FAQ

What is Vela full layout? How does it compare to other notebooks?

Standard lab notebooks generally feature just numbered pages, where you need to write in your user index, book information details, adhere any user guide pages, etc. Vela notebooks all have numbered pages, but have all these layout extras already printed and organized for you, plus some. Saving you time and keeping you and your lab organized.

Is the layout the same in all Vela notebooks?

Vela layouts are standardized by size, with the larger format books for the lab having all the same accessory format (user page, index, abbreviation charts, so on). Smaller size variations such as compact and field have slightly more compact layouts with less accessory pages to better use page space and match the standard use for those notebooks.
