What Are Post It Notes?

Although Post-it® is the original brand developed by 3M, many people use the term "Post It Notes" to describe all sticky notes and repositionable notes. Today, businesses can choose from genuine Post-it® Notes as well as compatible alternatives designed for everyday office use.
