Frequent Asked Questions
Pad counters are used before binding to turn one thick stack of paper (such as a ream) into multiple stacks of a consistent thickness. Once you measure how thick you want each notepad to be, you simply tighten the pad counter, and use it to divide up the rest of the ream, adding a piece of chipboard or other backing to the bottom of each stack.
