Product Information
Full details
The Silvine A4 Refill Pad is designed for students, office professionals, and writers who require a reliable, eco-friendly solution for daily note-taking. Its primary benefit is the high-quality, bleed-resistant recycled paper that allows for double-sided writing, though users should note that the head-bound design means individual sheets are intended to be torn out rather than flipped over the top like a notebook.

FAQs
Is the paper recycled?
Yes, the Silvine A4 refill pad is made from 100% post-consumer recycled paper.
Does it fit into a standard 2-ring binder?
Yes, the 4-hole punching is compatible with standard 2-ring, 3-ring, and 4-ring A4 folders.
Can I write on both sides of the page?
Absolutely. The paper is designed to be thick enough to resist show-through from standard writing instruments.
Are the pages perforated for easy removal?
The pad is head-bound with a construction that allows for clean removal of individual pages for filing.
What is the ruling style?
The pages feature feint ruled lines with a left-hand margin, providing a structured layout for text.
Troubleshooting
Paper tearing when removing from the pad
Ensure you are pulling the page steadily from the top edge rather than yanking it from the side.
Ink show-through when writing
Avoid using high-flow fountain pens; stick to ballpoint, gel, or fine-point pens for best results.
Paper edges curling inside a binder
Check that the binder is not overfilled, as excess pressure can cause page edges to fold or crumple.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your Silvine refill pad, store it in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture from affecting the paper fibers. The pad is fully compatible with all standard A4-sized stationery systems, including ring binders and lever arch files. When removing a page, use a steady, slow motion starting from the top corner to ensure the perforated edge remains clean. If you are using the pad inside a folder, ensure the binder rings are aligned with the pre-punched holes to avoid tearing the paper during insertion.
