Branded memo blocks – sizes, materials & options
Branded memo blocks usually consist of hundreds of glued paper sheets, printed with your logo on the top of each page and often around the sides of the block
Common Note Block options include:
Sizes: Popular memo block sizes range from mini blocks around 55x55mm, through 80x75mm and 85x85mm, up to larger 100x100mm or rectangular A6/A5-style blocks.
Sheet counts: Choose from approximately 250, 500, 750 or 1,000 sheets per memo block to match your budget and how long you want the gift to last.
Paper: Smooth white 80–90gsm paper is standard for easy writing; recycled paper options are also available for eco-conscious campaigns.
Print options:
- 1‑colour or 2‑colour logos for cost-effective branding
- Full-colour (CMYK) print on sheet tops and/or sides for maximum impact
- Optional printing on holders, bases, or pallet-style stands
- Special finishes: Mini wooden pallet bases, smart memo holders, or shaped blocks (e.g. wedges, houses) can turn a simple memo block into a desk feature.
Contact the team with your preferred memo block size, approximate quantity, and any artwork you have, and the image and layout can be checked to make sure it is fit for purpose before printing. We can also help design for you – just let us know what you’d like to see and a high res logo.
Why choose branded memo blocks?
Stays on the desk: Memo blocks sit in prime position on desks, counters, and reception areas, giving your brand daily exposure.
Clean branding: Large print areas on the top sheets and all four sides mean your logo and message are visible from every angle.
Flexible budgets: Adjust sheet count, size, and print style (single colour vs full colour) to suit your budget.
Practical and appreciated: Everyone needs somewhere to jot quick notes, phone messages, and reminders, making memo blocks a genuinely useful promotional item.
Smart extras: A mini wooden pallet base or branded holder adds an eye-catching twist and creates a more gift-like feel.
Frequently asked questions about memo blocks
What are branded memo blocks?
Branded memo blocks are cubes or rectangular stacks of glued paper note sheets printed with your logo, used as handy note pads that sit on desks and counters.
What sizes are available for memo blocks?
Common memo block sizes include small cubes around 55x55mm, mid-sized 80x75mm or 85x85mm, and larger 90x90mm or 100x100mm blocks, plus rectangular formats for more writing space.
How many sheets can a memo block contain?
Typical options are approximately 250 sheets (baby/mini blocks), 500 sheets (standard mini), 750 sheets (midi), or 1,000 sheets (maxi) per branded memo block.
Can memo blocks be printed in full colour?
Yes, memo blocks can be printed with 1‑colour, 2‑colour or full-colour designs on the top of each sheet, and often around the four sides of the block for maximum visibility.
Can you print on every sheet as well as the sides?
Most promotional memo blocks allow printing on each sheet plus the outer sides of the block, so your branding appears with every note written and from every angle on the desk.
Is recycled paper available for memo blocks?
Recycled and eco-friendly paper options are available, allowing you to combine practical desktop gifts with sustainable branding.
What is the mini wooden pallet memo block option?
Some memo blocks can be supplied sitting on a miniature wooden pallet base, creating a unique “pallet of paper” look that is particularly eye-catching on desks and reception counters.
Are memo blocks suitable as corporate gifts?
Yes, memo blocks are excellent corporate gifts and event giveaways, as they look substantial on a desk and provide long-term brand exposure with every sheet used.
How do I choose the right memo block for my budget?
To control cost, adjust the sheet count, block size, and number of print colours. Fewer sheets and 1‑colour print are budget-friendly, while larger blocks with full-colour print and pallet bases feel more premium.
