Post-it® Small Special Shaped Notes

Post-it® Small Special Shaped Notes carry the brand's design on a note that is the shape itself. Not a logo printed on a corner of a rectangular pad. The pad is cut to the shape, and every note peeled from it is a small, self-adhesive piece in that form. A heart, an arrow, a circle, a slanted square, a U-shape. Each brings a distinct visual identity to the note that no rectangular pad can replicate. The notes are die-cut from a compact 2¾ by 3 inch pad, digitally printed with the brand's logo and design across the note face, and produced in the Post-it® format with the self-adhesive that offices and desks already reach for. From 500 units. Recycled paper and premium paper options are both available as upgrades.

Included in a delegate bag, a welcome kit, or a gift hamper, a shaped Post-it® note reads as distinctive from the first moment the bag is opened. Its shape makes it immediately noticeable alongside a pen and a rectangular note pad.

Choosing a shape that connects to the brand's sector adds a second layer of meaning. An arrow from a courier or logistics brand, a heart from a pharmaceutical or health company, a circle from a design studio. The shape primes the association before the pad is used.

Buyer Scenarios

Who orders these shaped pads and what do they use them for?

Healthcare and wellness brands ordering heart-shaped pads to distribute to staff, patients, or event delegates as a branded desk item that connects the shape to the brand's care-focused positioning. Professional services firms ordering arrow or slanted-square pads for a direct mail campaign to prospective clients where a distinctive branded item needs to stand out in an envelope. Marketing and creative agencies including shaped pads in branded merchandise kits or agency promotional gifts. Conference and event organisers adding a shaped pad to a delegate bag alongside a branded pen as the desk stationery item. Retailers and hospitality brands distributing shaped note pads as a loyalty or thank-you gift where the Post-it® format adds recognised practical value.

Do shaped pads work well in a conference delegate pack?

Yes, the compact size of the shaped pad makes it well suited to inclusion in a delegate pack, a conference bag, or a branded stationery kit. Its small footprint means it fits comfortably alongside a pen and other items without dominating the bag. The Post-it® brand recognition adds perceived value to the inclusion, and the shaped die-cut makes the pad more visually distinctive than a plain rectangular pad from a third-party supplier. For a conference where the branding needs to be consistent across all delegate items, coordinating the design across the shaped pad and any other branded stationery in the pack gives the kit a cohesive look.

Is the shaped pad suitable as a standalone gift or does it work better as part of a set?

Both options work. A shaped Post-it® pad is lightweight, compact, and practical enough to work as a standalone gift at a trade show, a reception desk, or a point-of-sale display. As part of a set, it adds a shaped and distinctive note pad to what might otherwise be a predictable pen-and-rectangular-pad combination. For a standalone gift to a professional audience, the Post-it® brand recognition does significant work. The person who receives it knows what it is and how useful it will be.

Does the paper type affect how the print looks on the shaped notes?

Yes, the paper type is worth confirming before placing an artwork-heavy order. The recycled paper option has a slightly different surface texture from the original stock, which can affect how the digital print appears on the note. Colours may appear slightly less vivid on recycled stock than on the original or premium paper stock. For a campaign where the brand's design relies on accurate colour reproduction or fine print detail, confirming the print result on the specific paper type with the supplier before committing to the full order is the right step.
