Notepads are the workhorse of your stationery cupboard. They’re affordable, flexible, and not very exciting.

Scratch that last one. Notepads are now officially exciting. With premium paper, a fancy tearing pad and beautiful customization, our brand-new Notepads are the perfect way to keep your brand front and center. 

Let’s take a closer look at how to make a Notepad, and how they’ll fit into your business.

First things first… why Notepads?

You might be looking at your snazzy MOO Notebook (or a less snazzy notebook from one of those other brands) and thinking, why do I need a cupboard full of Notepads too? 

The difference comes with how you’ll use them. Notebooks are a premium, personal writing experience, designed to keep your thoughts and doodles safe. Notepads are a tearable, shareable workhorse with an affordable price point – the perfect bit of stationery to hand out to everyone.

Here at MOO, we use our Notepads for:

  • Brainstorming in meetings – tearing a page off makes it easier to share with the room.
  • Reminders and notes – there’s plenty of space for to-do lists, phone messages and more. And once we’re finished, it’s easy to recycle each sheet.
  • Pretending we’re in the West Wing – Notepads are great for making notes on the go, which is especially important considering all the high-powered, walk-and-talk meetings we go to.
  • Sketching ideas – With their easy-tear pad, Notepads are ideal for sharing quick sketches around the design team.

Pick your size

When you’re making a Notepad, you’ve got a couple of different size options and page counts to choose from. Small Notepads (4×6”) are great for stashing in bags or backpacks and scribbling on the go. And for desk dwellers, Medium Notepads (5×7”) give you a little more space to let your ideas flow.

Next, you’ll need to choose whether you want 50 pages of premium Finch Opaque paper, or 100. How many doodles do you reckon you get through in a day…?

Customize your Notepad

You’ve realized you need a cupboard full of Notepads. You’ve picked the perfect size. Now it’s time to put your stamp on them. Upload your design and we’ll print it across every page of your shiny new Notepads, so your brand is always in the limelight. 

And because you’re printing with MOO, you can be confident that everything will look its very best. If the thought of operating InDesign makes you break out in a cold sweat, don’t worry. You can always…
