Product Descriptions

Linered Post-it® Notes for Labelers

Linered Post-it® Notes for Labelers are available in either rolls (12" or 20" outside diameter rolls on a 3" inside diameter core) or fan-folded boxes. The notes are on a removable, recyclable liner and can be applied with any conventional pressure sensitive labeling equipment. Post-it® Notes are affixed to the printed media and the liner is simultaneously removed and rewound. Note placement is typically adjustable in both lateral and longitudinal for flexibility and accuracy in placement.

Linerless Post-it® Notes

Linerless Post-it® Notes are available in a 20" outside diameter on a 3" inside diameter core. This product must be applied with equipment designed to automatically cut or burst the note and apply it directly to the printed media. This may be the most economical option for printers or publishers applying a high volume of Post-it® Notes on a regular basis. Machines are available for off-line, on-line, as well as on-press application. Note placement is typically adjustable in both lateral and longitudinal for flexibility and accuracy in placement.
