Custom 4" x 3" Pocket Memo Pads by Captain Notepad
Printed in the USA · Based in Denver, Colorado since 2000
A 4" x 3" notepad is a small landscape memo pad: 4 inches wide and 3 inches tall. It's sized for the quick stuff, such as a phone message, a reminder or the date of the next appointment, and it's small enough to carry. We print your logo and layout in full color on every sheet.
You can start with 18 pads of 25 or 50 sheets. Setup is free, a designer will help at no charge, and you can see up to 3 proofs free. It's the smallest landscape option among our 34 standard notepad sizes.
Included With Every Memo Pad Order
A Small Landscape Memo Pad
Our other small memo pads, the 3" x 4" and 2" x 3", stand upright. This one lies on its side, which changes how it works. A wide logo fits across the top without shrinking, and each writing line runs the full 4 inches. That makes it a good fit for short labeled forms (Name, Date, Next Visit) and one-line messages.
4 x 3, 3 x 4 or 2 x 3?
We print three small memo pad shapes, each with its own job:
- 4" x 3" (this page): landscape and pocket-size, for reminders, appointment notes and wide logos.
- 3″ × 4″: our small memo pad, the same sheet turned upright for short lists.
- 2″ × 3″: our mini memo pad, about half the size, for a name and a number.
If you'd like a slightly bigger landscape pad, the 5″ × 4″ landscape notepad adds an inch each way.
Pocket Memo Pad Designs
The photos on this page show three ways to use the shape:
- Veterinary: the Paws & Claws Veterinary pad prints a paw-print logo, the clinic's phone number and illustrated pets, with Pet Name and Next Visit lines.
- Stationery style: the Copperfield Co pads put a copper logo and a "Notes" heading over ruled lines.
- Auto repair: the Side Swipe Auto Repair pad runs a script logo across the top with contact details along the bottom.
Start from one of our ready-made 4″ × 3″ designs or upload your own artwork.
Who Uses Small Memo Pads?
Clinics can print appointment reminders, and auto shops can note the next oil change. A front desk can take phone messages on them, and a sales rep can leave one with a business card. Because they're light and small, they also tuck easily into welcome kits and event bags.

Pocket Memo Pad FAQs: 4" x 3" Custom Notepads
What is a landscape memo pad?
It's a small memo pad that's wider than it is tall. This one is 4″ wide and 3″ tall, so a logo or a name runs across the top and short lines run the long way underneath. It's sized for quick messages, reminders and appointment notes.
How does a 4 x 3 pad differ from a 3 x 4 or a 2 x 3?
The 3″ × 4″ small memo pad is the same sheet turned upright (portrait), which suits short lists. The 2″ × 3″ mini memo pad is about half the size, for a name and a number. This 4″ × 3″ is the landscape choice, with room for a wide logo and a few lines.
Will a 4 x 3 memo pad fit in a pocket?
It's small enough to carry in a jacket pocket, a purse, a glove box or a car console. Pocket sizes vary, so if it has to fit a particular pocket, compare the 4″ × 3″ measurement with the pocket first, or call 888-268-7237 for a free sample.
What can I print on a small landscape memo pad?
Your logo, a phone number and a few labeled lines fit well: Name, Date, Next Visit or Message. You can also keep the page plain with lines, or add a short tagline. Our designer can help you fit it all at this size.
Can a clinic print appointment reminder pads?
Yes. The Paws & Claws Veterinary pad in the photos prints the clinic's logo and phone number with Pet Name and Next Visit lines. A dental or medical office can do the same with patient appointment lines; see our healthcare and medical pads for more ideas.
What does artwork bleed mean on a notepad?
Bleed means your design runs past the edge of the sheet, so color goes all the way to the edge after trimming. A standard bleed is 1/8″. Without the Artwork Bleed option, a 1/8″ margin around each sheet stays unprinted.
Do you make a 4 x 3 notebook?
We make 4″ × 3″ notepads: loose sheets glued along one edge that tear off one at a time. If you'd rather have bound pages, see our stapled memo books.
Do 4 x 3 memo pads have a sticky back?
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 4 x 3 notepads can I order?
The price calculator runs from 18 pads up to 1,000 pads, with 25 or 50 sheets per pad. For more than 1,000, call 888-268-7237 or request a quote.
How quickly can 4 x 3 memo pads be printed?
These memo pads print in 8–10 business days after proof approval, and shipping time comes on top of that. The calculator's 5-business-day rush and rush shipping at checkout shorten the wait.
