Of what material are the sticky notes on recycled paper made?

How does the design upload work for this product?

• It is possible to supply your design files in multiple ways. For the best result, we kindly ask you to please supply your files in vector. If the logo consists of Pantone colours, it should be saved as vector. Vector means that the design isn't made of pixels, but out of lines.

What printing techniques are used for this product?

• The technique that is used is PMS up to 3 colours and for more colours full colour printing will be used. PMS (or Pantone Matching System) colors are slightly different than CMYK (full colour) colors because they are mixed before they are applied to a surface. The pure spot color, or PMS color, is a mixed ink that allows for a wider range of reproduced colors than the CMYK spectrum.
