Clairefontaine - Classic Staple-bound Note Pad

Classic Staple-bound Note Pad

Reporter-style pad with velvety-ruled sheets that tear cleanly every time

90 gsm weight that resists feathering and bleed-through, extra-smooth vellum surface that lets nibs glide without catching, and pH-neutral composition that won't yellow over time. The difference shows most clearly with wet-writing pens, ink dries crisp and true rather than spreading into fuzzy edges. Velvet ruling provides subtle guidance without dominating the page, while micro-perforations across the top enable clean sheet removal that leaves no ragged edges in your notes.

Reinforced staples at the top create a stable binding that withstands daily use, and the stiff backing provides firm support for writing standing up or away from a desk. Laminated covers resist moisture and general wear while maintaining professional appearance through months of handling. Each pad contains 80 sheets of this premium paper, offering the writing quality Clairefontaine established over decades of French papermaking expertise. Cover colors ship randomly from current stock, adding variety to your collection of these reporter-style pads.
