Post-it Notes

Post-it Notes have a 1" adhesive strip on the top section and they are removable and repositionable. You can have anything printed on your Post-it Notes. The text can be printed with any font, including handwritten fonts, or graphics. 

Color setting on your Note

The text on your Post-it Note will be printed in the same text color settings that your mail piece  is being printed in. For instance, if your Post-it Note is being placed on a:

• B&W letter: Your Post-it Note can only have black printing on it. If you want color printing on your Post-it Note then you will need to change the text of your letter to full color printing.
• Full color letter:  If the text of the letter is being printed in color then the text on your Post-it Note can be printed in color or B&W.

Mail merging on your Note

You can have mail merge information on your Post-it Note if the note is being placed on a mailer that includes mail merging as an option. For instance, your note can say "Hi Joe, I think you'll need to read this".  If your note is being placed on a mailer that does not include mail merging, then your note must be generic as well. Therefore, if you place notes on generic (non changing) letters; your note must be generic too. For instance, your note will say "Hi, I think this will help you". If you need to have the note include mail merged information, then you will need to change your mailer to include "mail merging". This change will allow you to have notes that are uniquely addressed to be placed on generic or mail merged mailers.

Requirement for printing & placement of Post-it Notes

• You must have a 1/8" clear margin (no printing) around the note - all four sides. Therefore, the printable area on the Note is 2.75"x2.75".
• Notes must be placed at least 0.25" away from the edge of the paper, any of the four edges.
• We are accurate on Note placement, but there could be a +/-0.25" shift in placement in any 4 directions. So please have at least 0.25" clear zone on all four directions of the Note. Since the Note is 3"x3", you need a total clear space of 3.5"x3.5" on your mail piece, including the clear zone.
• You cannot have any printing underneath the Notes.
• Notes can not fall into fold lines. This could cause the note to become loose once the piece is folded. Therefore, your note must be at least 0.25" away from either side of a fold line or the edge of the paper. See template below:
  • 8.5x11 being tri-folded
  • 8.5x11 being half folded

How to setup artwork with Notes

The setup requirements are the same as a regular job. You simply need to indicate with a 3.5" x 3.5" square on your artwork the position of the note and include the text on the square including all mail merge fields.
