A4 Wirebound Shorthand Notepad Pack of Ten
wirebound so it folds back on itself, which is what you want standing up in a stockroom
Office equipment is sold on headline numbers that almost nobody can use. A printer quoted at 40 pages a minute is quoting a single sided black page from a warm machine, and the cost that matters is pence per page over five years rather than the price on the box. Every listing here states the real running cost, the monthly duty cycle the machine is actually built for, what the consumables cost and how long they last. Where a cheaper machine would do the job we say so, because the money in this trade is in the consumables and we would rather you knew that from us than worked it out in year two.
Specification
- Use: meetings, note taking, planning and classrooms
- Specification: the everyday specification, which covers most offices and is what we would put on a quote unless you told us otherwise
- Capacity: page count and ruling stated per line, because the ruling is the thing people get wrong when reordering
- Consumables: not applicable
- Connectivity: not applicable
- Running cost: priced per book and per pack, and the pack price is published
- Sustainability: FSC certified paper throughout with the chain of custody number on the back cover. We state the actual certification rather than the word sustainable. For paper that means FSC or PEFC with the chain of custody number on the wrapper. For recycled content it means the percentage. Anything described only as eco friendly is described that way because there is nothing to certify.
- Delivery: next working day on stocked lines
- Weight: approximately 1.60 kilograms
- Warranty: one year return to base
- Sewn binding: stated per line, because it is the difference and nobody publishes it
- Paper weight: stated in gsm, because show through is the other thing people complain about
- Trade: Trade account customers get thirty day terms on approval, a published price file, next day delivery on stocked lines and a named account manager rather than a queue. Ask for it, because we do not upsell it.
What arrives
- the books as described
- a reorder card with the part number
- recyclable packaging
Setting it up
None.
Which one to buy
Sewn against glued is the only real decision and it is not on most product pages. A sewn casebound notebook opens flat and holds together for years. A glued one is cheaper, will not lie flat, and will start shedding pages from the middle within a year of daily use. For a meeting notebook that gets carried, buy sewn. For a pad that gets torn up anyway, do not.
