Journal Notebooks

The perfect alternative to perfect binding! With this innovative square spine finish we can increase the number of pages to 80 or 120, creating a fantastic journal notebook. The covers are available in heavy 100% recycled board, cool kraft or our special Premium Cover material that comes with a smooth finish. Conventionally stapled in three positions, each notebook has the benefit of secure pages but with the improved appearance of a perfect bound style square spine.

Available as funky undersize A4 260 x 180mm. Each notebook has a printed cover and 76 or 116 plain or printed text pages, making an 80 or 120 page book. The notebook spine is 6mm wide or 9mm wide (so remember to include this additional area in the size of your artwork. For example the 80 page notebook cover will now be 266 x 372mm including spine a 6mm bleed area.)
