Tearaway Notepads
Tearaway notepads feature perforated sheets that allow a portion to be cleanly detached — creating a notepad that doubles as a coupon book, voucher pad, or response slip collection. The top section serves as a branded notepad, while the perforated bottom section can be torn off and handed to a client, used as a discount voucher, or submitted as a feedback form.
At Perklets Print, our tearaway notepads are precision-perforated for clean, straight tearing every time. The perforation position is customisable — horizontal or vertical — and the two sections can feature completely different designs and content. This dual-purpose format makes tearaway notepads a powerful marketing tool disguised as a practical office item.
Tearaway notepads are widely used by sales teams (quote slips), retail businesses (discount coupons), medical practices (prescription pads with patient copies), restaurants (order pads with kitchen copies), and any business that needs a pad with a detachable section.

FAQs: Tearaway Notepads
How clean is the perforation tear?
Our micro-perforation produces a very clean, straight tear. The perforated section detaches neatly with minimal effort, leaving no rough edges on either piece.
Where can the perforation be placed?
The perforation can be positioned horizontally (top/bottom split) or vertically (left/right split) at any point on the sheet. The most common position is a horizontal perforation creating a 2/3 + 1/3 split.
Can the two sections have different designs?
Yes, the main notepad section and the tearaway section can have completely different designs, colours, and content. This is ideal for branded note area + detachable coupon or voucher.
What are common uses for tearaway notepads?
Popular uses include discount coupon pads, quote/estimate slips, prescription pads with patient copies, restaurant order pads, feedback form pads, and appointment reminder pads.
Can I add numbering to tearaway notepads?
Yes, sequential numbering can be added to the tearaway section — useful for tracking coupons, vouchers, orders, or receipts.
