KOKUYO’s Popular Campus Binder Notebooks:
Flexible and Practical Notetaking
When preparing for the ‘Back to school' season or professional learning, the first thing to get in order is setting up a practical note-taking system. KOKUYO’s popular product, the ‘Campus Smart Ring Binder Notebook,’ is a smart item that combines the best features of both notebooks and binders.
Thin and lightweight, this notebook works like a binder in that the loose-leaf sheets inside can be easily swapped out. This makes it super easy to keep things organized yet portable. You can write your notes on the blank pages, then at the end of the week, move those notes out into a larger binder. Add new blank pages - or any older notes that you will need - in your Campus Smart Ring Binder Notebook, and you're ready for a new week of learning! This portability and flexibilty is a great attraction for users, as it allows you to easily expand your learning space whether you wish to work in a library, café, or at home.
If you need something more robust to manage larger volumes of material, the ‘Campus Easy Binding of Prints 2 Hole Binder Notebook A4’ might be the right fit.
