2" x 3" Custom Notepads by Captain Notepad
Printed in the USA · Based in Denver, Colorado since 2000
Pocket-Size Pads. Full-Color Branding.
Tiny format, big impact. Our 2" x 3" custom notepads are mini notepads made for trade shows, welcome kits and leave-behinds. Each 2 x 3 inch memo pad prints your logo in full color on every sheet and sits on a sturdy chipboard backer, so it holds up in a pocket, a purse or a glove box.
Order as few as 25 pads, with 25 or 50 sheets per pad. Free design help and free digital proofs are included, and there are no setup fees. It's the smallest of our 34 standard notepad sizes.
Why People Order Mini Notepads From Us
What a Mini Notepad Is For
A mini notepad does one job well: it's always there when someone needs to write something down. Phone numbers, locker combinations, a parking spot, a reminder for later. Because a 2" x 3" pad is so small, it ends up in places a big pad never goes, and your logo goes with it.
- Landscapers and home services: the Green Valley Landscaping pad in the photos prints the logo, phone number and "Free Estimates" above a few Notes lines and a garden scene.
- Shops and suppliers: the Northwind Supply pads use a compass logo, a Notes heading, a short checklist and a Date line.
- Nonprofits and volunteer groups: the Volunteer Services, Inc. pad keeps the logo at the top and the phone number and website at the bottom, with open space between.
- Schools and events: mini pads fit in registration packets and goody bags.
Compact 2x3 Note Pads for Giveaways
Printed notepads make good giveaways because people use them. At a trade show, a mini notepad is easy to carry home with the rest of the booth swag. In a welcome kit, it sits next to a brochure and a business card. As a leave-behind, it stays on a counter or a nightstand long after the visit. Pair the pads with custom pens and pencils for a simple matching set, or browse more promotional products.
For giveaways, keep the design simple: a logo, a phone number or website, and room to write. A small checklist or a "Notes" heading helps people see what the pad is for.
Personalized Mini Notepads
A personalized mini notepad works for people too. Print a name, a monogram or a short message for a stocking stuffer, a teacher gift, party favors or a wedding table. The minimum is 25 pads, so a small family order or a classroom set is easy.
Mini Notepad, Memo Book or Pocket Notebook?
All three fit a pocket. A notepad has tear-off sheets glued at one edge, so a single note can be handed to someone. A memo book is stapled like a booklet, so the pages stay together. See our stapled memo books and recycled pocket notebooks if you need bound pages. Want sheets that stick? See our sticky notepads.

Mini Notepad FAQs: 2" x 3" Custom Notepads
What size is 2 x 3 paper?
A 2″ × 3″ sheet is 2 inches wide and 3 inches tall, a little smaller than a standard 3.5″ × 2″ business card. As a notepad, it's the smallest size we offer: big enough for a name, a number or a two-line reminder.
How many sheets are in a mini notepad?
You choose: 25 or 50 sheets per pad in the price calculator. Twenty-five sheets keeps the pad thin for pockets and welcome kits; 50 sheets lasts longer on a desk or by the phone.
How do I make a mini notebook with my logo?
The simplest way is a mini notepad: we print your logo on every sheet and glue the sheets onto a chipboard backer, so they tear off one at a time. Customize one of our ready-made 2″ × 3″ designs, upload your own artwork, or send your logo to our designer for a free layout. If you'd rather have pages bound with staples, see our stapled memo books.
Can I buy mini notepads in bulk?
Yes. The calculator runs from 25 to 5,000 pads in one order. For larger quantities or several designs, call 888-268-7237 or request a quote.
Can a mini notepad go on a keychain?
We don't make keychain notebooks. A 2″ × 3″ pad is made to slip into a pocket, purse or glove box instead. A hole punch is available by phone if you want to add your own ring.

Pens aren't attached to the pads, but we sell custom pens and pencils with your logo, so you can order both and hand them out together at a booth or in a welcome kit.
