Fun & functional

From jotting down quick notes to handing out branded giveaways, a personalized notepad puts your business logo and branding on everyday writing. Use them for new employee kits, client gifts, trade show giveaways or to keep your team's notes on-brand. With our professional templates made for multiple industries, you can find a unique style for lined, grid, calendar and open-ended layouts, or you can upload your own print-ready design.

Sizes & options that fit your workflow

With 4 sizes to choose from – 3.8" x 7.8", 4" x 5.5", 5.5" x 8.5" and 8.5" x 11" – you can add a favorite quote, logo or anything else that makes it yours. All notepads are top-bound and printed on 5.3pt paper. Our smaller notepads can be finished with either a sturdy 24-28pt thick cardboard reserve backing for desks and flat surfaces, or an additional magnetic back that's great for fridges and filing cabinets. So whether you need a compact agenda for the fridge or a full-size legal pad for the office, there's an option for you. Just keep in mind that, because of its size, the 8.5" x 11" notepad comes with a cardboard reserve backing only and isn't available with a magnetic back.

Notebooks are great I just wish I knew the glue was yellow and not clear makes them look cheap
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
We’re glad to hear that you’re happy with the quality of the notebooks overall. We’re sorry, however, that the yellow adhesive was unexpected and affected the appearance of the notebooks for you. We understand how this can make the product look less polished than you anticipated. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will share your feedback with our Product and Quality teams as we continue looking for ways to improve the product experience and provide clearer information about product details.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Our fully customizable design templates include lined and unlined options.

Yes. Your notepad is printed on acid-free paper with a 5.3pt thickness (104 or 118 gsm). This resists bleed-through with most fountain pens, gel pens and acrylic markers.

Your design will be printed on white paper, but our full-colour printing lets you add any colours you want to the whole of your design. The back will remain white.

To pick the right reverse side for your custom notepad printing needs, consider where and how you want to use your notepads. If you intend to use the pad on the go, or while working at a desk, cardboard backing may be right for you. But if you want an easy display option for your fridge or filing cabinets, our magnetic backing could be just what you need. Please note, our magnetic backing is unavailable for our 8.5" x 11" notepads.

Yes, you can upload a finished design to use with your custom notepad.

Not at this time.

When it comes to colour choice, we recommend you think about how you’ll be using your personalized notepads – especially what you’ll use to write on them. A legal pad with predominantly dark colours may not be a good choice if you plan to write with a black pen, but a great option if you intend to use a silver marker. And if you’re creating custom notepads for business use, don’t hesitate to use your business colours and add a logo – those details often get noticed by customers or employees.

The right size depends on how your notepad will be used:

  • 3.8" x 7.8" – A compact, slim option that fits easily in a pocket or bag. Great for real estate agents jotting notes or quick reminders on the go.
  • 4" x 5.5" – A classic small notepad size, perfect for to-do lists, phone messages or corporate swag and giveaways.
  • 5.5" x 8.5" – A versatile mid-size option that works well for schools (class handouts, worksheets or student planners) and medical offices (patient instructions, appointment reminders or prescription notes).
  • 8.5" x 11" – Full letter size, best for detailed note-taking, meeting agendas or corporate use where more writing space is needed for things like internal memos, project outlines or client-facing documents.
