B5 Notebooks Teachers Swear By: Custom Logo Multi-Color Spiral Pads

Why Mrs. Rodriguez’s Classroom Switched to B5 Spiral Notebooks

(And Never Looked Back)

The Paper Tipping Point

San Diego high school teacher Elena Rodriguez watched a student’s backpack vomit loose worksheets onto rainy pavement. “That moment cost us 15 minutes of lab time,” she recalls. Her quest for storm-proof, size-smart notebooks ended when she tested Colorfly’s B5 Spiral Pads (176×250mm) — the Goldilocks zone between cramped A5 and bulky A4.

2. Logo Placement Errors

   • Safe zone: 15mm from top edge (avoid spiral occlusion)

3. Color Psychology 101

   • Math = blue (focus) / History = sepia (vintage) / Bio = green (growth)
