clipboard notebook

Listings show 70 gsm offset paper for several steno and mini notebooks, and one hard-cover notepad is listed as 100 grams per square meter (100 gsm).

Some hardcover and notepad-style listings include perforated pages for easy detaching and a rigid backing to provide a steady writing surface. These features are noted in select hard-cover or notepad-format items.

Clipboards are made from materials such as MDF (medium-density fiberboard) and plastic. Notebooks and pads use paper-based materials including paper sheets, cardstock or paperboard covers, and chipboard backing.

Available formats include lined/ruled paper (college-ruled and narrow-ruled), quad/graph (quad ruled) pages, and a few items listed with other or specialty rulings.

Composite clipboards offer a smooth writing surface, a metal clip to hold paper, and a pull-out hook for hanging. Storage clipboards add an internal storage compartment, a security tab, a pen/pencil groove or utensil indentation, and some listings describe them as translucent and waterproof.

Many items are marketed as portable and pocket- or purse-friendly: several mini notebooks are described as pocket-sized or fit in scrub pockets, purses, or backpacks. Some clipboards are noted as lightweight for mobile use.

Extras listed include included pens or pen holders/elastic pen loops, adhesive index tabs, a ruler sheet, perforated pages, rigid backing, and foil accents on some notebooks.
