Top-Glued, Covered, Wire-Bound and Magnetic Notepads

Choose the construction by how the pad will be used: sheets that tear away, pages that stay attached, or a pad that sticks to a metal surface.

🔨 The four constructions

Type	How it works	Best for
Top-glued (default)	Glued along the short top edge, sheets tear off cleanly	Memo pads, forms, checklists, order pads
Covered	A printed cover protects the pad and adds a second branded surface	Presentation, gifting, exam pads
Wire-bound flip pad	Black or white wire keeps sheets attached and lets them turn over the top, like a top-bound notebook	Notebook-style pads that must stay together
Magnetic (A5)	Magnetic backing for fridges and metal surfaces, for pads of up to 50 sheets	Shopping lists, reminders, hospitality promotions

⚠️ Warning: not every combination is offered. Use the selectors on the product page to confirm what is available for your size and quantity.

💡 Tips

Want a notebook-style pad that opens over the top? Choose wire-bound. For a pad with many pages and a spine on the side, see custom notebook printing.
Glued pads need 1 to 2 extra days for the glue to dry.

❓ Frequently asked questions

Can a pad be bound on the short edge?

Standard pads are glued at the top. Choosing the wire-bound option gives a top-bound wire pad.

Do magnetic pads work for every size?

The magnetic option is for A5 pads of up to 50 sheets.
