Custom Post-it® Note Printing for Advertising

Sticky Flyer Advertising has specialized in custom Post-it® note printing for advertising campaigns since 2015. Every order is printed on authentic Post-it® Note paper—full color on white stock, or black ink on canary yellow and pink stock—with free FedEx Ground shipping to the continental United States and a digital proof before production begins.

Orders start at $96 for 800 notes. Production takes 3–5 business days after proof approval.

Can I print custom sticky notes for promotional use? Yes. Sticky Flyer Advertising specializes exclusively in custom Post-it® note printing for advertising and promotional campaigns. Unlike DIY printing on retail Post-it® pads, professional printing produces full-color, edge-to-edge designs with consistent quality across every note in the order, printed in the USA, with a digital proof for approval before production begins.

What Is Post-it® Note Printing for Advertising?

Custom Post-it® note printing produces branded adhesive notes used as direct marketing materials — placed on doors, car windows, pizza boxes, trash bins, mailboxes, and any clean surface to deliver advertising messages directly to potential customers.

Unlike business cards or postcards that sit in a pile, a custom Post-it® note adheres to a surface and travels into the home with the recipient. It ends up on the refrigerator, the desk, or the dashboard — staying visible for 3–7 days from a single placement. According to USPS research, direct mail delivers a 91% open rate compared to 20–30% for email — and Post-it® note advertising delivers all the advantages of physical direct mail with the added benefit of repositionable adhesive.

At $0.03–$0.19 per note including free shipping, custom Post-it® note printing is one of the lowest cost-per-contact advertising formats available to local businesses.

Colored Paper with Black Ink

Black ink printing on authentic yellow or pink Post-it® Note stock. The most affordable option, ideal for simple text-and-logo designs, budget-conscious campaigns, and businesses where brand colors match yellow or pink stock. The original Post-it® canary yellow color was chosen by chance from scrap paper available in the 3M lab and remains one of the most recognizable colors in office products worldwide.

Yellow notes are particularly effective for bin lid advertising and windshield placement — high contrast in outdoor light. Pink notes stand out on dark-colored surfaces and photograph well for social media before-and-after posts.

The History of Post-it® Note Advertising

Sticky Flyer Advertising has been around for more than 20 years. It was originally created for newspaper application. Clients could pay to have their advertisement printed on a Post-it® note placed on the front page of their local newspaper. Readers would open the paper and find a branded adhesive note right on the front page, impossible to miss. Newspaper sticky note advertising is still available today.

Over time, marketers discovered that the same repositionable adhesive that worked on newspapers worked on virtually any surface, and the creative applications multiplied. Some of the most effective uses our customers have discovered include:

• Bicycle advertising — placing sticky notes on bicycles parked outside to advertise a local sports shop or fitness studio
• Pizza box toppers — partnering with local restaurants to place your ad on every to-go box that leaves the kitchen
• Mailbox placement — placing notes on mailboxes throughout a target neighborhood for hyper-local brand awareness
• Trash bin lid advertising — placing trash bin cleaning notes on bin lids on the morning after pickup day, when homeowners are already thinking about their bins
• Promotional note pads — ordering branded sticky note pads as a leave-behind marketing tool for clients and prospects

The beauty of sticky note advertising is that you don’t have to pick just one placement. The authentic 3M Post-it® adhesive is gentle and strong enough to place on almost any surface without damaging it or losing stickiness. Order one campaign and distribute across doors, bins, car windows, and boxes simultaneously.
