Custom 2 x 6 inch narrow list pads, three Cobalt Lane to-do pads with checkboxes, a blue pen and a white cup

Custom 2" x 6" Narrow List Pads by Captain Notepad

Printed in the USA · Based in Denver, Colorado since 2000

A 2" x 6" notepad is a long, narrow list pad: 2 inches wide and 6 inches tall. Your logo sits at the top, and a column of lines or checkboxes runs down the sheet. It's made for short lists, service checklists and quick reminders, and a torn-off sheet is close to bookmark size. We print your design in full color on every sheet.

The minimum order is 18 pads, with 25 or 50 sheets each. We don't charge for setup or design help, and up to 3 proofs are free. See how it compares with our other 34 standard notepad sizes.

Built for Lists

A narrow sheet keeps a list tidy. With only 2 inches across, each line holds a word or a short phrase, so items stack neatly down the page. That suits to-do lists, checklists, reading lists, call lists and anything else you check off one item at a time. See our daily task list pads and shopping list pads for more list layouts.

2 x 6 or 3 x 7?

Both pads are tall and narrow, but they do different jobs:

  • 2" x 6" (this page): the slimmer strip, for checklists and short lists. It also doubles as a bookmark.
  • 3″ × 7″: our skinny notepad, an inch wider and taller, for longer grocery and packing lists.

For a list pad a little wider than this one, see the 3″ × 6″.

A Notepad That Doubles as a Bookmark

A 2" x 6" sheet is close to the size of a typical bookmark. Tear one off and it can mark a page in a book, a planner or a manual, with your logo showing at the top. Libraries, bookstores, schools, tutors and authors can print a reading list or a reading log and get two uses from every sheet.

Magnetic List Pads for the Fridge

A narrow list pad is a natural fit for the fridge door. Magnetic backing is available by phone: call 888-268-7237 and we'll set up your pad with a magnet. The price calculator also lists a Notepad Magnet (Not Attached) option; ask us how it works before you choose it. For more magnet styles, see our Magnetic Notepads.

Narrow Notepad Designs

The photos on this page show three ways to use the strip:

  • HVAC: the Comfort Zone Heating & Air pad prints a flame-and-snowflake logo, the phone number and "Financing Available," then checkboxes for Filter Change, Thermostat, Refrigerant and Inspection.
  • To-do list: the Cobalt Lane pads put a small logo and a "To Do" heading over a column of checkboxes, with a blue and coral pattern at the bottom.
  • Construction: the Builders Square, Inc. pad frames the sheet with a thin colored border, with the logo at the top and the phone number at the bottom.

Start from one of our ready-made 2″ × 6″ designs or upload your own artwork.

Narrow Notepad FAQs: 2" x 6" Custom Notepads

What is a long narrow notepad?

It's a notepad three times taller than it is wide, built for lists. This one is 2″ wide and 6″ tall: a logo at the top, then a column of short lines or checkboxes running down the sheet.

How narrow is a 2 x 6 notepad?

Each sheet is 2″ wide (about 5.1 cm) and 6″ tall (about 15.2 cm). That's narrow enough for one word or a short phrase per line, which keeps lists quick to write and easy to read.

Should I choose a 2 x 6 or a 3 x 7 notepad?

Choose the 2″ × 6″ for short lists and checklists with one word or a few per line. Our 3″ × 7″ skinny notepad is an inch wider and an inch taller, with room for longer items like a full grocery or packing list.

Can a torn-off sheet work as a bookmark?

It can. A 2″ × 6″ sheet is close to the size of a typical bookmark, so a sheet with your logo can mark a page in a book or planner. That makes it a handy pick for libraries, bookstores, schools and tutors.

Can I order a custom magnetic notepad for the fridge?

Yes. Magnetic backing is available by phone, so call 888-268-7237 and we'll set up a 2″ × 6″ pad with a magnet so it can hang on a fridge. The price calculator also lists a Notepad Magnet (Not Attached) option; ask us how it works. You can also browse our Magnetic Notepads.

Can I print a service checklist on a 2 x 6 pad?

Yes. The Comfort Zone Heating & Air pad in the photos prints checkboxes for Filter Change, Thermostat, Refrigerant and Inspection under the logo and phone number. Pest control, cleaning and lawn care companies can print their own service steps the same way.

Are 2 x 6 notepads good giveaways?

They're light, slim and easy to hand out with a business card, at a trade show table or in a welcome bag. A useful list pad gives your logo a reason to stay on the desk or the counter. For more ideas, see our promotional products.

Do 2 x 6 notepads stick to things?

No. The sheets are glued along one edge onto a chipboard backer and tear off cleanly, with no adhesive on the back. For notes that stick, see our custom sticky notepads and Post-it® Brand custom sticky notes.

How many 2 x 6 notepads can I order?

The price calculator runs from 18 pads up to 5,000 pads, with 25 or 50 sheets per pad, and the per-pad price generally drops as the quantity goes up. For more than 5,000, call 888-268-7237 or request a quote.

How long do narrow notepads take to print?

Narrow pads go into production for 8–10 business days once the proof is approved; shipping is extra time. Choose the 5-business-day rush in the price calculator, then rush shipping at checkout, for a faster delivery.
