These Note Pads are made of high quality 70# bright white smooth bond paper. The paper is much thicker than any other scratch pad on the market. They have many uses such as home, school, or the office and are a convenient way to make quick notes or lists anywhere you are. I always have a writing pad at my desk, kitchen and in the car. They fit nicely in your purse, suit, briefcase, or backpack for those on the go. You can also use a standard size memo holder for your memo pads. They are glued at the top for easy removal of individual sheets. They come in four convenient sizes, 3 x 5, 4 x 6, 4.25 x 5.5, and 5.5 x 8.5 to fit all your needs. In this day and age of cell phones you type it in and rarely will you ever see it again. When using the writing pad you have something physical in front of you to pin up or carry with you. They are made in the USA by Perfect Impressions, a family run business.
