Our Pressed Cotton fabrics are PFAS-free / do not contain PFAS “forever chemicals”. This fabric is made with the same machines that were used to make tent fabric. There is a light water resistant treatment. Cotton is a natural material so slubs and irregularity in the fibers are part of its character.
This 200-year-old technique involves tying small thread bundles, then dyeing and weaving them with expert precision. Careful calculation determines which parts of the threads are tied and dyed, while the weaver adjusts the fibers constantly to form patterns. Okamoto Shoten, a 3rd generation family business, connects the craftspeople necessary to create this fabric. They are based in Fukuoka (Northern Kyushu) where this technique is still practiced.
Everyone has their own way of using the Snap Pad. Choose from a variety of Snap Pad paper and accessories—Snap Calendar, Snap Pockets, and Fabric Tabs. We've seen people use these for habit tracking, file folders, menus, meeting notes, and tons of other purposes. The Snap Pad allows for functions to be discovered by the person using it.
Steno Paper
We came across stenographer paper and immediately liked the centerline for taking notes. It is quicker taking notes in a narrow column since you don't have to move your hand all the way from the far right back to the left side each time to start a new line. Stenographers' special abbreviated alphabets and tools are made to write at lightning speed to perfectly record a conversation as it unfolds. Steno paper also works well for To Do lists.
Snap Paper
Versatile paper with a texture that keeps the pen from slipping too easily and makes it an ideal writing surface to keep thoughts flowing. Suitable for writing or drawing. Page thickness prevents most show-through. This paper is ecologically made and chlorine free. Notebook pages are printed with Pin-graph, Postalco's original 1x1mm blue graph paper.
Snap Paper Plain
Cream color that is easy on your eyes. Versatile paper with a texture that keeps the pen from slipping too easily and makes it an ideal writing surface to keep thoughts flowing. Suitable for writing or drawing. This paper feels great with ballpoint pen, gel ink, pencil, and fountain pens. Page thickness prevents most show-through. No feathering. Paper made with pulp from managed forests.
Alkaline paper made to resist yellowing and aging.
Snap Memo Pad
A place to keep meeting notes together. This notebook snaps into the Snap Pad. It’s as flat as possible to leave space for the other pages. This unique construction allows notes to be made easily while inside the Snap Pad.
Snap Pocket
The asymmetrical flap is easy to open while secured in the Snap Pad. The flap can be tucked inside to form an open pocket or closed to keep your items safe. Tickets, postcards, business cards, invitations, feathers, receipts—keep them all here.
Fabric Tabs
An accent that adds organization. At work, with friends, or even by yourself, digging around trying to find something doesn't feel good. That is the beauty of a tab—one finger can take you to the exact thing you want. Tip: attach to a blank sheet to use in different locations. Can write on tabs with pen, permanent marker, or pencil.
Snap Pad Set
The Snap Pad and accessories now available as a set 5% off regular price.
PLUS 2 Hole Punch
We found an ideal two-hole punch to match Postalco Snap Pads. This solid metal puncher makes holes in about 16 sheets of paper at once, so you can have as much paper as you need for your Snap Pad.
Snap Calendar
The Snap Pad refillable notebook is now a calendar.
Each sheet shows one month with note taking lines on the backside so you can keep track of upcoming events or record things after they happen.
Snap Calendar 2025 is sold out.
At Postalco Shop in Kyobashi, the Snap Pad and accessories now available as a set 5% off regular price.
This fabric is made with the same machines that were used to make tent fabric. The base color of the white threads will become more apparent and it will soften with use.
The brass snap buttons will gain in texture as they are used.
To be honest, using miscopies has not been something I have been willing to do. This "Snap Pad" makes me want to use it.
I guess this is the power of design.
