Narrow Ruled 5x8 Lined Writing Note Pads 6-Pack - Color Coded Pads

In this review the author looks at a six-pack of narrow ruled 5 in x 8 in writing note pads intended for everyday lists, meetings and class notes; the single biggest reason to buy is the combination of compact size and simple color coding so you can separate topics at a glance. The reviewer found these pads handy around the home and office for quick notes and shopping lists, and appreciates the sturdy chipboard backing and perforated top that help with writing and removal of pages.

Key Features

• Six pads, two colors each: The pack includes six 50-sheet pads with two each of pink, orchid and blue, making it easy to color code notes by topic or meeting.
• Narrow ruled lines: The 9/32 in line spacing is useful for smaller handwriting or fitting more lines on each page during quick note taking.
• Portable 5 in x 8 in size: The compact dimensions make these pads convenient to carry in a bag or to keep on a desk without taking much space.
• Sturdy chipboard backing: The firm back provides a stable surface for writing when a table or clipboard is not available.
• Perforated top sheets: Pages tear away cleanly along the perforation for handing off notes or keeping a tidy pad.

Who It's For

The pads are well suited for office workers who want a compact pad for meeting notes, students who prefer a small notebook for class reminders, and household use such as shopping lists or quick reminders on the fridge. The color options make it easy to reserve a color for a project, meeting type, or family member.

Those who need heavyweight, premium paper for ink-heavy pens, art, or frequent archival of notes should look elsewhere, as this pack is aimed at everyday note taking rather than specialty paper applications.
