Notebook Oxford Notizblock Pastell, squared, 80 sheets 80 g/m², high-white paper, coated cardboard cover

Oxford Notizblock Pastell is a squared notebook designed for precise note-taking, sketching and technical drawings. It contains 80 sheets of high-white 80 g/m² paper with squared ruling that helps maintain alignment for writing, diagrams and calculations. The block is finished with a coated cardboard cover to protect pages from everyday wear and to provide a stable writing surface. The format suits desks, meeting rooms and study environments where clean, bleed-resistant pages and clear grid lines are required.

Advantages

The Oxford squared pad provides consistent page quality with 80 g/m² high-white paper that reduces show-through and is compatible with most pens and pencils. Squared ruling ensures even spacing and alignment for text, tables and technical sketches. The coated cardboard cover increases durability during transport and handling while offering a firm surface for writing without a hard backing. The compact format balances page size with portability for office, school or project use.

Suitable for

• Precise note-taking and meeting minutes
• Technical sketches, diagrams and layouts
• Mathematics, engineering and design work
• Schoolwork, homework and classroom exercises
• Project planning, checklists and to-do lists

When it may not be suitable

This squared notebook may not be suitable for heavy ink applications such as fountain pens with very wet nibs or markers that require bleedproof specialty paper; in such cases thicker or specifically treated papers are preferable. It is also not intended as a hardcover notebook for long-term archival storage where rigid protection and binding are required.

How to use

Use the Oxford Notizblock Pastell for everyday note-taking, drawing grids and laying out calculations. Place the block on a flat surface; the coated cardboard cover provides a stable surface for writing. Turn pages smoothly along the top edge to keep numbered sheets aligned or tear off sheets if the pad is designed for removal. Combine with standard pens, pencils and fine-liner markers while testing ink on a corner sheet when using heavily saturated inks to check for show-through.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended writing instruments (pencil, ballpoint, fineliner, fountain pen)
• Need for bleed resistance and paper opacity
• Preferred page size and whether the listed dimensions suit your workflow
• Whether a removable pad or bound notebook better fits your storage and archiving needs

Usage recommendations

For optimal results use ballpoint pens, pencils or fine-liners. If you plan to use wetter inks or markers, test on a corner sheet first. Store the pad flat or upright in a dry place to preserve the coated cover and paper quality.
