Cambridge Savings Bank (CSB), a full-service community bank with a customer-first approach and $7 billion in assets, today announced it has provided financing to Global Printing and Packaging (GPP), a Marlborough, Massachusetts–based provider of printing, packaging, and consumer product solutions, to support the company’s acquisition of Rocketbook, a line of reusable smart notebooks and digital writing products.

The acquisition enables GPP to continue bringing Rocketbook’s innovative reusable notebook products to market through its existing manufacturing, logistics, and retail distribution channels, and to support the underlying Rocketbook mobile application. GPP has long been closely connected to the brand, serving as the exclusive original equipment manufacturer for Rocketbook products.

Founded in 1965, GPP delivers printing, packaging, and product development services to businesses worldwide while also developing and sourcing consumer retail products sold through e-commerce platforms and major retailers. 

“Rocketbook is a product line we know extremely well and believe strongly in,” said Doug Dratch, CEO of GPP. “We’ve been deeply involved in bringing these products to market for years, and this acquisition allows us to build on that experience while continuing to deliver the innovation and functionality customers expect. Cambridge Savings Bank has been an outstanding partner as we pursue this next stage of growth.”

CSB has supported GPP’s continued expansion as part of a broader commercial banking relationship, including providing a revolving line of credit in 2025 to support working capital and operational growth.

“Global Printing and Packaging represents the kind of entrepreneurial, forward-thinking company we’re proud to work with,” said John Bobbin, FVP, Senior Asset Based Lending Officer at Cambridge Savings Bank. “Doug and his team have built a dynamic business that combines manufacturing expertise, product innovation, and strong retail relationships. We’re pleased to support this strategic acquisition and look forward to continuing to expand the partnership.”

Rocketbook’s reusable notebooks combine traditional handwriting with digital connectivity, allowing users to write by hand and seamlessly upload notes to the cloud through a companion mobile application.

The acquisition positions GPP to integrate Rocketbook into its existing product development and distribution platform, enabling the company to continue expanding the brand’s reach while maintaining the functionality and sustainability features that have made Rocketbook popular with students, professionals, and creatives.
