Quick Notes - Sticky Notes for Important Reminders
Introduction to Sticky Notes
You rely on sticky notes because they turn a simple jot into a visible action: adhesive strips let you place short reminders where you will see them. At Print & Graphics you can order personalised sticky notepads printed on high-quality adhesive paper in multiple formats, so you get consistent results whether you order 50 pads or 10,000.
More than 50 billion sticky notes are produced each year, and you use them across work, home and hobbies to flag appointments, deadlines and quick tasks. Be aware that these pads are designed for indoor use only and the glued surface contains solvents; do not stick them on food and avoid outdoor exposure.
Benefits of Using Sticky Notes
You gain instant visibility and flexibility: sticky notes let you move reminders around, highlight priorities and label items without permanent marks. With personalised printing you can print across the entire surface, add logos or slogans and design backgrounds that guide how users leave notes, making them an effective promotional tool as well as an office imperative.
Different sizes and sheet counts let you match form to function: formats include 50 x 72 mm, 72 x 72 mm and 100 x 72 mm, and pads are available with 50 or 100 sheets; the 50 x 72 mm pads can be portrait or landscape. Larger pads work well in warehouses and visible workspaces, while smaller formats suit desks and meeting rooms.
Printing is single-sided with options for classic black & white or full CMYK colour using high-quality inks, and the paper is a special 70 gsm adhesive white paper that peels off without leaving residues—ideal for temporary notes and branded giveaways.
Personalised Sticky Notes
Customization Options
You can choose from three formats (50 x 72 mm, 72 x 72 mm, 100 x 72 mm) and select portrait or landscape for the smaller size, with pad counts of 50 or 100 sheets. Each format allows full-surface printing, so you can place background graphics, logos, or slogans on the top or bottom to suit your branding and use cases.
Orders scale from small runs to large campaigns, so whether you need a few dozen pads or thousands, you can configure layout, sheet count and format to match your distribution plan. With Print & Graphics’ configuration menu you control every detail and get optimum quality across quantities.
Design and Aesthetics
Your design choices determine how visible and usable the notes are: large-format pads increase on-shelf visibility for warehouses, while the compact size fits neatly into office workflows. Choose CMYK four-colour printing for photo-quality graphics or black-and-white for a clean, economical look; both use high-quality inks for accurate colour and detail.
The white 70 gsm adhesive paper provides a clean writing surface and accepts fine detail without bleed, letting your typography and logos remain legible at small sizes. The pads are printed single-sided, so keep key information on the printable face for maximum impact and usability.
The adhesive is designed for indoor use and is not permanently sticky: it peels off without residue, but is not suitable for outdoor exposure and must not be applied to food because the glued surface contains solvents not suitable for consumption.

Related Products
You often pair your colorful sticky notes with other print and promo items — from personalised sticky pads and compliment slips to door hangers and stickers — because full-surface customization boosts brand visibility. Suppliers like Print & Graphics offer multiple sizes and print options, letting you order anywhere from 50 to 10,000 pads so your campaign or office supply run matches your needs.
For different uses you’ll choose different formats: small pads for desk reminders, larger formats for warehouse labeling, and promotional sets for events. The paper is typically 70 gsm adhesive paper that peels off without residue, and you can select 50 or 100 sheets per pad depending on how long you want the pads to last.
Market Trends
Despite digital notes, the market for physical sticky notes remains strong — with over 50 billion sheets produced annually globally — because you and your customers still value tactile, visible reminders. Brands increasingly use sticky notes as low-cost, high-impact promotional items, so demand for personalisation and vivid CMYK printing continues to grow.
At the same time, buyers are more safety- and sustainability-aware: you should note that standard adhesive pads are only designed for indoor use and that the glued surface can contain solvents — adhesive solvents are not suitable for consumption and you must avoid applying pads to food. This concern is driving demand for recycled papers and solvent-free or water-based adhesive alternatives.
More suppliers are responding by offering eco-friendly substrates, soy- or vegetable-based inks, and clearer labeling about adhesive properties, so you can choose products that align with your sustainability goals while keeping the benefits of branded, highly visible notes.
Various Formats
Sizes and Shapes
You can choose from 50 x 72 mm, 72 x 72 mm and 100 x 72 mm formats, with the option to print across the entire surface. You decide whether a background graphic covers the note or whether your logo, slogan or lettering sits at the top or bottom to leave writing space for the user.
For the 50 x 72 mm pads you can select portrait or landscape orientation and order pads with either 50 or 100 sheets. At Print & Graphics these choices are available in the configuration menu so you can match format and sheet count to your usage — promotional mailings, desk distribution or bulk storage.
Use Cases for Different Formats
The 100 x 72 mm size is ideal when visibility matters, for example in warehouses, workbenches or on large equipment, while the 50 x 72 mm pads suit busy offices, planners and compact desk spaces. The 72 x 72 mm square is versatile for quick reminders, short checklists and messages that need a bit more room without taking up much space.
When you use sticky notes for branding or campaigns, full-surface printing and strategic logo placement turn a simple note into a high-impact promotional item. Be aware of safety limits: these pads are designed for indoor use and the adhesive contains solvents, so do not stick them on food and use them indoors only.
To maximize effectiveness, match format to the task: pick larger formats for high-visibility tagging and inventory notes, choose small formats for personal reminders and handouts, and select 50 vs 100 sheets based on how often you expect replacement—this helps you control supply frequency and cost while keeping your workflow efficient.
High-Quality Paper for Your Sticky Notes
Paper Quality Comparison
You'll find that sticky notes printed on 70 gsm special white adhesive paper strike the best balance between writeability and stability: the sheets accept pens and markers without feathering while staying thin enough to stack neatly in pads. Compared with thinner, low-grade papers, the 70 gsm option provides better print fidelity and a more satisfying tactile feel when you pull a sheet from the pad.
The adhesive on this paper is formulated to be removable without leaving any residues, but it is intended for indoor use only. You should not place these notes on food, because the glued surface contains solvents not suitable for consumption.
Paper Types Compared
| 70 gsm White Adhesive Paper | Standard Low-Weight Paper |
|---|---|
| 70 gsm grammage for balanced thickness and flexibility | Often lighter than 60 gsm, prone to tearing and curling |
| Adhesive removes cleanly without residue | Adhesive may leave residue or lose tack quickly |
| Excellent print reproduction for logos and colours | Prints can appear faded or smeared |
| Suitable for repeated handling in office/home environments | Less durable under repeated handling |
| Designed for indoor use; not food-safe | Similarly not food-safe; adhesive quality varies |
Benefits of High-Quality Paper
When you choose high-quality 70 gsm adhesive paper for your sticky notes, you get clearer, sharper printing that makes logos and messages stand out—especially important if you use notes for branding or instructions. Your handwriting will perform better on the smoother surface, and the sheets will resist tearing when you peel them off the pad.
Additionally, using premium paper means the adhesive maintains consistent performance: the notes stay in place when you need them and can be removed cleanly when you don't. If you order personalised pads from Print & Graphics, this choice helps ensure your promotional materials or office supplies look and perform professionally while avoiding the hazards of applying adhesive to food surfaces (do not stick on food).
Printing Your Sticky Notes
Printing Techniques
You should choose between classic black and white and full-colour CMYK printing depending on whether you want bold branding or simple utility. All pads are typically printed single-sided on 70 gsm adhesive paper; the result is sharp when you use high-resolution artwork and high-quality inks for consistent colour reproduction.
Because the adhesive paper is designed for indoor use, you must avoid applications that expose pads to moisture or food — the glued surface contains solvents and is not suitable for consumption. If you need large-format visibility, select the larger sizes and consider full-surface printing so graphics extend to the edge.
- CMYK
- black and white
- single-sided
- 70 gsm
This helps you match technique to use-case so your notes perform exactly as intended.
Tips for Designing Your Own Sticky Notes
You should keep text bold and legible at small sizes; use clean sans-serif fonts and avoid placing important elements where the adhesive strip will cover them. Allow safe margins and consider whether the pad will be used in portrait or landscape orientation so your layout remains functional.
Provide print-ready files with at least 300 dpi for raster images and supply vector logos where possible to prevent pixelation. Avoid extremely fine lines or tiny type that will disappear on a small canvas, and be aware that bright RGB colours may shift when converted to CMYK.
- bleed
- 300 dpi
- readability
- vector logos
This ensures your design prints crisp and usable on every sheet.
For more control, work from a template that shows the adhesive area, include a small safety margin for text and logos, and proof a test pad before placing a large order; the pad surface behaves like normal paper and will not withstand outdoor exposure. Keep branding prominent but simple so notes remain practical for everyday use, and consider ordering samples to check colour and adhesion before a full run.
