Branded notepads & desk pads
The cheapest advertising we print. A pad with your name on it sits on someone's desk for months, and they look at it every time they write something down.
What we make
- Notepads — A4, A5 or A6, glued at the head, 50 sheets a pad. Plain, ruled or gridded.
- Quote and order pads — a notepad with your form printed on it, for the jobs that don't need a full duplicate book
- Desk pads — the large blotter-style pad that lives under a keyboard, usually with a year planner or your contact details along the foot
- Perfect-bound notebooks — a proper bound book with a printed cover, for the customers you want to give something better to
- Calendars and year planners — wall or desk, printed with your branding
Why they work as advertising
A flyer is looked at once. A pad on a desk is looked at every day for as long as the paper lasts, and it's the thing someone reaches for when they need to write down a phone number — which is exactly the moment you'd like your number to be in front of them.
It's also the one promotional item nobody throws away, because it's genuinely useful. That's the whole trick.

Put one thing on it, not five
The pads that work carry a logo and a phone number. The ones that don't carry a logo, three phone numbers, an email, a website, a physical address, a tagline and a QR code — and by the time all that's on there, nobody wants it on their desk.
Questions we get asked
How many sheets in a pad?
50 sheets a pad as standard.
Can I order a small batch of notepads?
Yes, small batches are fine, even on a first order. Most of the cost is in the setup rather than the paper, so 200 is rarely double the price of 100 — worth asking for both numbers when you enquire.
Can you print a form on the pad instead of plain paper?
Yes — quote pads, order pads and checklists all work as glued pads. If you need a carbon copy, you want a duplicate book instead.
Can we get a calendar printed with our branding?
Yes, wall or desk format. Order these by October if you want them for January — the whole industry prints calendars at the same time.
