notebooks with pens

Included pens vary by product. Common types are gel pens and coordinated/matching pens that come with or attach to the notebook. Some sets include novelty pens (for example, an invisible-ink pen paired with a UV wand). Note: a few smart-notebook systems require a separately sold smart pen rather than including one.

Bindings vary across products. Common styles include spiral or wire binding, side/glue binding, book-style binding, and lay-flat bindings designed to stay open easily.

Cover types depend on the item and include hard covers, flexible covers, and soft covers.

Paper formats vary: common options are blank (unruled) pages, dotted pages, and some preprinted/printed formats. Several listings indicate "No Rule," which means the pages are unruled.

Page counts vary by product; examples in the selection include 20, 60, 140, 144, and 150 pages.

Common extras include pockets, elastic closures, ribbon page markers, rounded corners, acid-free paper, sticker or alphabet sheets, and included pens such as gel or coordinated matching pens.

Some notebooks include a coordinated pen held by an attachment on the cover, while others simply include a loose pen with the set (commonly a gel pen).
