Heritage & History
Five Star is an ACCO Brands product line with roots stretching back decades in American notebook manufacturing. ACCO Brands itself traces its history to 1903, when Fred J. Kline founded the Clipper Manufacturing Company in Long Island, New York. Through a series of acquisitions and consolidations, ACCO Brands assembled the major American school and office supply brands, including the Five Star line acquired through the $860 million MeadWestvaco Consumer and Office Products deal in 2012.
The Five Star brand has been a fixture in American back-to-school shopping for generations. The distinctive wirebound notebook with its durable cover and water-resistant construction became the standard for students who needed notebooks that could survive being carried through rain, tossed in lockers, and used daily across a full school year. The brand's reputation for quality is built on consistent manufacturing standards maintained at American facilities.
Made in Sidney, Ohio
Five Star notebooks are manufactured at the Sidney, Ohio facility, where over 600 union members produce notebooks, binders, and related products. The Sidney plant focuses on printed and detailed products serving the educational, retail, and professional sectors — a genuine domestic manufacturing operation in a state with deep industrial roots.
The Five Star construction features water-resistant covers that protect contents through backpack weather exposure, perforated pages for clean tear-out, and reinforced pockets that hold loose papers without tearing. The wirebound spiral binding allows the notebook to lie flat when open, a practical feature for left-handed writers and anyone who needs consistent contact between pen and paper. For students and professionals who want American-made school and office supplies with documented domestic manufacturing, Five Star is the established choice in the spiral notebook category.
