Custom Notepads Printed with Your Logo
A custom notepad is a glued pad of tear-off sheets with your own design printed on every page. Businesses use them as everyday marketing: real estate agents leave them at open houses, clinics hand them to patients, and contractors leave one behind after every job. Companies also put their logo on pads for trade show booths, new-hire onboarding kits and the reception desk, often paired with custom pens. Because each sheet is used for a grocery list, a phone message or a quick sketch, your logo and phone number get seen again and again.
We print custom notepads in full color, so photos, gradients and brand colors come out the way you designed them. Choose ruled lines, a checklist, a form or a blank writing area, and add your contact details to the sheet. Each pad sits on a standard chipboard backer.
Custom Printed Notepads for Every Use
The tiles above group our custom printed notepads by type. Popular categories include:
- Custom graph paper pads and engineering paper: grid and engineering layouts with your logo for engineers, architects, schools and contractors.

- Custom sticky notepads: sticky notes printed with your logo, plus Post-it® brand notes for buyers who want the name brand.
- Real estate notepads: ready-made themes for agents and brokerages that only need a photo and contact details.

Prefer to talk it through? Call 888-268-7237 or request a quote for larger runs, several designs or a size you don't see listed.
Bulk and Wholesale Custom Notepads
Bulk custom notepads are ordered the same way as a small run, and the cost per pad generally drops as the quantity goes up. On most sizes the price calculator goes to 5,000 pads or more, so you can price custom notepads in bulk online before you order. For wholesale custom notepads, several designs or a quantity the calculator doesn't list, request a quote or call 888-268-7237. Promotional products distributors can also order through SAGE and ASI.
Personalized Notepads and Note Pads for Gifts
Personalized notepads don't need a company logo. A name, a monogram, a family photo or a favorite quote turns a plain pad into a gift that gets used every day, for teachers, coaches, new homeowners or a whole team. Teachers order custom notepads for themselves too, with their name or classroom on every sheet for quick notes home. Low minimums on most sizes keep small gift orders simple.

Custom Notepad FAQs
Where can I get custom notepads printed?
Right here. Captain Notepad prints custom notepads with your logo or design in the USA and ships nationwide from Denver. Choose a size from the size chooser above or a category such as magnetic notepads or legal pads, then upload your logo or start from one of our designs. You can also call 888-268-7237 and order by phone.
How do I get custom notepads made?
A notepad is a stack of printed sheets glued along one edge onto a chipboard backer, and we do all of that for you. Pick a size, quantity and sheet count, then add your artwork: upload a finished file, customize one of our templates online, or ask our designers to lay it out for free. We send a proof before anything prints, and standard production is 8–10 business days after approval on most sizes, plus shipping.
Can I order custom notepads with no minimum?
Every size has a minimum, but most are low. The 17 x 11 desk pad starts at 4 pads, most standard sizes start between 6 and 25 pads, and the 5.25 x 8.5 and 8.5 x 10.5 pads start at 250. The size chooser on this page lists the minimum for every size.
How much do custom notepads cost?
The price depends on the size, the number of sheets per pad, the paper and the quantity. Each size page has a price calculator that shows your total before you order, and the cost per pad generally drops as the quantity goes up. There are no setup fees.
How long does it take to get custom notepads?
Standard production is 8–10 business days after you approve your proof on most sizes, plus shipping time. A few large-volume sizes take longer. Rush options vary by product, so check the price calculator on the size you want or call 888-268-7237 if you have a firm date.
What size custom notepad should I choose?
Think about where the pad will be used. Narrow list pads such as 3.5 x 8 notepads suit fridges and kitchens, 4.25 x 5.5 notepads and 5.5 x 8.5 notepads fit most desks, and letter size or 17 x 11 desk pads give room for planning. If you are unsure, ask for free samples.
Are custom notepads sticky?
No. Our custom notepads are glued along the top edge, so each sheet tears off cleanly and has no adhesive on the back. If you need notes that stick, see our custom sticky notepads and Post-it® brand notes.
What is the difference between a notepad, a memo pad and a sticky note?
A notepad is a pad of tear-off sheets glued along one edge onto a backer. A memo pad is a smaller notepad made the same way, such as our 3 x 5 memo pads. A sticky note has a strip of adhesive on the back of each sheet so it stays where you put it; for those, see our custom sticky notepads. We also make memo cubes and stapled memo books.
Can I get personalized notepads with my name instead of a logo?
Yes. A name, monogram, photo or short message works just as well as a logo, and our designers can set it up for you for free. Personalized notepads make simple gifts for teachers, clients and new hires.
Can I see a sample or a proof before I order?
Yes. We send free samples so you can feel the paper and check the size, and every order includes up to 3 free digital proofs, usually within 1 business day. Nothing prints until you approve the proof. To ask for samples, call 888-268-7237 or send us a message.
Can promotional products distributors order custom notepads?
Yes. Captain Notepad is listed with SAGE and ASI, so distributors can order for their clients. For larger runs or several designs, request a quote or call 888-268-7237.
