Table together with Flatten will do what you want:
Flatten[Table[{i, 5 j}, {i, 1, 3}, {j, 1, 4}], 1]
= {{1,5},{1,10},{1,15},{1,20},{2,5},{2,10},{2,15},{2,20},{3,5},{3,10},{3,15},{3,20}}
An alternative to using indices with Table is to use Outer:
Flatten[Outer[List, Range[3], 5 Range[3]], 1]
{{1,5},{1,10},{1,15},{2,5},{2,10},{2,15},{3,5},{3,10},{3,15}}
