Some years ago, I'd discovered the BILT Matrix Conference Pads - wonderful paper, excellent quality - a pleasure to write on.
Two weekends back, I got reunited with BILT Matrix - this time, with their
A4 sized single lined notepads. Ahhh, the joys of owning good
stationery! Since then, I've gone and got myself their Youth series of
A4 pads and some of their Premium A4 and A5 notepads. The Youth series
have the same smoothness, but have thinner paper - good for writing
letters internationally where the weight counts. The Premium series have
70 gsm paper - perfect.
The pricing is excellent too,
with the Youth series A4 sized 100 page notepads at Rs.29/= and the
similar Premium one priced at Rs.42/=
Only drawback -
not many stationers in the area seem to stock it - apparently BILT has
very poor marketing and their salesmen hardly ever drop in to the
stores. This is most unfortunate because I would rate BILT as having the
best quality around. What we need is also a good online stationery
store, like Office Depot. Ballarpur Industries Limited, are you
listening?
