The Snap Pad is one of Postalco Japan’s most popular items. Its unique top binding allows any hole-punched sheets of paper to be added, making it a customisable as a reusable notebook or notepad. This A4- size is perfect for sketches, work plans or whatever daily notes you need to scribble down — it's a piece of minimalist stationery of pure functional design. Simply add a Postalco paper refill, or your own, and fasten with a click. Its hinged pressed-cotton top cover flips over to protect your notes. Also available in A5 and A6.
Snap Pads are covered with pressed cotton, Postalco’s signature textile made using the same machinery for tent fabric. To highlight its natural texture and character, it's designed to age, soften, perhaps even wrinkle a little with use.
