Volant Notebooks
About Volant Notebooks
A volant is very similar to a singer sewn notebook or exercise book, but the difference is in the outside material or cover. The cover is wrapped around the notebook pages so therefore the inner stitching of the bookblock is not visible.
A volant is a great choice of notebook if you want something for everyday use as it is thin, lightweight and flexible. Because of the binding, you get a much smaller amount of pages within the book. It is a slim notebook with a ‘false cover’; one sheet of material that tightly encloses the sewn pages inside. The volant is commonly an A5 size, slim, with rounded edges – this would easily fit in your pocket and a perfect note keeper.
Why Volant Notebooks Are Good
- Portability: Slim and lightweight, ideal for travel.
- Detachable Pages: Easily remove pages without damaging the notebook.
- Affordability: Generally more cost-effective due to simpler construction.
How Volant Notebooks Are Made
Volant notebooks are typically bound with a flexible cover and feature perforated pages that can be easily torn out. The cover is glued to the book block, creating a lightweight and portable notebook.
