Atoma notebook A5 blank

Today, almost all commercial stationery is optimized for smooth operation in offset or office printers at the expense of those who write by hand with fountain pens, ballpoints or pencils. Our paper favors the convenience of the hand writers: even quills glide cleanly over it, fountain pen and ballpoint ink give the writing clean contours without any leaking, and pencil leads create beautiful ornate lettering.

The 60-year-old Belgian ATOMA notebook system consists entirely of runaway rings and flighty pages, whereby the rings prevent the pages from flying off and the pages prevent the rings from running away – at any rate, thanks to a patented special perforation you can easily combine them or separate them again. So you can add, rearrange or combine the various forms from your own notebooks any time you want to, – with forms, calendar or addressbook pages you can generate with your PC on the blank forms and then perforate them with the ATOMA hole puncher.

This is how you put together your notebook:
– the rings (Ø 17 or 24 mm) – eleven for an A4- and eight for an A5 notebook; – a 0.8 mm thick texon cover we provide in A4 and A5 and extra wide for the A4 and A5 tabs; – specially perforated inserts (90 g/ m²) in A4 and A5; and – inscribable tabs with a 6-fold index extra wide for A4 and A5. Assembly is easy: first you insert the rings in the rear cover, then slip the inserts (we advise to take 8 sheets at once) on the rings, finally add the front cover. We also offer all blank varieties as ready-made notebooks.

Texon is used as a substitute for leather or cardboard, but also as binding material. The paper-like material made of latex coated cellulose fiber is waterproof and insensitive to moisture. It is also highly resistant to mechanical stress, and after long use it will not “deconstruct” into its constituent layers like conventional open edge cardboard.
