Are the margins perforated?

Is the notebook plastic-free?

Does the notebook lay perfectly flat?

Troubleshooting
Pages are tearing unexpectedly at the perforation
Ensure you are pulling the page steadily from the spiral binding side rather than ripping it horizontally to maintain a clean edge.
Spiral binding has become slightly bent
You can gently nudge the wire loops back into place with pliers, taking care not to crush the material of the cover.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This notebook requires no setup; it is ready to use immediately. To maintain the structural integrity of the spiral binding, avoid overfilling the rear pocket, which could cause the cover to bow. When storing, keep the notebook in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture from affecting the paper quality. The elastic closure is designed to keep the notebook tightly shut; ensure the front bookmark flap is tucked away when closing the cover to avoid bending it. Clean the card cover periodically with a soft, dry cloth to preserve its grain-look aesthetic.
