Which paper is best for writing on notepads?

The 60#–80# uncoated text stocks all take pen and pencil cleanly — 60# is the everyday standard, and the heavier weights reduce show-through. Choose 80# silk only when the printed design matters more than writability, since coated surfaces are slower to absorb ink.

Can notepads be printed with a form or checklist layout?

Yes — lines, checkboxes, tables, and numbered fields print exactly as they appear in your file, on every sheet of every pad. Two-sided printing lets you put instructions or terms on the reverse of each sheet.

What is the minimum notepad order?

The minimum order is 25 pads, with runs up to 5,000. Short runs work well for testing a layout or covering a single event before committing to a bulk reorder.

Should I print notepads in color or black only?

One-color black is the default and the budget pick — most notepad designs are a logo, rule lines, and a contact block, which read perfectly in black. Choose full color when the pad doubles as a brand piece, and pair it with 80# silk text so the color sits crisp on the sheet.
