More Than Just Sticky Notes
The Post-it® range extends well beyond the traditional square note pad found on an office desk. Products such as Post-it® Super Sticky Notes, Note Cubes, Page Markers, Flags and Special Shaped Notes are designed for different workplace tasks and branding objectives. Some products focus on note taking and reminders, while others are intended for document referencing, project organisation or creating highly visible messages within busy work environments.
Format selection can have a significant impact on both usability and branding opportunities. Note Cubes maximise the number of available sheets, shaped notes create a more distinctive appearance and page markers allow branding to remain visible while documents are being referenced. Understanding how the product will be used often provides a better starting point than simply selecting a note size or colour.
Should I choose a Post-it® Note Cube or Post-it® Super Sticky Notes?The choice depends on how the notes will be used. Note Cubes are designed for high-volume note taking and long-term desk use, while Super Sticky Notes are often selected when notes need to remain attached to surfaces for longer periods or be repositioned regularly.
Why are Post-it® Special Shaped Notes so popular?Special Shaped Notes allow the note itself to become part of the design. Organisations often create shapes based on products, logos, mascots or event themes, helping the notes stand out from traditional rectangular formats.
When should I choose Post-it® Super Sticky Notes?Super Sticky Notes are often selected when notes need to remain attached for longer periods or be applied to a wider range of surfaces. They are particularly useful in workplaces where reminders and project notes are frequently moved or repositioned.
Are Post-it® Page Markers and Flags different products?While both are used for document organisation and referencing, the formats and applications can vary. They are commonly used in offices, education, training and professional environments where quick document navigation is important.
What is the advantage of PMS Colour Match Notes over standard colours?PMS Colour Match Notes allow organisations to align the paper colour with specific brand guidelines rather than selecting from a limited range of stock colours. This can help create a more consistent branded presentation.
Can full-colour graphics be printed on Post-it® Notes?Yes. Many Post-it® products support full-colour printing, allowing logos, illustrations, photographs and detailed branding elements to be incorporated into the design.
Do people actually keep and use branded Post-it® Notes?One reason Post-it® products remain popular is that they are designed to be consumed gradually over time. A Note Cube, note pad or Page Marker set may remain on a desk for weeks or months, creating repeated exposure to the branding.
Sales Tip: Match the format to the taskA tip from Molly on our sales team:
Businesses sometimes focus on note size and overlook how the product will actually be used. Page Markers, Note Cubes, Super Sticky Notes and shaped notes are all designed for different purposes, so understanding the intended application usually leads to a better result.
