FAQs

What type of paper is used?

The pads use 60GSM lined FSC-certified paper.

How many pages are in each pad?

Each pad contains 160 pages.

Are the pages pre-punched for binders?

No, the pages are not pre-punched. You will need to use a hole punch for binder compatibility.

What is the primary advantage of the top-bound design?

The top-bound design allows for easy page turning and provides a flat surface for writing, especially when the pad is held in hand.

Can I use fountain pens with this paper?

While possible, the 60GSM paper may not be ideal for all fountain pens, as some ink bleed-through or ghosting might occur. Ballpoint pens and pencils generally perform well.

What does FSC-certified mean?

FSC-certified means the paper comes from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social, and economic benefits.

What are the dimensions of the pads?

The pads are A4 size, which is approximately 210mm x 297mm (8.3 inches x 11.7 inches).

Troubleshooting

Pages tear unevenly

Ensure you are tearing pages cleanly by pulling steadily along the tape binding. For best results, fold the page back slightly before tearing.

Ink bleed-through or ghosting

Consider using pens with lighter ink or drier tips. For heavier ink users, a thicker paper stock might be more suitable.

Tape binding peeling

Avoid exposing the pads to extreme temperatures or humidity. If minor peeling occurs, a small piece of clear tape can reinforce the binding.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Generous page count for extensive notes.
  • Responsible sourcing of paper (FSC certified).
  • User-friendly top-binding and tear-out pages.
  • Includes a helpful margin for organization.
  • Cost-effective multi-pack.

Cons

  • 60GSM paper may not be ideal for heavy ink usage (e.g., fountain pens, markers).
  • Primarily suitable for standard pen and pencil use.
  • No pre-drilled holes for immediate binder insertion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are refill pads, ready for immediate use. Simply begin writing on the first page. If you intend to file them in a binder, you will need to use a hole punch to create the necessary perforations.

Compatibility: The A4 size is compatible with standard A4 binders, folders, and portfolios. The paper is designed for use with most common writing instruments like pens, pencils, and fine-liners.

Care: Store the pads in a dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture to preserve the paper quality. Ensure the tape binding remains intact by avoiding excessive force when turning pages. If pages are torn out, handle them with care to avoid accidental damage.
