Post-it Notes Go Super Sticky: They're Not Just for Paper Anymore!

In a move reflecting the ever-evolving uses of the beloved Post-it Note, 3M introduces Post-it Super Sticky Notes. Utilizing a newly designed and patented adhesive system, Post-it Super Sticky Notes have the power to hold stronger and stay put longer than most sticky notes on a variety of surfaces.

"3M recognizes that our Post-it Notes aren't used just for sticking to paper anymore," said Post-it Notes marketing director, David Crist, referring to the notes' originally designed use. "Post-it Super Sticky Notes hold longer and stronger whether our consumer is sticking a grocery list to the refrigerator door or sticking a meeting reminder to a computer monitor. Post-it Super Sticky Notes stick practically anywhere your note needs to be to get noticed," Crist added.

The newly developed adhesive on each Post-it Super Sticky Note represents more than simply an extra layer of the current adhesive formulation. In fact, Post-it Super Sticky Notes' newly patented adhesive is a unique formulation allowing maximum adhesion to vertical surfaces such as doors, refrigerators and windows; plastics such as computer monitors, dashboards, steering wheels and telephones; and a range of other surfaces such as leather and vinyl; and much more.

In addition to the new adhesive, Post-it Super Sticky Notes offer a variety of contemporary colors. Based on trends identified by the Color Marketing Group, 3M selected three new shades for Post-it Super Sticky Notes representing the hottest worldwide color trends through 2004. The new notes come in hues including Daffodil (yellow), Orchid (lilac) and Ocean (true blue). They are available in a range of sizes that are popular for self-reminders (3 inches x 3 inches), notes to others (4 inches x 4 inches; lined) and lists (4 inches x 6 inches; lined).

For over 20 years, Post-it Notes have helped millions of people to remind themselves of urgent "to-dos" and send messages that need to be seen. From remembering to buy a gallon of milk to the 2 p.m. meeting with the boss to a mealtime love note in a child's lunchbox, Post-it Notes and, now, Post-it Super Sticky Notes provide a simple and extremely effective way to remind oneself and others of everyday life's big and little details.
