Magnetic Notepads

What Is a Magnetic Notepad?

A magnetic notepad is a pad of tear-off paper sheets bonded to a flexible magnet on the back, so it holds on any steel surface like a fridge or filing cabinet. At 4OVER4 each pad carries 25 sheets on 70# uncoated text, prints full color or black on the front, and comes in 3 sizes from 4" x 5" to 3.5" x 8.5".

Picture the notepad that already lives on a fridge, the one people scribble the grocery list on. Now put your logo across the top of every sheet. That is a magnetic notepad: 25 tear-off sheets on a writable 70# uncoated stock, backed by a thin magnet that grips any steel door, fridge, or cabinet. Someone tears off a sheet, writes a note, and your name sits in their kitchen the whole time. It is a business card that refuses to leave the house. If you want a wipe-clean writing surface instead of tear-off sheets, the Dry Erase Magnets do that job, and the plain Standard Magnets cover single-piece fridge magnets.

What Sizes Do Magnetic Notepads Come In?

4OVER4 magnetic notepads come in 3 sizes: 4" x 5", 4" x 8", and 3.5" x 8.5", with 4" x 5" as the default. You can also set a custom size up to 4" x 9". The taller 4" x 8" and 3.5" x 8.5" pads suit long lists, while the 4" x 5" is the classic fridge size.

Three shapes cover the job. The 4" x 5" is the default, the familiar fridge-note size that fits a short list or a phone number. Step up to the 4" x 8" or the slim 3.5" x 8.5" when you want room for a full to-do list, a weekly menu, or a contact block down the side. Need something a touch taller? Set a custom size up to 4" x 9" in the configurator. The price follows the size you pick, and every size still ships with the same 25 sheets and magnetic back. All 3 sizes and both ink options are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it.

The three sizes are three different jobs. The 4" x 5" is the fridge pad, small enough to share door space with a photo and a clip. The two tall cuts, 4" x 8" and 3.5" x 8.5", hold a full grocery list down the sheet and leave a deeper band at the top for a logo, a name and a phone number, which is why the tall sizes are the ones most agents and trades order.

What Paper and Printing Options Can You Choose?

Magnetic notepads print on a single stock, 70# uncoated text, chosen because it takes pen and pencil cleanly. The front prints either 1/0 black ink or 4/0 full color, and the back stays blank because that is where the magnet sits. Each pad is bound as 25 tear-off sheets, and print-ready files upload as PDF, JPG, or PNG.

The stock is 70# uncoated text, and that is the point: uncoated paper holds ink from a ballpoint, gel pen, or pencil without smearing, so the pad actually works as a pad. You print the front two ways, straight black at 1/0 for a clean, low-cost look, or full color at 4/0 when the logo and design need to pop. The back stays blank, since the flexible magnet is bonded there. Every pad ships as 25 bound sheets that tear off one at a time, and you can send your artwork as a PDF, JPG, or PNG.

Designing the header so it survives the tear off

Each pad is bound along the top edge, and that bound strip is the part of every sheet that stays behind when the sheet comes off. Everything below the tear line leaves with the note. So the brand block belongs at the top, above the line: name, phone number, web address. Put them at the foot of the sheet and they walk out of the house on a grocery list, and the pad on the fridge goes anonymous halfway through the year.

Give that header enough depth to be read from across a kitchen, at arm's length, by someone who is not looking for it. Then leave the rest of the sheet alone. Twenty five sheets come off one at a time over months, so the same person sees that header roughly twenty five times, which is the entire argument for a notepad over a flyer. A thin rule or a light tint band under the header separates the branding from the writing area without crowding it, and keeping the writing area open is what keeps the pad useful, which is what keeps it on the fridge.

How Much Do Magnetic Notepads Cost?

Magnetic notepads start at $93.37 for 25 pads, about $3.73 each, and the per-pad price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 5,000, so a cheaper pad really comes down to how big a run you order. Order more and the math gets friendlier fast: 200 pads run $329.52, 500 run $724.92, and 2,500 run $3,432.43. At 5,000 pads the total is $5,491.89, roughly $1.10 a pad, less than a third of the starting rate. There are 20 quantity tiers in all. So how many do you actually need? Drag the slider below to set your count and watch both the set total and the true per-pad cost update live, and find the point where one more step up barely moves the budget.

How Fast Can You Get Magnetic Notepads Printed?

Magnetic notepads print on a standard 7 business day turnaround, and when a date sneaks up you can step it up through 6, 5, 4, and 3 days, all the way to a 2 business day rush. You pick the speed in one dropdown and pay for it only when you actually need it. Before anything prints, choose how you want to proof: go straight to production to save a step, approve a free online proof on screen, or order a next-day hardcopy proof to check the real thing in hand. 4OVER4 has shipped 99.8% of orders on time since 1999, with 82% going out early, so the date you pick is the date you get.

What Are Magnetic Notepads Used For?

Magnetic notepads work as fridge marketing for real estate agents, restaurants, contractors, insurance offices, and any local business that wants to stay visible at home. Because the pad sticks to the fridge and gets used daily, the brand stays in view for months, and each of the 25 sheets carries the logo or contact details.

This is the magnet that earns its keep. A real estate agent hands one over and their number lives on the client's fridge through the whole search. A pizza shop drops one in the delivery bag and becomes the default takeout number. Contractors, dentists, insurance agents, and property managers use them the same way, because a notepad people actually write on does not get thrown out. Print your logo and number across every sheet, add a full-color header, and a 25-sheet pad keeps working long after a flyer would have hit the recycling. For a handout that fits a wallet instead of a fridge, the Business Card Magnets are the pocket-sized version of the same idea.

Who orders magnetic notepads

Real estate agents. The pad goes into a listing packet, a closing gift or a door drop, and the header carries the agent's photo, direct line and brokerage. It is a long game piece: the seller who calls in two years found the number on the fridge, not in an inbox.

Insurance agents. Renewals are annual, so the point is being visible in the eleven months nothing happens. The header usually carries the agent name, the office line and a claims number, since the claims number is the one a household needs on a bad day and never has to hand.

Home service trades. Plumbers, HVAC, electricians, pest control and garage door companies live on emergency calls, and an emergency call goes to whoever is visible in the kitchen. The header runs the trade, the service area and one phone number set large. Some add a service due date line so the pad doubles as a reminder.

Clinics and practices. Dentists, vets, optometrists and family practices use the pad as an appointment anchor: practice name, address, booking line, and often a blank line for the next appointment. It sticks to a fridge or to a filing cabinet at the front desk, so both sides of the relationship carry it.

Schools and PTAs. Term calendars, the office number and the absence line belong on a surface a parent already checks daily. Fundraising groups run the same pad with a sponsor block in the header, which pays for the print run before it ships.

How Do Magnetic Notepads Compare to the Other Magnets?

Magnetic notepads are the pick when you want print that gets used and kept every day, but they are not your only move. A notepad costs more up front than a single magnet because each one is a full 25-sheet pad, so it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The chart below lines up magnetic notepads against their closest siblings so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.
