SUQJOY 4 Pack A5 Lined Hardback Notebook Set (100gsm, 160 pages each) – Black
Product description
The essentials (and why a 4-pack can help)
If you tend to mix work notes, meeting scribbles and everyday plans in the same notebook, a multi-pack set is a simple fix. This SUQJOY 4 Pack of black A5 lined hardback notebooks is built for keeping topics separate: one book for client meetings, another for admin, another for home planning, and so on. The point isn’t just having more paper—it’s making filing later far less of a chore.
On paper, it’s aimed at regular office and home use rather than anything particularly specialised. You get thick 100gsm ruled pages, a hardback cover for protection, and practical extras like an elastic strap and a ribbon bookmark.
It’s not perfect for everyone though. If you use very heavy marker pens, you may still notice some show-through depending on your ink and how hard you press. That’s common with ruled notebooks, but it’s worth bearing in mind.
Key features that actually affect day-to-day use
There are a few details here that make the set more “usable” than many plain notebooks.
- 100gsm thick paper: The pages are described as steadier to write on and designed to reduce show-through compared with lighter paper. Bear in mind that how much you see can vary with the pen and pressure you apply.
- Hardback cover: Useful when notebooks live in bags or get carried between home and the office. It helps reduce bending and also provides a bit of support while writing when you’re not working at a desk.
- Elastic strap closure: Helpful for commuting and storage. It keeps the notebook neatly closed so your pages don’t end up half-open.
- Ribbon bookmark plus inner pocket: The ribbon marker makes it easy to jump back into where you left off, and the inner pocket is handy for loose notes and receipts.
- A set that files neatly: Matching black notebooks can make it easier to organise by month, client, or project—especially if you don’t want a rainbow of colours.

What to expect from the writing feel
The main draw is the combination of lined layout and thicker 100gsm paper. In real-world terms, this usually means less “thin paper” flex and a more confident pen glide than bargain notebooks with lighter stock.
That said, notebook performance is personal. If you write with very wet inks or press hard for emphasis, no 100gsm paper is going to be completely immune to show-through. The listing’s claim is “reduced” show-through, not a guarantee.
A quick example of use
Say you’ve got a week of meetings: you could keep one A5 book for meeting notes (with the ribbon bookmark so you don’t lose your place), another for action points and follow-ups, and a third for client paperwork you pick up on the move (the inner pocket is there for receipts or loose sheets). When you’re done, you’re not hunting through a single mixed book later.
Who it suits best (and who should skip it)
It’s a good fit if you want a portable A5 notebook for work and everyday life, and you like the idea of keeping topics separate without turning your filing system into a project.
It also makes sense if you regularly carry a notebook around—bags, commutes, between home and office—because the hardback cover and elastic strap are designed to cope with that.
It might not suit you if you’re after a notebook for extremely heavy-duty use where you’d expect premium features beyond what’s listed (or if you already know you need a specific paper behaviour with your particular pens).
Also, if you only ever need one notebook at a time, a 4-pack could be more than you’ll use unless you’re genuinely splitting work streams.
Should you buy it?
A solid pick if you want a practical set of black A5 lined hardback notebooks with 100gsm thick paper, a strap closure for storage, and a pocket + ribbon bookmark to keep things organised in day-to-day use.
Better avoided if you don’t need multiple books, or if you’re very sensitive to show-through and use pens known for strong bleed—because the listing says reduced show-through, and variation depends on pen and pressure.
If your priority is simple office/home organisation, this set does what it promises: keeps notes separated, helps you find your place quickly, and gives you a portable format that’s easier to carry than larger sizes.
