FAQ
What materials are used in Notsu products?
Notsu products are crafted using high-quality, sustainable materials. Our notebooks and planners, for example, feature premium vegan leather covers and thick, eco-friendly paper. We are committed to sustainability and ensure that all materials are sourced responsibly.
Are Notsu notebooks and planners suitable for professional use?
Absolutely! Notsu notebooks and planners are designed with professionals in mind. They feature minimalist and functional designs, making them perfect for business meetings, project planning, and everyday office use. The sleek, clean lines and durable construction ensure they hold up under frequent use.
Is Notsu paper fountain pen friendly?
Yes. Notsu notebooks use thick 120gsm paper that resists bleed-through and feathering, so fountain pens, brush pens, and markers stay crisp on the page. You can confidently write on both sides of every sheet.
Will my markers bleed through the pages?
With everyday pens, pencils, and most markers, no — the 120gsm paper is designed to prevent bleed-through. Very wet mediums like alcohol markers may show through, as with any paper notebook.
What does "dot grid" mean?
Dot grid paper is printed with a grid of small dots, spaced 5mm apart, instead of lines. It gives you just enough structure to write straight and draw neat diagrams, while staying subtle enough for sketching and freeform notes.
Do Notsu notebooks lay flat?
Yes. Our notebooks are Smyth-sewn, a binding method that lets the book open completely flat — no fighting the spine to write near the center of the page.
What's the difference between a Notsu notebook and a notepad?
Notebooks are bound, lay-flat books made for journaling and notes you want to keep. Notepads are glue-bound pads of tear-away sheets — ideal for to-dos, lists, and quick notes you want to hand off, file, or toss.
What sizes do Notsu index cards come in?
Our dot grid index cards come in 3×5, 4×6, and 5×7 inch sizes. They're printed with dot grid on both sides on thick 350gsm cardstock with rounded corners — among the thickest index cards you can buy, so even wet fountain pen nibs won't bleed through.
Can I use both sides of the index cards?
Yes. Both sides are printed with the dot grid, and the heavy 350gsm cardstock prevents bleed-through, so the reverse side stays clean and fully usable.
What are white gel pens for?
White gel pens are made for dark paper — black journals, kraft paper, and dark cardstock — where regular ink wouldn't show up. They're popular for black paper journaling, highlighting over dark backgrounds, and adding accents to planners.

What is the return policy for Notsu products?

Products must be returned in their original condition. Please contact our customer service team to initiate a return.
How do I care for the vegan leather cover?
Simply wipe it with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and fingerprints. For smudges, a slightly damp cloth works — just let the cover air dry afterward. Avoid harsh cleaners or soaking the cover.
