FAQ

Yes. Every pad is genuine 3M Post-it brand, with the same adhesive you buy in stores. The only 3M branding is on the backer sheet; your printed sheets carry only your design.

Our office is in Maryland. Post-it Notes are printed and shipped from the Midwest, so most of the US gets them in 1 to 5 days by UPS Ground.

50 sheets is standard. 25-sheet pads are available on larger orders, usually 250 pads or more.

On a 4" x 3" pad it is on the 4" edge; on an 8" x 6" pad, the 8" edge. Want a tall, portrait note? We can turn your design so the adhesive sits on the left or right at no extra cost. Just say so in the artwork instructions.

Standard sizes run from 2" x 3" up to 10" x 6" and are listed on each product page. We also cut custom sizes (quoted, minimums apply) and make large wall pads up to 15.75" x 15.75".

Standard Post-it paper is about 50# offset (similar to 20# bond). A heavier 60# offset is available on orders of 500 pads or more.

Super Sticky uses 3M's stronger adhesive, made for vertical and hard-to-stick surfaces: doors, windows, monitors, trash cans and car windows. Super Sticky comes on white paper (we can print any background color), starts at 500 pads for most sizes, and takes about 7 working days to produce. For desks, calendars and giveaways, regular adhesive works well.

It depends on the product:

• Full color on white paper: as few as 1 pad.
• One ink color on colored paper: 10 pads.
• Super Sticky, Pantone ink, some premium paper colors, 25-sheet pads and printing on the back: 500 pads.

Small orders run continuously in set quantities, so we can only make the amounts listed on the site. The next size up is often only a little more and cheaper per pad. Custom quantities are possible over 500 pads; chat with us and we'll set up a cart.

No. There are no setup charges and proofs are always free.

No. Your order is placed at checkout, but we don't charge it until you approve the proof. If you cancel before approving, there is no charge. Prefer to see a proof before ordering? Chat with us or email info@stik2it.com.

PDF is best, with fonts converted to outlines. Vector files and images of 300 dpi or more print sharpest; JPG and PNG work too. Designing in Canva? Download it as PDF Print. Send Pantone (PMS) or CMYK colors; screen colors like RGB and hex can't be matched exactly.

To print to the edge, add a 1/8" bleed on every side. Keep phone numbers and other key text at least 3/16" from the edge. Each size has a template on its product page. Thin borders near the edge can look uneven after cutting, so we suggest avoiding them.

Yes, free. Type your text in the artwork instructions box, or upload a Word doc, a photo or even a hand sketch. We'll lay it out and send a proof.

Yes. Write your note in dark ink on white paper, then scan or photograph it. Our size templates help you fit it. We also have fonts that look like handwriting.

Yes. With full color printing we print any background color onto white paper. The front looks fully colored, the back stays white, and it is often the cheapest option with the lowest minimum. You can still write on it easily.

On white pads, single-color printing comes in black, red or blue. On colored paper, ink choices are shown per color, since some combinations don't print well. Need several colors or an exact match? Choose full color, or Pantone ink on 500 pads or more.

Production starts once you approve your proof and counts business days only:

• Full color on white: about 3 to 5 days
