Campus Notebook has continued to pursue easy-to-use notebooks that match the times. While the functions of notebooks have been extensively researched, we started creating products with the question of ``what is a notebook that feels good to the senses'' in mind for those who use it?
What I ended up with was the feeling that `` a flat feels good.'' In order for people to feel this feeling when they pick up the notebook, we believe it is important to express a sense of openness and spaciousness, so that the moment you open the notebook, you can think of it as a single page spread. We included requirements such as eliminating the bulge in the center of the page, and ensuring that the borders do not break between the left and right pages.

We're also very particular about the design of the cover, so that you can get a sense of how comfortable the flat design is at a glance, and it's a bit different from previous Campus Notebook! To give you a sense of this, we have created an aggressive design that is slightly different from previous Campus logos. Please feel free to pick it up and compare.

Up until now, there have been notebooks that open flat, but the hurdle was to make them in large quantities while keeping the price low so that more people could get their hands on them. moreover, How can we help people experience the feeling of “flats feel good”? In order to achieve this, we continue to focus on manufacturing methods, Approximately 3 years development period After a lot of hard work, we have finally completed products that everyone can get their hands on.
Particular attention was paid to the ``glue'' that connects the paper inside and the spine. Aiming for both strength and strength, Verified over 100 ways by combining over 30 types of glue and how to make them. By repeating this process and thinning the width of the glue by millimeters, we were able to create a flat spread.
The comfort of a carefully selected flat. "Can we really do it?" products was a challenge that I had never felt before. Please pick it up and experience it for yourself.

Things you can do because it's flat
Since it is flat, there is no need to hold the page in your hand when taking pictures with your smartphone. In addition, there are no shadows or distortions caused by the bulge in the center, so you can take clear pictures.

Eraser particles get stuck in the binding part of the notebook and can't be removed...Actually, it's hard to get them in if you're using Fracan.
