Typical sizes for desk pads are A3 and A2. Desk pads are very popular promotional products, usually branded with a logo, contact information and product or service information. Desk pads are usually glued at the foot of the pad to prevent the paper from curling. Many are glued to a grey backboard. They can contain from 10 to 100 sheets although 50 sheets is standard.
