NotePads Printing
Padded and cube notepads and sticky note books printed to your own size and branding, for desk-level advertising that gets used daily.
A notepad is a stack of printed sheets glued or padded along one edge, usually on a board backing, and cut to a size you choose rather than a stock format. This category covers memo cubes printed on all four sides as well as the top sheet, and small format sticky note books at 7x7cm. The buying decisions are sheet count, sheet size, whether every sheet carries branding or only the top one, and whether the adhesive is a padding glue at the edge or a repositionable strip. Cubes advertise on the block face even while the pad sits unused, which is why they outlast a flyer on a desk.

What This Solves and Who Buys It
Problems It Solves
- Advertising spend that disappears the moment a leaflet is read - a memo cube sits on a desk for months as it is used down
- Stock notepad sizes that do not match a form, an order sheet or a counter footprint
- Sheets that tear untidily or lift the whole block, caused by the wrong padding glue for the paper weight
- Branding on the top sheet only, which stops working after the first day of use - four-sided cube printing keeps the logo visible throughout
- Small quantities for a single office or event that most printers will not run below a pallet
Who Buys It
- Estate agents, banks and insurance brokers placing branded pads on counters and client desks
- Hotels and serviced offices supplying own-brand pads in rooms and meeting spaces
- Pharmaceutical and medical reps leaving a desk item behind after a clinic visit
- Event organisers producing delegate memo cubes with a programme printed on one block face
- Office supply distributors and print brokers quoting branded stationery for corporate accounts
Where It Is Used
- Reception and counter pads carrying a phone number and website
- Memo cubes given out at exhibitions as a desk-resident reminder
- Hotel bedroom and meeting room pads in the property's own branding
- Branded order and quotation pads used by field sales teams
- Sticky note books included in conference delegate bags
Why Order It Here
- Digital printing in house means a short run or a sample pad is produced in 1-2 working days, so a single office order is viable
- Offset printing on Heidelberg presses handles bulk runs economically once the quantity justifies plates
- Printing, padding, cutting and block gluing happen on the same site, so sheet count and glue choice are controlled together rather than subcontracted
- Four-sided cube printing is set up as part of the same job, not as a separate decoration step by another supplier
- Every finished block is hand checked against the approved artwork for colour match and quantity before photographs are sent for approval
Decisions to Make Before You Order
Pad, Cube or Sticky Note
A padded pad is glued along one edge and tears off flat - best where sheets are written on and filed. A cube is a thick block printed on all four sides, so it advertises while it sits. Sticky notes carry a repositionable strip and suit small formats like the 7x7cm book listed here.
Sheet Count and Size
Give us the finished sheet size in millimetres and the number of sheets per pad rather than a stock name. Sheet count drives both price and how long the pad stays on the desk; cubes are specified by block height because that determines how much printed face is visible.
Printing Every Sheet or Just the Top
Printing all sheets keeps the branding visible until the pad is finished and is the right call for an advertising pad. Printing the top sheet only is cheaper and makes sense when the sheets are working documents that will leave the building.
Artwork and Colour
Supply PDF, AI, PSD or JPEG at 300dpi with fonts saved as outlines. Keep text clear of the glued edge, which is covered on a pad and trimmed on a cube, and allow bleed if the design runs to the sheet edge.
NotePads Printing Questions
Can a cube carry different artwork on each of the four faces?
Yes. The four block faces are separate printed areas, so you can put a logo on one, contact details on another and a calendar or product list on the others. Supply each face as its own artwork file with the orientation marked.
Will the sheets tear cleanly off the pad?
That comes down to matching padding glue to paper weight. Tell us the paper weight you want and how the sheets will be used - a pad written on with a heavy hand needs a different glue setting from a counter giveaway.
How small an order can you run?
Digital printing makes short runs practical here, and MOQ varies by product - some have no minimum while others sit in the 500-1000 pc band. Send the sheet size and count and we will confirm the minimum for that build.
Can I have a backing board and a printed wrap?
Yes. A greyboard or chipboard backing stiffens the pad, and a printed wrap or header card can be added above the block. Both are specified at quote stage because they affect the padding and cutting setup.
How quickly can bulk pads be produced?
Regular offset commercial print runs 4-5 working days; bulk printing generally runs 5-7 working days, and large quantity orders 10-12 working days. Add 3-4 working days for express or air shipping, or 15-18 days by sea.
