Oxford TOUCH Collegeblock A4+ — Squared with Margins (L.28), Black
A4+ · 80 sheetsSquared, margins L/R90 g/m² OPTIK PAPERMatte TOUCH cover
The Oxford 400121610 is a TOUCH Collegeblock A4+ spiral pad with squared paper and margins on the left and right (Oxford ruling 28), on high-grade 90 g/m² OPTIK PAPER, with a black matte soft-touch card cover — for school, university and office notes that may later be torn out and filed.
OPTIK PAPER is silky-smooth and, according to Oxford, ink and fountain-pen ink do not show through. A double spiral lets the pad open a full 360°, and microperforation plus 4-hole punching mean torn-out pages go straight into standard folders and ring binders. The “+” in A4+ makes each torn-out page a full A4 sheet.
Before you order: Ruling 28 is squared with a margin on both sides — the standard German school ruling for maths and notes. If you need plain squares without margins, lined or dotted paper, order the matching Oxford Collegeblock instead.
What's in the Box
- 1 Oxford TOUCH Collegeblock A4+, 80 sheets (160 pages), squared with margins, black matte cover
What It Means in Practice
- Margins on both sides leave room for corrections, page notes or teacher comments.
- 90 g/m² paper takes fountain pens, gel pens and fineliners without show-through, and you can write on both sides.
- Torn-out pages are A4 and 4-hole punched — file them without a hole punch.
- The double spiral folds back 360°, ideal on small desks or lecture-hall tables.
- The matte TOUCH cover has a velvety feel and does not show fingerprints as easily as glossy covers.
What Will Not Work
- It is not a hardback notebook — the covers are laminated card on a double spiral.
- It is not plain squared paper without margins, nor lined or dotted.
- Pages are punched for standard 2- and 4-ring A4 binders; non-standard punching will not line up.
