered with a colored vinyl for protection from the elements. Vinyl comes in a variety of colors. The inside layer is usually the same color as the outside layer.
- To hold the paper pad (or stone pad), we add a front and back clear pocket. So the first and last page of the pad are slid into those two pockets. For durability, the first and last page are made of heavier paper. This pad is held in place just like the check register in your vinyl checkbook.
- Not in this order, the imprinting is done on the outside cover and the inside pockets.
- Printing is done in 3 different ways: Screen printing, Hotstamping, Full-color imprinting.
- Sometimes we add a clear vinyl pen loop on the side. We can also add an insert. It has 3 clear vinyl pockets so that you can add papers and cards of your choosing.
Tally Books are made and printed in the USA.
