Sticky notes are an easy and efficient way to jot down reminders and notes for school, work, and personal reasons. Most clear sticky notes have an adhesive strip for posting on various surfaces. They often come in stacks of different colors, patterns, and sizes. Transparent sticky notes are similar to traditional posted notes, except instead of being a solid color, they’re clear.

What are clear sticky notes used for?

Clear sticky notes for books and crafts are used to leave notes and reminders on projects, pages, folders, computer screens, mirrors, and other items. Sticky notes with clear overlays make it easy to see what’s underneath the paper, whether it be text, a picture, or other important information. Transparent sticky notes are used to mark important pages or projects without covering the entire page or other significant information. Trasparant sticky notes for laptops can also be added to the front of folders, on mirrors, laptop covers, or computer screens as reminders or to alert others of pertinent information.

What writes on sticky notes with clear finishes?

Similar to normal paper and sticky notes, ballpoint pens, washable markers, and permanent markers all write well on clear sticky notes. Permanent markets work best as long as they don’t bleed onto the paper or project underneath. Permanent markers dry quickly and don’t smudge. They’re also available in a multitude of colors and thicknesses. Using different colored markers can help keep information, ideas, and notes organized. Black is the most noticeable, but red suggests an urgent message that needs the recipient’s immediate attention.

Some transparent sticky notes work with pencils as well but may fade over time. When it comes to taking notes or categorizing important information, highlighters also work on clear sticky notes, including neon yellow, green, pink, and blue. Despite popular belief, most clear sticky notes don’t smudge when the correct writing implements are used. Most oil-based pens and markers dry almost instantly, preserving the notes and ideas written on transparent sticky notes. Other pens, including water-based, fountain, and ink, may not work as well or take longer to dry.

How big are sticky notes in transparent colors?

The standard size for clear sticky notes for small notes is 2.8 inches by 2.8 inches, but other sizes are available. Larger, index-sized transparent sticky notes measure approximately 3 inches by 5 inches. These work well for larger notes, projects, and crafts by holding more information and allowing for larger text. Some transparent sticky notes also come with holes punched into the side. These can easily be added to binders, notebooks, or planning books.
