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.
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 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. "

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.

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 8" 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ー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.
Prototype Snap Pad. The hole width matches the standard two-hole punch found in Asia and Europe.
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.
