About inserts

Snap Pad Inserts

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.

 

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.

More

 

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.

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.

More

 

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.

More

 


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.

More

 

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.

More

 

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.

Material

Pressed Cotton

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. The base color of the white threads will become more apparent and it will soften with use. To keep the natural feeling of the material we did not waterproof coat the surface. There is a light water resistant treatment. Cotton is a natural material so slubs and irregularity in the fibers are part of its character. It is possible for wrinkles to appear as well.

Care

If your item gets wet, pat dry with a soft cloth to absorb any liquid. With strong rubbing the color may come off leaving light spots. Please shade dry in a well ventilated area. If placed near air conditioners or heaters the item may warp.

Gift Wrapping

Gift wrapping may be a cloth bag or a paper bag. Wrapping materials used will vary depending on the product type and size. Please note that we are not able to accept requests for specific wrapping materials. If you would like to have multiple items wrapped together, or if you would like to wrap only some items, please tell us in the memo box. If you do not specify, we will wrap each item individually.

Example of what to write in the memo field:
"Notebook (light blue) and notebook (dark blue) gift-wrapped together, and Bag- gift-wrapped separately. etc. "

Order receipt
If you choose to receive gift wrapping, we will not include an order receipt that shows the price. Please contact us if you would like to receive a receipt by email.

MAN of the WORLD No.3

PIA MOOK 「BUNBOUGU NO SEKAI」

Sketch Journal JIBUN NO KURASHINI「IINE!」SURU SEISAKU NOTE

pen-info

「スナップ」といっても、あまり馴染みがないかもしれない。これはいわゆるパチンと留めるボタンのこと。私はこの手のボタンを「パッチンボタン」と呼んでいたような気がする。海外ではこれを「 SNAP (スナップ)」と言うそうだ。よくアイデアがひらめいた時に、親指と人差し指でパチンと音を鳴らすことがあるが、これも英語で「 SNAP 」というらしい。言葉は違えど、やはり「パチン」ということを意味しているようだ。クリップのところがスナップ、つまりパチンと留めるボタンになっているので、「スナップパッド」という名前になっている。

FAQ

Q. What is the difference between Snap Pad and Snap Pad HW?


A. Snap Pad HW stands for Heavy Weight and is made of thicker Pressed Cotton than our classic Snap Pad. The fabric of the classic Snap Pad is smoother and has a lighter feeling while the HW fabric has a deeper woven texture.

Why a Double Arm?

How to use
To use make holes in the top edge of the papers with a standard 2-hole puncher and snap them into the Snap Pad. To use the A5 size, just cut the A4 (or 8½ x 11") papers in half, punch holes, and snap them in! For A6 size, cut the A4 paper into four equal pieces. Each holds about 100 sheets.

Personalize to your liking
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.

Keep it full of paper and kids or adults can make drawings whenever the mood strikes.

Writing something down allows us to think better.
The spontaneous mixture of previous and current thoughts is what keeps the flow of ideas going.

We wanted a notepad that people can use in whatever way suits them at the moment.

Making the invisible visible
Stationery makes invisible, but important things into something visible. The moment you close a digital display or phone, your calendar is gone. That’s what we feel is not satisfying about some digital solutions for things like to-do lists. There is still a very clear function for paper and stationery.

Easy on your eyes
Snap Pad refills--Snap Paper and Steno Paper.

Snap Pad Accessories
Limit distractions and return to mindfulness with paper. The refillable Snap Pad, calendar, and accessories help us balance digital with paper to make each day more meaningful.

Accidental creation
The idea for the Snap Pad came about accidentally when our designer Mike Abelson was playing with the snap on his calendar cover. He snapped in a memo card that happened to have a hole in it and noticed how satisfying it is to snap paper into place.

Learning from Japan
The craftspeople, suppliers, and small workshops found in Japan make things not to be found anywhere else. We are fortunate to work with family businesses that are so focused on their craft. Don’t put Postalco items on a shelf or in a drawer. Their beauty is revealed through daily use. They will help you feel good at home and be ready in a meeting.
