The post-it from the roll are actually a narrow strip of continuous post-it paper, which is back completely coated with the special post-it adhesive. So as Scotch tape, only paper. Tearable also on the length forth as desired. I like the small strip always fall out good for cookbooks to hold a short special features among the recipes, without the normal post-it takes away too much space, or inserted note and then it will be lost. One point deduction is available for the price, which acts very ambitious. But otherwise everything is ok: quality, workmanship and design. Therefore, there are four well-adhering star.
