Tear-Away Notepads: Are They the Right Choice for Your Business?

Tear-away notepads might not be flashy, but they’re one of the hardest-working promotional products around — and one of the most reordered items at Cubic Promote. Whether you’re running training sessions, hosting events, or simply looking to keep your logo visible on client desks, these pads do the job at a low cost. Additionally, we use FSC-certified paper, so you can feel confident in your choice, knowing it comes from responsibly managed forests. Paper is also recyclable, making it one of the most eco-friendly options for promotional stationery.

So, are tear-away notepads the right fit for your campaign? Let’s weigh the pros and cons.

Pros & Cons at a Glance

Why Organisations Keep Choosing Them

Even with their limitations, tear-away notepads remain a favourite because they’re simple, practical, and effective. They keep your brand visible where decisions happen — desks, meeting rooms, and training spaces. They’re also perfect for onboarding packs, workshop kits, and post-visit leave-behinds for service-based businesses.

Pairing them with branded pens is a great way to increase perceived value without blowing the budget. Together, they create a practical set that staff, students, or clients are guaranteed to use.

Smart Buying Tips

• Choose a Clean Design: A small logo in the header or footer keeps the page functional while still promoting your brand.

or

• Choose a BIG design that goes onto the whole page as a “Watermark” where a person can write on top of it.
• Order in Bulk: Larger orders reduce the per-unit cost dramatically — ideal for businesses with multiple locations or frequent events.
• Pick Sustainable Options: Ask for FSC-certified pads (our default) and include a recycling message to align with eco-friendly policies.
• Consider Full-Colour Branding: For campaigns and launches, use bright, eye-catching designs to make your pads stand out.
• Plan for Reorders: Because notepads are consumable, factor in repeat orders so you don’t run out before your next campaign.
