Spiral, A5 or B7? How to choose the right notebook

Notebook sizes explained, when a draft book beats a notebook, and how to keep your notes organised all year.

16 October 20265 min readBy the Beyazian team

The best notebook is the one you actually enjoy opening. Size, binding and cover all affect how often you'll reach for it β€” here's how to choose.

Sizes at a glance

  • A5 (about 148 Γ— 210 mm) β€” half of an A4 sheet. Big enough for lecture notes and planning, small enough for any bag. Our most popular size.
  • B7 (about 88 Γ— 125 mm) β€” pocket size. Perfect for shopping lists, quick ideas, phone numbers and vocabulary.
  • Kids' notebooks β€” sized for small hands and school bags.

Why spiral binding?

A spiral notebook opens completely flat and can fold back on itself, so you can write comfortably on a small desk, a bus or your lap. Pages can also be torn out neatly when needed.

Notebook or draft book?

Notebooks are for notes you'll keep β€” class notes, work meetings, journals. Draft books are for rough work: maths workings, brainstorming, practising handwriting or trying out a design. Many students keep one of each so their final notes stay neat.

Designers: a logo design notebook gives you structured pages to sketch logo ideas, so concepts stay in one place instead of scattered sheets.

Keep notes organised

  • Number your pages and keep a simple contents list on the first page.
  • Use one notebook per subject or project β€” a fun cover makes each easy to spot.
  • Mark important pages with a bookmark or a small sticker.

A small gift that always works

A beautiful notebook is an easy present for students, teachers and colleagues. Pair it with a bookmark set or sticker pack for a thoughtful little bundle.
