Notebook Oxford Collegeblock TOUCH B5, squared, 80 sheets, 90 g/m² Optik Paper+

Oxford Collegeblock TOUCH B5 is a squared notebook with 80 sheets of 90 g/m² Optik Paper+. The paper is thick and extra-white, designed for clear writing and drawing with pens and pencils. The B5 format and squared ruling provide structure for note-taking, sketches, mathematics and technical diagrams while a single-unit bound spine ensures pages remain secure during everyday use in school, university or the office.

Advantages

The 90 g/m² Optik Paper+ surface reduces bleed-through and feathering for ink and provides a smooth feel for pencils and mechanical pens. Squared ruling gives consistent alignment for graphs, calculations and diagrams. The B5 size balances portability and usable writing area, and the durable single-unit binding keeps pages together without adding bulk.

Suitable for

• Lecture and classroom notes
• Mathematics, engineering and technical sketches
• Planning, tables and bullet journaling with squared layout
• Office note-taking and meeting minutes
• Drafting ideas and pencil sketches

When it may not be suitable

This notebook may not be ideal for users who require a very large format for extensive drawings or fold-out diagrams, as B5 provides a moderate writing area. It may also be less suitable for heavy marker work that requires specialised marker paper, despite the thicker 90 g/m² sheets.

Key specifications

• Format: B5
• Sheet count: 80 sheets
• Paper weight: 90 g/m² Optik Paper+
• Ruling: squared
• Binding: single-unit (bound spine)
• Paper colour: extra-white

How to use

Use the Oxford Collegeblock TOUCH B5 for handwritten notes, calculations and drawings. The squared pages help maintain alignment for columns, graphs and geometric sketches. The heavier paper supports ink and pencil without significant show-through; allow a few seconds for ink to dry to avoid smudging. Store the notebook flat or upright in a bag or shelf to protect the covers and keep pages flat.

What to consider before purchase

• Check that B5 size fits your bag or binder preferences.
• Consider whether 80 sheets provide sufficient capacity for your usage frequency.
• For heavy marker use, verify compatibility with 90 g/m² paper or opt for specialised marker pads.
• Decide if squared ruling matches your preferred layout for notes and diagrams.

Usage recommendations

For clean results, pair the notebook with fine and medium-tip pens or pencils. When working with ink, allow short drying time and avoid pressing through with excessive force. Use the squared grid to create tidy tables, align calculations, and guide technical sketches.
