Custom notepads come in A5 (148 × 210 mm) or A4 (210 × 297 mm). Choose 80gsm paper for up to 100 sheets or thicker 120gsm for up to 50 sheets.
📏 Size
- A5 balances writing room with portability: meetings, bags, welcome packs, retail.
- A4 gives more space for forms, worksheets, diagrams and detailed planning.
- Design at the final size instead of shrinking an A4 layout afterwards.
- A bespoke size between A5 and A4 is billed at the A4 rate. See A6 and bespoke notepad dimensions.
📄 Paper and sheet capacity
| Paper | Maximum sheets | Best for |
|---|
| Regular 80gsm | 100 | Economical everyday pads and higher sheet counts |
| Thicker 120gsm | 50 | A thicker writing surface with less show-through |
📝 Note: the number of pages in your PDF must match the number of sheets you select. A 30-sheet pad needs a 30-page PDF. The pages do not need to be identical, and we print them as supplied.
