Sticky Notes
Sticky notes, also known as Post-it Notes, are small pieces of paper with a light adhesive on the back, designed for temporary attachment to surfaces.
Material
Typically constructed from paper with a repositionable adhesive backing. The adhesive is generally an acrylic-based pressure-sensitive adhesive, formulated to adhere without leaving residue upon removal. Paper weight varies, with common options ranging from 70 to 90 gsm. Some variations utilize neon or fluorescent paper for increased visibility.
Purpose
The primary purpose of sticky notes is to provide a convenient method for short-term reminders, annotations, and organization. They facilitate brainstorming, note-taking, and visual cues.
Function
The repositionable adhesive allows for multiple applications and removals without damaging the adhered surface. This functionality enables users to easily rearrange notes, create temporary charts, or mark pages in books or documents. The small size promotes concise messaging and portability.
Usage Scenarios

- Larger Sizes: Available in 3 x 3 inches (76 x 76 mm) and larger for more extensive notes.
- Different Colors: Offered in a wide range of colors for color-coding and visual organization.
- Shapes: Beyond the standard square, available in arrow shapes, flags, and other forms.
- Super Sticky Notes: Featuring a stronger adhesive for more demanding surfaces or longer-term adhesion.
- Pop-up Notes: Dispensed in a pop-up container for easy access.
- Transparent Notes: Allowing for visibility of underlying text or images.
- Digital Sticky Notes: Software applications replicating the functionality of physical sticky notes on electronic devices.
