More About Post-it Notes

Sticky notes are a pad of paper with an adhesive strip on the back of each sheet, the individual sheets can then be reattached to various surfaces i.e. desks, books, notice boards etc. It is one of the most popular stationery products worldwide. Sticky notes were first developed by 3M and released on the market in late 70’s. 3M owns the trademark for “Post-it” which over the years has become a common term used to describe sticky notes also made by other manufacturers. 

• The most popular type of sticky notes is canary yellow colour square sheets which are 76x76mm (3x3 inches). This was actually the first type of Post-it notes that went for sale and ever since its first release it has become a standard size and colour for other companies which started manufacturing sticky notes after the patent has expired in the 90’s. Sticky notes have evolved in the last few years and yellow square pads aren’t the only option. 

• Nowadays sticky notes are available in a choice of colours including all time classic yellow notes and other colours which are good to contrast the handwriting that you apply on them. The choice of sticky notes colours include assorted, rainbow, blue, pink, pastel, neon, green, red, orange and white. Also the selection of sizes has expanded and sticky notes are available in square and rectangular shapes which come in various dimensions. You can also find some non-standard shape sticky notes such as arrows, hearts or speech bubble. Sticky notes are also available as index flags, index arrows and repositionable tabs. 

• Standard sticky notes use an adhesive which is strong enough to be temporarily attached to smooth surfaces, files and documents. If you require more versatile sticky notes that can be adhered to practically any type of surface (one that isn’t smooth or is vertical) you should choose super sticky notes which use a stronger adhesive.
