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, quick notes, and compact desk pads. Choose 5.5" × 8.5" for everyday office use, meetings, welcome kits, and general note taking. Choose 8.5" × 11" when you need more room for forms, planning sheets, checklists, or detailed notes.

Which binding edge should I choose?

Top binding is the most common choice because pages tear away like a traditional notepad. Left or right binding can work well for desk use or layouts designed around a side-bound format. Bottom binding is less common but may be useful for specialized applications or personal preference.

How many sheets are in each notepad?

Each custom notepad contains 25 sheets. The 25-sheet format works well for promotional giveaways, welcome kits, client meetings, event handouts, office use, and everyday note taking without making the finished pad unnecessarily bulky.

Can notepads be printed on both sides?

Standard notepads are printed on one side of each sheet. If your project requires printing on both sides, request a custom quote and we can discuss the best production option for your application.

What paper is used for the notepad sheets?

The notepad sheets are printed on 70 lb. uncoated text paper. The uncoated surface provides a smooth writing surface for pens and pencils and has a more substantial feel than standard copy paper.

Does each notepad include a chipboard backing?

Yes. Each 25-sheet notepad includes a sturdy chipboard backing that helps support the pad and provides a firmer writing surface at a desk, meeting, job site, event, or while taking notes on the go.

What file format should I use for notepad printing?

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

Can I see a proof before my notepads are printed?

Yes. After uploading your artwork and adding your notepads to the shopping cart, you can download a low-resolution PDF proof before proceeding to checkout. Use the proof to review artwork placement, sizing, orientation, and overall appearance. Carefully check spelling, contact information, logos, and other important details before completing your order. If Bellia’s in-house design team creates or prepares your notepad artwork, we’ll provide a design proof for your approval before it goes to print.

Can you help with my notepad artwork?

Yes. Bellia’s in-house graphic design team can create a custom notepad from scratch or adapt your existing logo, branding, contact information, forms, checklists, or other content into a professional print-ready layout.
