Why A5 is great for students
Portable & lightweight
Fits into backpacks and lecture bags without bulk — perfect for campus days.
Multiple rulings
Ruled, dotted, grid and plain options to suit math, diagrams, or essay notes.
Durable for term use
Sturdy covers and sewn bindings reduce page loss and keep notes organised.
Paper, weight & pen compatibility
Choose paper by GSM to match your preferred pens — fountain pens and markers need heavier stock.
- 70–80 GSM — Good for ballpens, pencils
- 90–120 GSM — Suitable for gel pens and light fountain pen use
- 120+ GSM — Best for heavy ink, markers and brush pens
Binding options
Spiral for flat writing, sewn for durability, glued for budget options. Choose depending on how you revise.
