A large-format notebook should do more than simply hold your notes. Whether you use it in class, in meetings, for drawing or organising work documents, it needs to withstand repeated handling, provide a pleasant writing surface and prevent loose sheets from getting lost at the bottom of your bag. The transparent Clairefontaine Koverbook 24 x 32 cm notebook is designed for this kind of use, with its protective cover and integrated storage compartments.
The key is not to be swayed by the claims made in product listings. A cover described as ‘durable’ may lack rigidity, a format labelled ‘large’ may not fit your bag or ring binder, and thick paper does not necessarily guarantee good results with every type of pen.
A simple transparent plastic cover offers limited protection for corners and pages if it bends at the slightest knock. For a notebook that goes into a bag every day, look carefully at the material and check whether it includes flaps. The polypropylene used for the Koverbook wraps around the notebook and provides integrated protection.
Measuring 24 x 32 cm, this notebook offers more space than a standard A4 model, but it also takes up more room in a bag or drawer. Before ordering, measure your storage space and check that the notebook can be carried with the wallets and documents you want to keep inside it.
Two 96-page notebooks are not necessarily the same. You also need to consider the paper weight, ruling and binding type. 90 g/m² paper generally feels denser than lighter paper, while a sewn binding does not always open as wide as a spiral binding.
The Koverbook featured here contains 96 pages of 90 g/m² Clairefontaine vellum paper with large-square ruling. This combination is suitable for note-taking as well as exercises, tables and diagrams.
Paper weight refers to the weight of the paper per square metre. However, it is not enough on its own to guarantee that ink will not show through: the result also depends on the pen, felt-tip pen or marker you use. For versatile use, check the product listing and choose a notebook that works with your usual writing instruments.
The transparent polypropylene cover includes two large storage flaps. They let you keep loose sheets, tickets, revision cards or bookmarks without adding a separate wallet. This is a real advantage for pupils moving from one lesson to another, as well as for professionals who want to keep a note or document related to the notebook’s contents.
The transparent cover also makes it easy to identify the notebook’s subject or insert a title page. A personalisation sticker is supplied so you can write a name, subject, class or project on it.
The notebook measures 24 x 32 cm, a comfortable size for detailed notes, sketches and projects requiring a generous margin. Its paper is stated to be made in France and PEFC certified. This certification relates to the sustainable management of forest resources according to the standard applicable to the product; it does not necessarily cover every component of the notebook.
To clean the cover, a dry or slightly damp cloth is all you need. Avoid sharp objects and abrasive products, which could scratch the transparent polypropylene.
Why this choice suits this profile : Its A6 format and 160 sheets are ideal for quick notes, lists and small sketches, while remaining very easy to carry.

Yes, this format is slightly larger than an A4 sheet, which measures 21 x 29.7 cm. It therefore leaves a margin around documents, but may not fit in every compartment designed to fit A4 precisely. Check the internal dimensions of your bag, locker or document case.
It depends entirely on how often you carry it, how heavy your bag is and how you handle the pages. The cover withstands everyday wear and tear, but it may become scratched or deformed under heavy pressure. Whenever possible, store the notebook flat and avoid cramming it with thick documents.
They are useful for temporarily keeping sheets, tickets, revision cards or small documents. However, they cannot replace a ring binder when you need to archive a large number of pages. For bulky documents, use a dedicated filing system and keep only the items you need every day in the flaps.
