Observations and an improvement
Aug 8th, 2010 - KielegatHi,
I found the whitelines site last year but could buy the products without expensive shipment costs. Last week I found out that amazon.de sells the products and with the free shipment to the Netherlands I couldn't wait any longer. I bought the lines A5 hard bound.
Yes, being Dutch I like the orange color in the Notebook;-)
An improvement would be to add more lines on a page. I normally use the superb notebooks from Ording & Reda which has a much higher density in lines. The Moleskine notebooks also have a perfect lining (but truly inferior paper for use with fountain pens).
However, the paper is good!
shareThe Best Sketchbook for Graphic Designers
Aug 4th, 2010 - karikdesignI wrote a whole post about Whitelines. I've carried sketchbooks around for 15 years...this is my favorite one by far, and is great for graphic designers!
I like the Wire-bound A5
Filepaper?
Jul 13th, 2010 - RaiHi Whitelines!!
I found whitelines paper in Paperchase and I really like it..it looks really swanky and it is much easier on my eyes!! I am a student and will be for some time, and I would really REALLY love some whitelines file paper!! Like a pad of a4 with a margin and hole punched. I would use it all the time, and I am sure many other people would, expecially if they are stationary geeks :P
Please make some for us students!!!!!

Whitelines
Jul 11th, 2010 - AmandaLove these notebooks-I use the hard bound as a journal. Just a suggestion-I saw in the custom items that one of them had an elastic band closure, like Moleskine. I think it would be great if the regular notebooks had elastic bands.
Filofax paper?
Jul 1st, 2010 - BamaI'm using a snazzy Filofax-style book for my notes, and would love to fill it with Whitelines paper. Are you planning anything like loose sheets, 95x170mm, with six prepunched holes?
Swedish innovation
May 29th, 2010 - MarcSaw that the phrase "swedish innovation" was on the product to describe your company. I got happy when I saw that, we need more of that here. Good job with the products!
Ideas for improvement (from a student)
May 22nd, 2010 - SimonHi there to all you guys at Whitelines
I just recently discovered you products, and while I really like the basic idea, I have some ideas for improvement - that would make your products my favourites for a lot of uses.
So, what are my needs? First and foremost I am a student. I prefer taking notes on paper rather than on a computer, and I take a lot of notes. I would really like to use your products for this, especially your A4 Wire notebook - but just as I need to take notes, I also need to file and organize them afterwards. And unfortunately, it is a bit of a pain to remove sheets from the Wire notebooks and put them in a ring binder. I have seen other notebooks with sheets that are perforated to make it easier to tear them from the notebook and file them. That would be great in your Wire notebooks! Another thing that would be really helpful for filing and organizing is if the sheets came pre-punched, so that I did not have to punch holes in them myself (when filing a lot of papers this is a pain to do). And if some people would like to tear the sheet from the notebook but don't want the pre-punched holes, you could make a double-perforation like in this notebook.
With these two small additions/tweaks, I am almost certain that your A4 Wire notebooks would become my favourite medium for note-taking. In fact, I think that a lot of people could use these additions - but of course I can't be sure. Another thing to consider could maybe be some sort of margin in the left? But I don't know if that is too student-oriented, or if it would detract from the simplicity. Perhaps you could make a version of the Wire as it is now, and a "student"-version with perforation, holes and a margin?

Paper quality
Apr 6th, 2010 - MladenThe MultiCopy paper may possess amazing, extraordinary, fabulous, even incredible environmental performances but it most emphatically doesn't possess the one essential and decisive feature: as a writing paper it is of an extremely poor quality and therefore useless. Any ink gets soaked through and sees through thus making it impossible to write on the reverse of the page. In this way it is useless for supporting or preserving our ideas and a great disappointment.
As with moleskines - if a little less money was spent on patenting and marketing, and a little more on the paper quality and excellence, you might have had a winner, as the idea wasn't bad. Sadly it just turned out a gimmick and I doubt whoever buys it once would buy it again!
Unfortunately these days to discover, to find a good quality notebook fit for writing on seems to be a futile task!
Come to Australia soon please!
Mar 24th, 2010 - CourtMadHey, recently stumbled across this product line over the web recently and hoping you are coming to more stores in Australia very soon!
Love the idea of scanning/printing notes and the background lines disappearing. Great for emailing others uni notes.
Have you considered making a tabbed notebook and/or a 3-5 subject notebook (wired - that sits flat) would be great for university/college students.
Thanks.

A human being
Feb 18th, 2010 - ericI saw these at a trade show in Los Angeles. They had no samples left but I took a card. It's a brilliant product and I will be ordering some squared from Amazon.
My complaints are that it's very difficult to tell clearly about the bindings. The Orange glue is on the top or side but which sizes?
Still can't tell what "hardbound" is from photographs or descriptions.
Please make a US paper size (8.5X11) so we can use your product in our files, notebooks and folders. It is very frustrating for our country to have tattered and ragged A4 paper always sticking out everywhere.
Please make a fold-flat version of your a5 hardcover book.
Jan 25th, 2010 - Daniel MatthewsI LOVE WHITELINES. I'm a complete convert to your magical product.
But i have one problem, using the a5 hardcover book i awkward, because it just doesn't fold flat!
please oh please make a fold-flat (similar to moleskines) version of your sketchbooks, it would make them even MORE awesome.
Love whitelines!
Jan 22nd, 2010 - AGI design smartphone apps and diagram user experiences for a living. Whitelines A4 squared was an excellent addition to my repertoire. Thank you for making this!
Shameless plug(may I?): Check out Shopper on iTunes or the BB App World.
Cheers!
Happy new year

Last year we got this beautiful piece of art from Reflex Advertising in New York. We have to share it with you now. In Sweden midsummer is a big thing and that is tomorrow (friday).
Even if we are soon heading darker times again, it looks bright for Whitelines. We hope it looks bright for you all as well..!
