writing pads

Bound paper stacks

Writing pads are stacks of paper sheets bound together at one edge, designed for taking notes, drafting letters, or jotting down ideas.

The sheets typically tear off cleanly along a perforated or glued edge.

Writing pads come in various sizes and formats, from small pocket notepads to legal pads with their distinctive yellow paper and wide ruling.
