Ideal for carrying or archiving clippings, print outs and maps to favourite places.
It can be used instead of a clear-pocket. Also, can be used as a notebook, using recycled papers. These days there is more scrap paper floating around than ever before. We made these Snap Pads to capture and make it easy to use those loose copy papers. Recycled Paper Board. Made in Japan.

How to use

To use make holes in the top edge of the papers with a standard 2-hole puncher and snap them into the Snap Pad. To use the A5 size, just cut the A4 (or 8½ x 11″) papers in half, punch holes, and snap them in! For A6 size, cut the A4 paper into four equal pieces. Each holds about 100 sheets.

Personalize to your liking

“Everyone has their own unique way of using the Snap Pad. You can choose from a variety of our Snap Pad papers and accessories—Snap Calendar, Snap Pockets, and Fabric Tabs. We’ve seen Snap Pads used for photo albums, file folders, menus, and for tons of other purposes. In fact, we made the Snap Pad to intentionally allow for functions unintended by us to be discovered by the person using it.”

“It’s great to see people coming up with their own uses for the Snap Pad. We’ve seen people use them for photo albums, file folders, meeting notes, and tons of other purposes.”

Making the invisible visible

“Stationery makes invisible, but important things, into something visible. The moment you close a digital display or phone, your calendar is gone. That’s what we feel is not satisfying about some digital solutions for things like to-do lists. There is still a very clear function for paper and stationery.”

――Mike Abelson / Yuri Abelson

Snap Pad Accessories

Limit distractions and return to mindfulness with paper. The refillable Snap Pad, calendar, and accessories help us balance digital with paper to make each day more meaningful.

Learning from Japan

“The craftspeople, suppliers, and small workshops found in Japan make things not to be found anywhere else. We are fortunate to work with family businesses that are so focused on their craft. Don’t put Postalco items on a shelf or in a drawer. Their beauty is revealed through daily use. They will help you feel good at home and be ready in a meeting.”

Ecologically Made in Japan

‘Mottainai’ is the culture of not wasting. This also means making something well. All items are made in Japan where we are able to find exceptional attention to detail. We also develop a wide range of materials in Japan that are worth pouring time into to create items that will age beautifully. Our wood comes from managed forests in Hokkaido. Leather is vegetable tanned to avoid using the toxic chemicals used in other tanning methods. Fabrics are woven in Japan with tightly managed wastewater and carefully sourced fibers. Our washi paper is hand screened with renewable Kozo fibers and any remaining pulp is reused. Made in Japan means tight environmental regulations for beautiful products that are much easier on the environment.
