Assorted Notebooks & Notepads
Fit the notebook to the task
Workbooks are available in several different formats. A 3 x 5 inch pad fits in a purse, messenger bag, or backpack and is suitable for jotting down notes on a job site or taking down a voicemail message. Also, sized for a backpack, purse, messenger bag, or briefcase, the 6 x 9.5 inch pad is compact with enough room for writing. Required to follow the school standards, students use the traditional 8.5 x 11 inch spiral-bound for teacher assignments and homework.
Determine the number of sheets per notebook
The more notes one takes, the more likely the choice is 100 to 200 sheets, though it depends on the comfort of carrying the pad. The higher number of pages enables the note taker to organize multiple projects in one professional notebook. Standard sizes hold 70 or 80 sheets, whereas the small pocket-size contains less pages. The higher sheet quantity supports multiple subjects or tasks by including partitioned sections in even parts. For example, a 3-subject partitioned workbook lets users organize notes by class or work-related topics.
What type of covers are available?
Each notebook has a cover made out of durable material such as thick card stock, like a composition book, or plastic to protect the sheets of paper. Some are opaque, while others are clear with a tint of color. For topical or personal preference, some covers come in recycled and sustainable materials. The more durable the notebook, the more protection they have from coffee spills, accidental drops, and everyday wear and tear.
Can you purchase bulk quantities?
Each type of note pad or smart notebook serves a purpose, and people use them every day. If an office or school needs to purchase a large quantity, they're available in bulk, or you can buy them in packs of up to 12 units. Notebook options vary in size, style, and sheet counts, usually with various cover colors in each package.
How are the notebooks bound?
There are many different kinds of ways to bind notebooks. Any of these types support both side-bound and top-bound variations. Keeping your notes secure is the purpose of making sure the binding is suitable. A secure option is spiral-bound because you can add or remove pages while keeping them intact. The 3-ring binders work if you are a student or if you need to keep track of work-related projects. These often have perforated pages.
