Custom Post-it® Notes with Your Logo
The note you stick to a client's monitor, slip into a sample order, or hand out at a trade show is not generic office supply — it is a daily branding surface. Custom-printed Post-it® notes turn the most-used pad on a desk into a small, repeated impression of your business, in the most universally recognized sticky-note format in the world.
At Captain Notepad, we produce fully customized 3M Post-it® brand notes for businesses, real-estate teams, schools, hospitals, hotels, and promotional campaigns across the United States and Canada. Every Post-it® product on this page is genuine 3M brand stock — not an imitation sticky note — with your logo, headline, or design printed directly onto the pad. We have been a custom-print partner for 3M Post-it® brand products since 2000, working through our trusted US manufacturing partners and fulfilling every order through our Denver, Colorado facility.
Why Custom Post-it® Notes Beat Generic Sticky Notes
Three things separate a custom 3M Post-it® pad from a generic store-shelf sticky note. Together they are the reason promotional buyers, real-estate agents, healthcare offices, and trade-show marketers keep ordering branded Post-it® notes year after year:
- Genuine 3M adhesive that holds securely on virtually any surface and removes cleanly without leaving residue or damage
- Trademark-protected Post-it® brand recognition that signals quality the moment the pad lands on a client's desk
- Full-color custom imprint on every pad — logo, headline, tagline, contact info, or full-bleed design
- Bulk pricing tiers from 250 pads for a small launch to 5,000+ pads for a corporate rollout, with volume discounts at every step
- Free design proofs before production starts — no risk of approving a pad that does not match your brand
- Wholesale-capable order processing for distributors, resellers, and multi-location buyers
Custom Post-it® notes sit alongside the rest of our promotional notepad and sticky-note catalog. If you are building a full branded marketing kit, explore our complete Custom Notepads collection.
Nine Post-it® Sizes Built for Promotional Work
We offer custom-printed 3M Post-it® notes in nine standard sizes, plus large die-cut shapes for non-rectangular designs. Each size matches a different promotional use case. Here is how to find the right format for the job.
Post-it® Notes | 2 3/4 x 3
The compact desk-reminder format. Smaller than the classic square but still large enough for a name, a date, or a quick message. The right pad for trade-show giveaways, conference handouts, and budget-tier promotional drops where unit count matters more than surface area.
Post-it® Notes | Custom 3 x 3
The classic Post-it® square. The most-recognized sticky-note format in the world and the right default for almost every promotional Post-it® program. Quick reminders, calendar notes, lead-magnet inserts, and brand impressions that get used every day. Available in 25-sheet or 50-sheet pads.
Post-it® Notes | 3 x 4
The slightly-taller variant of the classic square. Gives you roughly thirty percent more vertical space for headlines, two-line messages, or a logo plus a tagline. Same desk-presence as the 3 x 3 with more room to breathe.
Post-it® Notes | 3 x 5
The list-format pad. Sized for to-do lists, agendas, call notes, and any use case where a single Post-it® needs to hold a column of items. Standard format for healthcare appointment reminders and real-estate showing notes.
Post-it® Notes | 3 x 8
The tall-format pad. Long vertical surface for ruled lists, day planners, route sheets, or vertical headline designs. The right format for industries where the user is checking items off a long list — field crews, inspection routes, route sales, and delivery logs.
Post-it® Notes | 4 x 6
The handout-size pad. Large enough to function as a mini flyer with full-bleed branding, small enough to carry in a jacket pocket or hand out at an event. Standard format for promotional drops, sample-kit inserts, and direct-mail-style sticky-note pieces.
Post-it® Notes | 6 x 8
The trade-show centerpiece. Large-format Post-it® pad with enough surface for a full marketing message, multi-color design, or oversized headline. The right format when the Post-it® is the giveaway, not just a pad inside a kit.
Large Post-it® Die Cut Pads
The custom-shape format. We can produce Post-it® pads die-cut to any outline — logo silhouette, product shape, mascot, geographic outline, or any custom design. The right format when a standard rectangle does not deliver the brand impression you are going for.
Post-it® Flag, Pen and Highlighter Combos
The three-in-one promotional product combining a Post-it® flag dispenser, a pen, and a highlighter, all branded with your logo. The right format for higher-perceived-value giveaways at trade shows, customer-appreciation events, and onboarding kits.
Who Orders Custom Post-it® Notes
Custom Post-it® notes are one of the most-ordered promotional categories for businesses building branded marketing kits. Here is how our customers put them to work across industries.
Real Estate Agents and Brokers
Branded Post-it® pads on the desks of every agent, in every showing kit, and inside every closing-day folder. Real-estate teams order in bulk so every agent has consistent branded notes for leaving instructions on listings, sticking on staging photos, and inserting into open-house follow-ups. The 3 x 3 and 3 x 5 sizes are standard; 4 x 6 works for full-bleed listing flyers.
Healthcare and Medical Practices
Appointment reminders, prescription notes, follow-up instructions, and patient-handout pads, all branded with the practice name, logo, and contact info. HIPAA-conscious offices order branded Post-it® pads as part of standard patient-communication infrastructure. The 3 x 5 list format and 4 x 6 handout format are the most-ordered.
Hotels, Hospitality, and Front-Desk Operations
Branded Post-it® pads at every front-desk station, in every guest room, and inside every welcome amenity. Hotels and hospitality groups order in volume so the Post-it® becomes part of the guest-touch experience, used for room-service notes, housekeeping handoffs, and personalized welcome touches.
Trade Shows, Conferences, and Promotional Events
Custom Post-it® pads as booth giveaways, conference badge inserts, and post-event follow-up materials. Trade-show buyers typically order the 4 x 6 or 6 x 8 formats with full-bleed brand designs so the pad doubles as a mini flyer. Bulk pricing applies, with most orders shipping 1,000 or more pads.
Schools, Universities, and Educational Programs
Branded Post-it® pads for teacher kits, school-store sales, parent-teacher conference handouts, and university recruitment events. The 3 x 3 classic and 4 x 6 handout formats are most-ordered. Schools often pair Post-it® pads with branded pens, stickers, and notebooks for student or staff welcome kits.

How Ordering Custom Post-it® Notes Works
The process is built to be straightforward, even if it is your first custom Post-it® order.
- Choose the size and quantity. Pick a Post-it® format from the product list above (sizes 2 3/4 x 3 through 6 x 8, plus die-cut shapes), then choose your pad quantity from the pricing tiers. If you need a custom quantity not shown, request a quote.
- Upload your design. Send us your logo and design in a vector format (AI, EPS, PDF, SVG) or a high-resolution raster format (PNG, JPG, TIFF at 300 dpi or higher). We can also help refine artwork if your file is not print-ready.
- Approve the proof. Our art team builds a digital proof of your custom Post-it® pad and sends it for your review. Approve as-is or request revisions. We never start production without your written proof approval.
- Standard production runs 8 to 10 business days from proof approval. Standard ground shipping adds 2 to 5 business days. Rush production is available on most sizes — contact us before ordering if you have a fixed deadline.
Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Post-it® Notes
Are these real 3M Post-it® brand notes?
Yes. Every product on this page is genuine 3M Post-it® brand stock, never an imitation sticky note or knock-off. Captain Notepad is an authorized custom-print partner for 3M Post-it® brand products with full trademark and quality compliance. The product you receive carries the same patented 3M adhesive and the same Post-it® trademark you would find on a pad from any office-supply store, plus your custom branding printed directly onto every sheet.
What is the minimum order for custom Post-it® notes?
Our standard minimum is 250 pads per design across most sizes, workable for small businesses, real estate agents, individual practitioners, and single-event promotions. Pricing scales down per-pad as quantity goes up, with the steepest discounts at the 1,000+, 2,500+, and 5,000+ tiers. If you need a quantity below 250 or above 5,000, contact our team for a custom quote.
How much do custom Post-it® notes cost in bulk?
Bulk pricing applies the moment you order. As an example, a 3 x 3 custom Post-it® pad runs about $0.48 each at 250 pads, drops to $0.42 each at 500 to 2,000 pads, and reaches $0.41 each at 2,500 to 5,000 pads. Larger sizes follow the same volume-discount pattern; exact per-pad pricing for every size is shown in the price calculator on each product page above.
Can I order custom Post-it® notes wholesale?
Yes. Captain Notepad serves wholesale, distributor, and reseller accounts with bulk pricing on every Post-it® product line. Wholesale orders typically start at 1,000 pads per design and include dedicated account support, faster turnarounds on reorders, and tiered volume discounts. Contact our team with your order details and intended end-use and we will quote a custom wholesale program.
How fast can I get custom Post-it® notes?
Standard production is 8 to 10 business days from proof approval to ship date, not counting transit. Standard ground shipping adds 2 to 5 business days depending on your delivery location. Rush production is available on most Post-it® sizes — if you have a fixed deadline tied to a trade show, event, or campaign launch, contact us before placing the order and we will confirm whether the timeline is workable.
What sizes of custom Post-it® notes do you offer?
We offer nine standard sizes: 2 3/4 x 3, 3 x 3 (the classic square), 3 x 4, 3 x 5, 3 x 8, 4 x 6, 6 x 8, plus Large Die-Cut Pads for custom outline shapes. Pad thicknesses are typically 25 sheets or 50 sheets depending on size. Each size targets a different promotional use case — desk reminders, list pads, handouts, full-bleed marketing inserts, or trade-show centerpieces.
Can I print full color on custom Post-it® notes?
Yes. Every Post-it® size on this page supports full-color custom imprint — logo, headline, full-bleed background, photo, illustration, or any combination. Single-color and two-color options are available at lower price tiers for budget-conscious orders, but most modern promotional Post-it® designs run full-color because the cost difference is small and the brand impression is much stronger.
What file formats do you accept for Post-it® artwork uploads?
Vector formats (AI, EPS, PDF, SVG) are preferred because they scale cleanly to any pad size without losing edge sharpness. High-resolution raster formats (PNG, JPG, TIFF at 300 dpi or higher at the final print size) are also acceptable. If your only available file is a low-resolution logo or a screenshot, contact us before ordering — our art team can often redraw it for clean print, or recommend a different file before production starts.
Do you offer custom shapes or die-cut Post-it® pads?
Yes. Our Large Post-it® Die Cut Pads can be produced in custom outline shapes — your logo silhouette, your product shape, a mascot outline, a geographic shape, or any other design that breaks out of the standard rectangle. Die-cut Post-it® pads carry a small additional setup fee for the cutting die, plus standard per-pad imprint pricing. Lead time is typically 1 to 2 business days longer than rectangular pads.
Can you produce Post-it® pads with consecutive numbering or unique imprints?
Most of our Post-it® orders ship with the same design on every pad. Variable-data printing, consecutive numbering, or per-pad personalization is available on certain Post-it® formats but adds setup time and per-pad cost. If you need variable data — for example, a unique promo code on every pad — contact our team with your specs before ordering and we will quote the variable-data add-on.
What is the difference between 25-sheet and 50-sheet Post-it® pads?
Sheet count is the number of individual Post-it® notes in each pad. A 25-sheet pad is the standard promotional thickness, used and replaced quickly, and ideal for trade-show giveaways and high-volume promotional drops. A 50-sheet pad doubles the working life and feels more substantial in the hand, used for desk-pad placements, corporate-gift programs, and B2B promotional kits where the pad is meant to stay on the recipient's desk for months.
Are custom Post-it® notes made in the USA?
Yes. 3M Post-it® brand product is manufactured in the United States by 3M, the original inventor of the Post-it® note and the only authorized manufacturer of the product. Captain Notepad orders are produced by our trusted US manufacturing partners who specialize in custom imprinting on authentic 3M Post-it® stock, and every order is designed, supported, and fulfilled through our Denver, Colorado facility. Every step of the supply chain happens in the United States.
Can I order a sample Post-it® pad before placing a bulk order?
Sample pads are available on a case-by-case basis for qualified wholesale, distributor, and corporate accounts. For most promotional buyers, the free digital proof we send before production starts is sufficient to confirm artwork, color, and layout. If you have a specific need for a physical sample — for example, an executive sign-off requirement at a Fortune 500 buyer — contact our team and we will walk through the options.
Do you offer custom Post-it® Flag, Pen, and Highlighter combo products?
Yes. Our Post-it® Flag, Pen, and Highlighter combo is a three-in-one promotional product, combining a branded Post-it® flag dispenser, a pen, and a highlighter into one piece. The combo is popular at trade shows, customer-appreciation events, and corporate-onboarding kits where a higher-perceived-value giveaway is the goal. Each component is custom-imprinted with your logo at the same time so the kit ships as one branded set.
What is the return policy on custom Post-it® orders?
Because these pads are printed to your specifications and approved against your written proof, they are not resaleable as stock items if returned. If you are not satisfied with your order for any reason, contact our customer service team and we will work through a case-by-case resolution. Typical resolutions include reprinting any portion affected by a production error, or adjusting future orders to address layout, color, or sizing concerns identified after the first run.
