A method for making custom printed notes or note pads (10). One or more sheet assemblies (10) are provided which have first and second sheets (12, 13) and a pattern of pressure-sensitive adhesive (16) on the rear major surface (15) of each of the sheets that contacts and is releasably adhered to the rear major surface (15) of the other sheet only in nonadhesive areas. Indicia is printed on the front major surfaces (14) of the sheets using a conventional copy machine (19). The sheets can then either be cut along predetermined lines to form the custom printed notes (10), or the sheets of a plurality of such printed sheet assemblies can be separated, stacked to adhere the patterns of pressure-sensitive adhesive (16) on the rear major surfaces (15) of the sheets to the front major surfaces (14) of the sheets with the edges of the sheets in a predetermined orientation with respect to each other; and the stacked sheets can be cut along predeterrnined lines to form custom printed note pads (10). Assemblies and tablets are de- scribed. Each assembly consists of two sheets. Each sheet bears a pattern of pressure-sensitive adhesive (16) on one major surface (15). The pattern contacts the adhesive-bearing surface of the adjacent sheet only in nonadhesive areas. The pressure-sensitive and nonadhesive areas are so prepared that each sheet can be cleanly peeled from the adjacent sheet, even after prolonged sto- rage. When a single ply is used, it may be formed into a folded configuration, each section on either side of the fold forms a sheet. The sheets may be separated and formed into stacks. The nonadhesive face of each sheet may be treated with a release material so each sheet in the stack may cleanly peel from the underlying sheet.
