They are bound in cardboard with a sewn spine that allows the notebook to lie flat. An elastic band is used to seal, and a ribbon bookmark is included along with an expandable pocket inside the rear cover which is packed in a paper banderole.
The name Moleskine does not have an official pronunciation in any other language except Italian.[3]
