Never underestimate the power of a paper notebook. Like our customized notepads, notebooks serve a needed purpose. There are several types of notebooks out there, how do you know which one is right for you? From the creative type to the engineer, notebooks are a great way to keep ideas fresh in your mind without having to pull out a clunky laptop or tablet.
Notebooks are like cars, each person has a specific taste of what they want, it varies from their needs or line of work just like a car. There are so many options for notebooks. You can choose from different sizes, shapes, materials, bindings, paper weight, lines, hard cover, soft cover….the list goes on and on. To recommend what notebook you need, we first look at the types of notebooks that are out there. Like our custom printed notepads, notebooks can be customized to suit your needs.
Size
Notebook sizes vary depending on what you’re looking to get out of your notebook. There are small pocket sized notebooks that fit in the back pocket of your pants. These types of notebooks are great for jotting down quick notes or reminders. Then there’s the Half-Letter and Junior Legal sizes are good all-purpose notebook sizes; if you’re not sure what size to get, that’s probably what you want. standard sized notebooks that are perfect for journaling or keeping track of company notes. Try the 100 sheet Journal Notebook for work.
Number of Pages
Knowing the number of sheets you want will also help determine what notebook you will need. Generally the smaller the notepad, the fewer pages it has. You can also look for how the pages can be removed from the notebook. A removable-sheet system is a great option to remove pages without tearing it. Great for businesses where you want to share your notes with peers.
Covers
You will also need to consider whether you need hard cover versus soft covers. While a hardcover notebook is more durable and offers a great surface to write on, some people would prefer a flexible softcover notebook where you can fold the book in half. A softcover notebook is also more casual, where a hardcover can seem more formal or professional.
Page Styles
The final factor to consider is the style of pages in your notebook. The most common styles are blank, ruled, and graph paper. Blank paper is great for jotting down short notes or if you have to draw anything. Whereas the standard ruled notebook is great for long note taking in a professional environment. Graph paper is a great option for engineers and architects. If your clients are designers, engineers, or architects, this would be a great option for branding your business in promotional giveaways. The important thing to consider is to know who your clients are that will be receiving these notebooks when finding the right notebook to order.
