Canadian customers looking for a good deal for note pad printing online tend to have very limited options. In fact, if you enter “custom note pad printing Canada” or something to that effect in your browser search bar, you will find multiple results that are almost all identical: standard sizes, one paper choice, colour or black and white, and either 25 or 50 pages per pad. Most often, there are fixed volumes. Pads can be ordered in quantities of 25, 50, 100, 250, for example. Some offer double sided printing for the pages.
The experience is basically the same for all of them, except for ours. Laser Sharp Printing gives customers incredible freedom to customize their note pads in every way. Read more to find out why Laser Sharp is Canada’s best choice for custom note pad printing.
What is a note pad?
In printing, the term “note pad” or “notepad” is typically used for a collection of multiple copies of a printed form glued with a flexible glue along one side and supported with a cardstock back. The special glue allows for the top sheet to be easily removed from the pad.
Common uses for the notepad format are prescription forms, physician and specialist referrals, waivers, appointment reminders, and receipts.
Why having order flexibility matters to Canadian businesses
Sure, the typical online print shop ordering process is simple. It is relatively easy to shop and compare prices when all of the online print shops are essentially offering the same product. But this one size fits all approach gives customers very little choice to fully customize their note pad order around budget, use case, or the overall look and feel.
Laser Sharp Printing & Signs has addressed all of these in offering a notepad product with all of the same benefits found in other print shops, but with tons more choices. This allows you, the customer, to fine tune your order and get exactly what you need, no more and no less.

Laser Sharp note pad printing is the best choice for Canadian businesses
Best notepads for order flexibility
You choose the quantity of pads, number of pages for each, paper and print colour to create exactly the pad that suits the need of your business. Custom sizes can also be accommodated, if you like – just ask.
Best print options for budget-minded consumers
Our online instant quote allows you to play with the various options to suit your notepad budget. To keep costs down, you may opt for a smaller size, black and white print on one side only, and 20lb pages.
You can also adjust the quantity you order or the number of pages in each pad to adjust the pricing and tweak the product to fit its intended use. Even adjusting the double sided print to black and white on the back can make a difference.
At Laser Sharp Printing, you don’t have to reach a particular order quantity to get a price break per unit. Ours is applied to each pad you add. The same is true for the number of pages. The more pages you have for each pad, the less you pay per page, and the more pads you order, the less you pay per pad.
Remember the free shipping for orders over $99 CAD to save even more. The price you see, is what you will pay. Only taxes and rush service fees are added to your cart.
Best note pads for promoting your business
When you hand a referral or any business form to a patient or client, you want it to contribute to the sense of reliability and quality that they can expect from your business. Printing your notepads on a heavier paper, placing a map to your office on the back of each form, and using colour can strengthen your branding and help build that trust.
When all of the other forms have a basic look and feel, yours can stand out.
What about price?
A quick online search makes comparing prices relatively easy, but by now you may have already discovered that the final total cost of your note pad order is not always as simple as that.
You can compare Laser Sharp pricing to competitors, adjusting the number of pads, pages, and papers to match their limited options. You may find that for that restricted product, their price is better (don’t forget the shipping!). Or not. But for value, Laser Sharp’s note pads are in a league of their own. Finding another online print shop with as many options available may prove to be a much tougher challenge.
