I have found the Staples Stickies brand to be comparable to the likes of 3M Post-It notes. The price surely is less and the quality seems to be the same. The only issue I have ever had is with the Bold notes the purple and blue are too dark to write anything on which is expected to be read. I use these colors for bookmarks and/or tabs. I do not use them to convey messages. I know that Staples is trying to compete with other similar products out these but the colors need to be improved. I have been buying the Bright notes so that all the notes can be used for messages.
Two things I love…bright colors and saving money! That's why I was especially delighted to find these economical bright pop-up notes at my last visit to the convenient Staples store in my neighborhood. I was given a Jax Post-It note dispenser for Boss's Day last year. I use it every day and when it came time to replace the pad I went to Staples and saved a bunch of money with the purchase of Staples in-house brand pop-up notes. I've used them over a week now and no difference noted. If anything I think the glue is actually a little more effective! Savings happy colors and good glue….what else could a girl want?
I have used Staples Stickies for years and it is as good or better then the 3M Postit notes. And I plan on purchasing them when I use up my current supply
