Defy The Regular Conventions Of Custom Notepads

Are your print notepads looking a bit common and boring? In a direct mail marketing campaign this is the usual danger after a very long run of notepad printing. The solution though to this problem is pretty straightforward. You just need to defy the regular conventions of notepad printing and create a more unusual and creative custom notepad. Here are the rules that you may want to bend a little bit to achieve this.

• Using uncommon sizes for notepads - One of the easiest rules you can defy in notepad printing are the printing sizes. Looking at most notepad printers, you will realize that most of them print notepads in several standard dimensions. You of course should know that those are just guidelines. You can actually go beyond these dimensions and go for uncommon sizes for your own custom notepads. You can print quite large notepads (as big as a letter-sized or legal sized paper) for special projects or you can print very small color notepads for promotional campaigns. There is actually no limit on size. So you should print notepads with the size that you really want.

• Customizing the shape of notepads - The shape of your color notepad is another thing that you can basically customize. Be aware however that it is far trickier and even more expensive with all the customization. Of course, this does not mean that it is impossible. It just means it might get hard. You will need an expert layout designer to produce differently shaped notepads and of course your notepad printing company should have the ability to cut notepads in odd angles and curves. If done right, you can really produce a notepad that is quite unique and eye catching.

• Adapting different printing materials for notepads - It is also quite possible to change the actual materials for notepad printing. You can throw away the rulebook in using conventional paper materials in your custom notepad. From normal printing paper you may opt to use glossy paper for that professional sheen. Other options include using thicker paper, recycled paper or even textured paper for a more interesting look. Many specialized notepad printers can actually do this for you. You just need to search online.

• More than just a writing material - Finally, you can actually change the whole nature of your notepad to be more than just writing materials. By printing special features like checklists, grids, special images and other prints, you can transform your simple notepad into a very useful medium. It can actually be a great product unto itself that people can find extra useful. For example, a notepad with its own checkboxes is quite useful at home when people list down grocery items to buy. There are plenty of extra feature ideas like this that can really make your notepad unique and memorable. Just try to use your imagination.

So as you can see, there are many ways to make your custom notepads less boring and more interesting. All you really need is to defy some common conventions in notepad printing to produce better looking and more useful notepads to use.
