Post-it Pad Printing Singapore: Pricing, MOQ, Lead Times & 2026 Buyer Guide
Most post-it pad printing in Singapore quotations look similar at first glance — until you compare line-by-line and discover one supplier is quoting 25-sheet pads while another is quoting 50-sheet, one assumes 1-colour and the other assumes 2-colour, and the lead times differ by ten working days. Without a clean buyer’s framework, comparing apples-to-apples is impossible. This guide is that framework.
Below is a 2026 buyer’s reference for Singapore custom post-it pad pricing, MOQ, lead times, payment terms, and the six line items every quotation should clearly include.

MOQ — What’s the Minimum?
Most Singapore suppliers (including us) accept post-it pad orders from 100 pieces upward. A few constraints push the MOQ higher:
- Standard square or rectangle: 100 pcs minimum
- Premium 80+ sheets: 200 pcs minimum
- Die-cut shape: 300 pcs minimum (because of the die setup cost)
- Full CMYK with custom backing card: 200 pcs minimum
Lead Times (Working Days from Artwork Sign-Off)
| Spec | Lead time |
|---|---|
| Standard square, 1-colour | 14 – 18 working days |
| Standard square, 2-colour | 16 – 20 working days |
| Full CMYK, custom backing | 18 – 22 working days |
| Die-cut shape (after die approval) | 22 – 28 working days |
| Premium 80–100 sheet | 18 – 22 working days |
Always add 3–5 working days on top for artwork rounds before sign-off. If your event is 5 weeks away, you are at the very edge of standard lead time — start now.
Hidden Costs Buyers Often Miss
- Artwork redraw fees if you supply low-resolution or raster files
- Pre-production sample fees ($25–$60) — almost always worth paying on first orders
- Express surcharge if lead time is compressed below standard (15–30% premium)
- Delivery to multiple addresses (some suppliers charge per drop)
- Storage fees if production finishes before you are ready to receive
Payment Terms in Singapore
