Custom Multicolour Sticky Notes

Sizes and Shapes

The classic square sticky note is around 75 x 75 mm, which suits most desks and messages. Smaller pads around 50 x 50 mm fit in pockets and diaries. Rectangular pads around 100 x 75 mm give more writing space for lists. Die-cut shapes such as speech bubbles, houses, hearts or a product outline make a pad more memorable.

Sheet count affects price and how long the pad lasts. A thinner pad is cheaper to give away in quantity; a thicker pad lasts longer on a desk and keeps your logo in view for more weeks.

Pads can also be supplied in sets, such as a cube of mixed pads or a booklet of small pads with a card cover, which works well as a premium gift.

For postal mailings, flat square pads slip easily into an envelope with a letter or brochure, adding something useful to the mailing that people are less likely to throw away straight after opening it.

Die-cut shapes cost a little more than squares but are far more likely to be kept and talked about. A pad shaped like your product, a house for an estate agent or a tooth for a dental practice makes the giveaway feel designed for the occasion. Planning sessions that need more room use larger sticky notepads in the same mix.

Printing Your Logo and Message

Keep print light on each sheet so there is plenty of space to write. A small logo in a corner or along the bottom edge works best. A short message, a web address or a phone number can sit beside it.

On multicolour pads, choose a print colour that reads well on every sheet colour. Dark navy, black or a deep brand colour usually works across pastel mixes. On neon sheets, black gives the strongest contrast.

Printing on the pad cover, if you choose a booklet or cube style, gives more room for branding without taking space from the notes themselves.

A short, useful prompt printed at the top, such as 'to do', 'call back' or 'ideas', gives the note a purpose and makes people more likely to reach for it. A web address along the bottom edge is a subtle reminder of where to find you. You receive a free proof on each colour before the pads are printed.

Adhesive and Paper

Sticky notes use a repositionable adhesive strip along one edge, which sticks firmly to paper, screens and desks and peels away cleanly. The paper is smooth and takes pencil, ballpoint and felt tip well.

For notes used on walls during workshops and planning sessions, a stronger adhesive keeps them in place on vertical surfaces. Tell us how the pads will be used and we suggest the right option.

Paper weight matters for writing comfort. A slightly heavier sheet stops felt tip pens from bleeding through and keeps notes from curling when they are stuck to a screen. Desk gifts that are not stuck to anything suit glued notepads for desks instead.

Who Orders Branded Sticky Notes

Estate agents, recruiters, accountants, solicitors, schools and universities, charities, software firms, marketing agencies, conference organisers and trade show exhibitors all order branded sticky notes. Businesses also use them internally to tidy up office supplies with consistent branding.

They are popular in welcome packs for new staff, students and clients, alongside a branded pen and notepad.

Dental practices and opticians often hand them out with appointment reminders printed on the first sheet, while software and tech firms include them in event swag alongside stickers and pens. Estate agents leave pads with new homeowners, so the agency name is on hand when friends ask for a recommendation. Delegate packs usually combine the pads with A5 notepads for conference bags.

Pick the Print Colour That Reads on Every Sheet in the Mix

Multicolour pads have one design constraint that single-colour pads do not: the same logo has to read on every sheet colour in the mix. Choose the mix first, pastels or neons, then pick a print colour that holds up on all of them, which usually means navy, black or a deep brand colour rather than a pale one. Keep the logo small and in a corner so there is room to write, and decide the sheet count by use: thin pads for large giveaways, thicker pads for desks. If the pads go in goody bags, ask for individual wrapping. Conferences often pair the pads with A5 notepads for delegate bags in the same print.

Send the logo, size, colour mix and quantity, and a custom quote comes by email within one working day. The free proof shows the print position on each colour in the mix. Pads are printed and bound in 4 to 7 working days after approval, arrive by tracked courier to UK mainland addresses, and misprinted pads reported within 10 days are reprinted or refunded. Reorders keep the same mix and artwork.
