Papernation

A while ago, pen and paper fiend @sph33r asked on Twitter what people used all their notebooks for…did they doodle, journal, make lists or write epic novels? For my part, I mentioned that I use pocket notebooks as an alternative to conventional business card holders.

This sample of a new range of notebooks arrived on my desk at the perfect time. I needed a new notebook to use as a business card holder, and this has the perfect layout for that purpose – plain paper on one side and lined on the other. It’s a similar (but different) notebook to a Moleskine pocket notebook…I love it for its funky strap and end papers!

I’ve added the first batch of business cards, and shown some of them below. I haven’t yet got around to adding my notes on the lined page, but I’d normally add where and when I picked up the business card, as well as what I thought of the company and its products or services.  I stick the cards in using repositionable invisible tape, so I can take them out if I need to. I just tape the top end, so that I can flip the card over to see the other side.

I’m a little bit of a business card geek (you might guess this…) so sometimes the cards I collect are as much about gorgeous business card design as they are about relevance to what we do at Papernation. Anyway, here are a few samples from the new notebook:

One last thing that makes this notebook so cool for this purpose is the pocket at the back…I can pop new business cards in there until I have time to stick them in with tape!

Watch this space for this great new range of notebooks…they should be available online in the next week or so. They’ll be available in 12 different styles and two sizes – pocket and A5. We’re sure they’re going to impress!
