Staples Graph Pad Notepads

Staples® graph pads and notebooks have pages marked with precise grid patterns. Use them for writing projects that mix text with graphics, to create accurate charts and graphs, or to draw floor plans or landscaping maps. Varied grid sizes and pad styles handle a broad range of writing and drawing tasks. Find the right graph paper notebook or pad for home, work, or school when you explore the notepads, paper, and stationary available at Staples.

Graph Paper Notebooks and Pads Are a Convenient Writing Surface
Anyone who's tried to draw a floor plan or sketch a chart on a blank piece of paper understands the appeal of a writing surface with grid lines. Graph pads, also called quad or quadrille pads, feature 15- to 20-pound paper, which is about the same weight as copy paper. Pages readily accept ink or pencil marks without bleeding. Printed grid marks are light blue or pale gray, so they won't overpower written or drawn content.

Staples Graph Pads and Notebooks Offer Flexible Paper Management
Grid pads have unpunched pages bound to a cardboard backing with a gum strip. They're easy to remove from the pad and provide a smooth edge-to-edge writing surface. Graph paper notebook covers and pages are three-hole punched, so you can collect multiple notebooks in a single binder. Perforations allow clean page removal. Students can turn in homework assignments written on graph paper or add individual sheets to other documents.

Why Use Graph Notepads Instead of Lined Notebooks?
College- and wide-ruled pads handle general writing tasks, but they don't allow users to draw vertical or angled lines accurately. The spaces between ruled lines are also odd sizes. Most graph paper has four or five grid lines per inch. The spaces are easy to measure, and the marks provide both vertical and horizontal guidance for drawing lines and shapes. Computation and engineering paper is another great choice for technical drawings, school work and even bullet journaling. With a ruler and a little math, you can draw lines at angles when you use graph paper notepads. The consistent grid can also help teach students proportions, geometry, and other math concepts.

What Are the Differences Between Graph Pads and Notebooks?
Graph paper notepads have hard covers that protect the pages from rough handling and moisture. Graph pads have a heavy-duty cardboard backing that doubles as a rigid writing surface. Both types of stationary are letter size and have grids printed on both sides of each page. Pad pages use the same scale on each side and have either four or five line per inch grids. Notebooks have four lines per inch on the front of each page, five lines per inch on the back.

What Purchasing Options Are Available for Graph Paper Notebooks and Pads?
Bound notebooks are an excellent choice for organizing lab notes or projects and have colored covers that make it easy to distinguish their contents at a glance. They're available individually so you can purchase just the writing supplies you need. Staples graph notepads come in bulk packs of six pads. Gum bound pages and plain cardboard backing make them a cost-effective option for big projects.
