Custom Paper Notepads
100% satisfation Guaranteed
Custom notepads can play an important role as a core component in many board games in which a necessary feature is to record players' scores or keep track of clues and other information

Many popular board games include notepads. We may make them of blank sheets, lined paper, or have instructions, categories, items, and characters printed on them. Players may use notepads to keep scores, keep track of events, jot down clues, or several other purposes, depending on the game. If you’d like to include a custom-made notepad or notepads in your board game design, we can help.

Wow wow wow! Where do I begin? I've been working with QinPrinting for nearly 10 months since I first reached out to them inquiring about their services, as I had a game I wanted to create. Since day one, Daniel was incredibly patient and transparent, and he answered my *millions* of questions along the way. He and his team worked with me to make adjustments as needed, which I very much appreciated since I wasn't able to be there in person to ask questions and point out specifics—and I was very particular about my vision. I'm honestly shocked that we were able to pull this off simply by email communication and pdf files!

The sample kit they have available is a must-order for your project. It has every type of paper and finish with a bunch of sample products they've worked on, which helped me make an informed decision about how I wanted my game to look and feel.

The final product(s) arrived within their estimated window and in excellent condition. It still feels surreal to hold it in my hands, and it feels like a legitimate game—because it is!! All thanks to this incredibly talented and professional team.

I feel relieved to have a trusted manufacturer to continue printing my products as sales come in. They're truly worth every penny. Thank you, QinPrinting!!!

Great support every step of the way. Communication never stopped and I received a video of the book before they arrived, Shipping was very quick in my opinion and the books were top quality.

I had a deck of conversation cards printed with Qin Printing and I couldn't be happier with the results.

I went with Qin Printing as I had specific printing requests that could not be met by many Australian printing service providers, especially not at a competitive price point.

The quality and finishing of the conversation cards is outstanding and the entire process was seamless from start to end. The team at Qin Printing were prompt to reply to my questions and queries and also very helpful with troubleshooting.

I got regular updates on the status of the printing job and shipping period, including pictures and videos of the product.

Thank you everyone at Qin Printing!

Ideal Notepad Sizes for Board Games

In principle, your board game notepads could be any size you prefer. In practice, certain norms and standards exist which have developed over the years to create the “ideal” notepad sizes seen most often in popular board game designs. The most common and handy sizes are these:

note-pad-4
4"x 5"
note-pad-5.5
5.5" x 8.5"
note-pad-8.5
8.5"x 11"

These sizes work best for custom board games as they’re economical to print, easy to handle, big enough to contain sufficient information but small enough so that players can hide them without difficulty, and will fit well in a board game box without adding unnecessary weight.

While we’ll print any size you want, we recommend sticking to these standard sizes for the reason outlined above; but also because they meet players’ expectations. And any advanced customization, including unusual sizes, will add extra costs.

Binding for Your Board Game Notepad

We bind your notepad pages together with a strip of glue. This is secure enough to make sure they don’t fall apart, but soft enough to make it easy to remove pages without tearing. Usually, with a rectangular pad, we’ll bind the top short side. But we can bind the notepad on any side. It’s up to you. We also glue the block of pages to a backing sheet of cardboard or grayboard to make the notepad more durable, protect the sheets from creasing, and to make a supported surface on which players may write.

You can choose 10, 12, 25, 20, or 25 sheets per pad. But we can go up to 40, 60, or even 80 sheets if needed. Remember that each sheet has two writing surfaces—so with an 80-sheet notepad, you’ll have 160 writable pages!

What's The Best Paper for A Board Game Notepad?

We recommend 100 gsm / 70 lb text or offset paper for notepads. This is an uncoated paper, so it’s easy to write on in pen or pencil. However, we can also use other papers and print them with text, boxes, lines, and so on to suit your needs.

Notepad Paper Color

While we print most notepads in black-and-white or just leave them blank, we can also print in colored ink, or print on colored paper. In that case, we’ll use the CMYK color space for offset printing. Adding a splash of color—even if it’s just a header with the game’s name or your company logo—can make your notepad stand out. You can choose any colors or printed designs you like.

Branding

We recommend branding your board game notepads. Any opportunity to repeat your company colors, logo, slogan, and contact details is good and notepads are great for establishing your branding as they’re interactive and used often while players enjoy your game.

Notepad Accessories

Don’t forget to order a few simple accessories to accompany your notepads. Why not included branded pens, pencils, erasers, and even stickers in your board game box? It makes playing the game easier for your customers and it’s another chance to build your brand and promote your board game business!
