Paper goods, seven colors, no neon
Cranels
Most sticky notes come in whatever shades were cheapest to print. Cranels come in seven, chosen to sit next to each other — so a wall of them looks like a plan, not a pile.
Watch
The commercial.
Sound is off to start — unmute for the music.
Built to hold
Three things a note has to do. Every time.
Grips harder
Lockers, laptops, fridge doors, the inside of a binder. It sticks — and a week later it is still stuck.
No bleed-through
Marker, gel pen or pencil. The ink stays on the side you wrote it on, and off the sheet underneath.
Peels clean
No curl, no torn corner, no sticky ghost left behind on the paint.
Build a block
Pick a shape. Then pick a color.
Every block is one size and one color, 100 sheets deep. The whole site changes with you — that is roughly what your desk will look like.

Classic in Saffron
3 × 3 in. · 100 sheets
Saffron is for the thing that is actually due today. It is the loudest color in the range, so spend it carefully.
Try one
Write it down. Stick it up.
A Cranel holds about eight words. That limit is the feature: if it does not fit on the square, it was never the actual task. Notes come out in whatever color you picked above.

From the desks of
People who stopped losing things.
I have not missed a homework assignment since October. That is the whole review.
Green for chores, pink for the nice notes. My kids learned the code in a day and now they actually read them.
Other notes disappear into a messy desk. These I can find from the doorway.
Why these seven
Color should be a system, not a surprise.
A color can carry meaning
Give Harbor to facts and Persimmon to deadlines and your board starts sorting itself. That only works if the set is small enough to remember.
They have to live together
Every Cranels color was mixed to sit beside the other six. Nothing in the range fights anything else in the range.
Loud is not the same as clear
Neon grabs your eye and then keeps it. Ours are bright enough to spot across a room and calm enough to leave up for a month.
Stick with what matters.

“I got tired of losing the one note that mattered in a pile of yellow ones. So I built a better note: seven colors that actually mean something, and paper that stays where you put it.”
