Notes

Notes, also known as post-its, sticky notes or notepads, are sticky, reusable pieces of paper that are used for writing quick notes, reminders and planning. The simple notes are useful in a number of settings, such as at home in your bedroom or the kitchen, or in the office at your desk or on bulletin boards.

We supply a wide variety, in different colours, sizes, formats and pack sizes, so you can choose notes that will suit your needs. Stocked and ready to ship from our Dublin warehouse, you will receive your new notes in no time!

Choose from the different types of notes!

You will find many different types of notes right here! Notes come in various brands, dimensions, shapes and formats, so they are a tool that can be flexibly used. Each type of note serves a purpose, a specific task or environment, so with so many to choose from, you will find one that suits your purpose!

Below are some different types of notes and how they are useful:
 

Standard yellow notes	The original note! Canary yellow is the most distinctive colour for notes as they were this colour when first invented.
Coloured notes	Notes now come in all different colours, so you can easily organise tasks or information by colour! Colour coding can aid memory and make the notes more appealing!
Mini cubes	Mini note cubes, measuring 51mm x 51mm, are handy for short reminders and labels, without taking up too much space!
Extra sticky notes	The adhesive is more powerful on extra sticky notes, so your notes will hang on any surface, even difficult surfaces, for longer!
Recycled notes	Recycled notes are made with a percentage of recycled paper! They are the same, have similar adhesive functions and colours.
Lined notes	Lined notes are useful for when you need more structure in your notes. Write neatly and evenly!
Checked notes	Checked notes are ideal for when you need to do some quick graphs or calculations. Your notes will be more precise!
Meeting notes	Meeting notes are larger for group visibility. They allow for more detailed notes, ideas and diagrams. Perfect for sticking on whiteboards in meetings.
Z-notes	Z-notes are stacked in a zig-zag manner, making them easy to grab and use. This makes them handy when multitasking, such as writing a note while on the phone.
Indexes	Indexes are a handy type of note for marking pages in books or documents. They typically come in a small, rectangular shape and are often transparent so you can see the text underneath.
Static notes	Static notes use static electricity to hang instead of adhesive, so they never lose their stickiness! Your writing can be erased so they are reusable!

No matter what your needs are, there is a specific note type for you! All of the above notes are available to purchase here.

Notes are incredibly versatile and can be used in many ways!

Adhesive or sticky notes are popular due to how versatile and convenient they are! They can be stuck on nearly any surface, thanks to the self-adhesive layer, which also allows you to remove and reposition them without leaving any residue behind. Notes are a cost-effective option that do not take up a lot of space, making them ideal for various purposes.

Using notes at work or in a classroom

Notes are often used at work or in a classroom because they are visually engaging and encourage organisation and collaboration. They can be used at work during brainstorming sessions to create an ‘idea board’. This can help to organise thoughts and suggestions and prioritise. Being able to reposition the sticky notes means you can move them around if priorities change. Adhesive notes will stick to your desk, computer monitors and walls, so they can also be ideal to jot down quick reminders, deadlines or even a note to leave for your co-workers!

Similarly in a classroom, notes can be used to brainstorm ideas for essays, projects and presentations! Aside from this, they can promote interactive learning by asking students to write the answers to questions and sticking them on a whiteboard. This can help encourage active participation and collaboration between students.

Leaving notes around the house

Self-adhesive notes are perfect for leaving around the house because they are easy to spot and can stick to any surface without causing damage! They can be used for to-do lists, household chores, shopping lists, reminders for things to do outside of the home, words of encouragement, scheduling and even as cute messages to your family members. They are the ideal tool to use at home to ensure everyone is on the same page and tasks are not forgotten!

Sticky notes are great for studying!

Notes are a great tool to use while studying. For example, they can be used as flashcards to help memorise new vocabulary or formulas. Thanks to the adhesive layer on the back, you can then stick post-it notes in your textbook or copybook as a reminder of what you have just studied!

Create a Kanban board with notes!

Notes are often used for kanban boards! A kanban board is a visual tool that was designed to help manage personal tasks or work organisation. Using notes to represent the task at hand and columns labelled “to-do”, “in process”, “completed” (or similar), the sticky notes are moved from left to right as the task is completed. This helps to optimise workflow and can help identify where issues may be occurring.

Use notes in your Art and DIY projects

Notes have been used in art and DIY projects across the world because of their vibrant colours, versatility and the fact that they are inexpensive. They can be arranged in patterns for temporary decoration and can be used in collages, mood boards and so much more. They have become a popular medium for some artists because you can remove and rearrange them, allowing artists to test different ideas and layouts.

It is obvious why notes are so popular! They are a simple, yet powerful tool that can be used anywhere, by anyone.

Environmentally friendly options when writing notes

If we are using post-it notes and disposing of them soon after, we are probably generating quite a lot of waste. Thankfully, we do have some environmentally friendly options that will reduce the amount of waste created! Many brands now offer a range of adhesive notes made from recycled paper, which reduces deforestation and the demand for new resources. In fact, some brands even use plant-based adhesives on the back because they are gentler on the environment!

Static notes are also an environmentally friendly option as they tend to last longer than the traditional note. Since they don’t rely on adhesive to stick to surfaces, they can be reused and repositioned many times without losing their ability to stick. Many static notes are made from polypropylene, so you will be able to use whiteboard markers and erasers on them over and over again!

Make your notes stand out with different shapes!

If you are looking for ways to add fun to your organisation or make your post-it notes stand out more, choosing notes in different shapes is a great idea! Unique notes in the shapes of flowers, emojis, hearts, speech bubbles and stars can boost engagement, especially with kids and students, as they are more visually appealing. You may like to use different shapes for different tasks or purposes, which can help you identify the importance of each note. Notes in different shapes can be a great addition to everyone!
