Special Shapes

Special shape sticky notes pair a standard pad of sticky notes with a holder cut into a distinctive outline, such as a house, a building or another themed design. The notes inside are a familiar square format, so there is plenty of room for messages and reminders, while the shaped holder carries your logo and gives the product its personality on the desk. Because the holder stays in place long after the first few sheets are used, the branding remains visible for as long as the pad is in use. For buyers who want the note itself cut into a shape, Custom Shaped Sticky Notes can be die cut to almost any outline up to 75mm x 75mm, and Post-it® Medium Special Shaped Notes offer a wide choice of genuine 3M shapes.

In practical use, the outline of the holder is what people notice first, especially on a busy desk or reception counter where several items compete for attention. A house shaped holder suits real estate agents and builders, while other outlines can be matched to an industry, a product or a campaign theme.

Branding is applied to the face of the holder, with full colour print allowing detailed logos, contact details and brand colours to be reproduced clearly. This makes shaped sticky note holders a practical promotional item for client gifts, open homes, trade shows and office welcome packs.

Common Questions

Are the sticky notes themselves shaped?
No. In this range the holder is cut into the shape and the sticky notes inside are a standard square pad. If you need the notes themselves cut into a shape, our Custom Shaped Sticky Notes are die cut to your outline, up to 75mm x 75mm.

Where is the logo printed?
Your logo is printed on the face of the shaped holder, which stays on the desk while the notes are used. This keeps your brand in view for as long as the product is in use.

Which businesses choose shaped holders?
Real estate agencies, builders and property developers often choose house shapes, while other outlines suit trade shows, conferences and industry events where a themed design helps the product stand out.

Why choose a shaped holder over a standard pad?
A shaped holder gives a standard sticky note pad a more distinctive presence on the desk. It is more likely to be kept and displayed than a plain pad, which means more exposure for your brand over time.
