Custom Notepad Printing in South Jersey

A branded notepad does something most promotional items don't — it gets used. Every time someone writes a note, phone number, reminder, or idea, your logo and contact information are right there. Notepads stay on desks, travel in bags, and show up in meetings, giving your brand repeated exposure with zero extra effort.

Bellia prints custom notepads on smooth 70 lb. paper with a cardboard back for support. Choose your size, glued edge, and whether you want full color or black and white printing. Every notepad includes 25 sheets.

Based in Woodbury, NJ, Bellia has been printing for South Jersey businesses since 1973.

CUSTOMER QUESTIONS

Custom Notepads — Frequently Asked Questions

Which notepad size should I choose?

Choose 4.25" × 5.5" for promotional giveaways and quick notes, 5.5" × 8.5" for everyday office use and meetings, or 8.5" × 11" when you need more room for forms, planning sheets, or detailed notes.

Which glued edge should I choose?

Top binding is the most popular because pages tear away like a traditional notepad. Left or right binding works well if the pad will stay on a desk and be written in like a notebook. Bottom binding is less common but can be useful for specialized applications or personal preference.

How many sheets are included in each notepad?

Every custom notepad includes 25 sheets. This lightweight page count works well for promotional giveaways, welcome kits, client meetings, event handouts, office use, and everyday note taking.

Can I print on both sides of each sheet?

Standard notepads are printed on one side only. If your project requires printing on both sides, contact us and we’ll discuss the best solution for your application.

What paper is used?

Our notepads are printed on 70 lb. uncoated text paper. It provides a smooth writing surface, works well with pens and pencils, and is slightly heavier than standard copy paper for a more professional feel.

Does every pad come with a cardboard back?

Yes. Every custom notepad includes a sturdy chipboard backing that provides a firm writing surface whether you’re at a desk, on a job site, or taking notes on the go.

What file format should I upload?

Submit a print-ready PDF in CMYK color mode at the final printed size. Before submitting your order, carefully review your artwork, spelling, layout, and sizing to make sure everything is correct.

Can Bellia design my notepad for me?

Absolutely. Our in-house design team can create a custom notepad from scratch or adapt your existing logo and branding into a professional layout that’s ready for print. Learn more about our design services.
