extra large journal

‘Extra large’ varies by maker, but examples in the results use A3/art-size dimensions—about 16.5 × 11.7 inches (or the portrait 11.5 × 16.5 in). Note that some products labeled “XL” are smaller (about 7.5 × 9.75 in), so check the listed dimensions for each item.

Weights vary widely. Examples include light writing paper around 70 gsm, midweight art paper listed as 120 lb / 200 gsm, and heavier sketchbook paper up to about 240 g/m² — a practical range of roughly 70–240 gsm in the shown results.

Common features include elastic closures, ribbon page markers, internal or expandable pockets, and perforated or easy-tear pages for clean sheet removal.

Several larger notebooks are described as lay-flat or able to open to 180°, which lets you use the full spread without the gutter getting in the way — useful for full-surface drawing and wide handwriting.

Some extra-large pads use spiral binding combined with perforated, easy-tear pages so sheets can be removed cleanly; this specific option is explicitly mentioned for at least one sketchpad in the results.
