Desk pad

Desk pad

A desk pad or blotter is a table protector used when table work (such as painting or eating) damages the table. Different desk pads have specific uses for example, Chinese calligraphy uses a black velour desk pad since Chinese calligraphy is written using an ink brush. Westerners use simpler Writing pads, while less expensive carton desk pads are used as promotional items, providing a calendar that comes with promotional information.

A desk pad is typically a paper based product used for writing, note taking and scribbling. Typically a desk pad is either A3 in size (420 x 297mm) or A2 in size (594 x 420mm). Desk pads are very popular promotional products, usually branded with a logo, contact information and product or service information. Many also include a calendar.

Desk pads are usually glued at the foot (bottom) of the pad to prevent the paper from curling. Many are glued to a grey backboard. They can contain anything from 10 to 100 sheets although 50 sheets is standard.
