Plike is the HOT trend for Fall!

Feature 10% OFF all P-LIKE 10% Off P-like (Plastic-Like) Paper and Envelopes... September offers 10% OFF Plike Paper and Cardstock of all sizes & 10% Off Plike Envelopes. You don't want to miss the opportunity to save!

I hope this update finds all of you doing well! This time of the year represents a lot of changes. Our Summer seems to be winding down here in the Midwest...Children are back to school & Labor Day seems to be the last vacation day before Fall arrives.

I personally love Fall in the Midwest. The briskness in the air, the leaves changing colors and no more mosquito bites. In the spirit of Fall arriving, I thought we'd show off our Plike line of paper and envelopes.

P-like, which is manufactured by Gruppo Cordenons, is known for its unique "touch quality". In my experience, every person who touches this paper seems to pause and comment about how unique it feels. Plike feels uniquely nice, but also looks great! This month we have also included the Plike sampler pack at 10% discount just in case you need to test the paper before you buy. Plike will be our feature through the entire month of September.

Canada just got more convenient...This is for all those Canadian customers who constantly struggle with "How should I ship?". We have taken the mystery away from the 'Brokerage' fees. Paper-Papers has 3 pages of information dedicated to our Canadian clientele.

• FIRST - We recommend you check our Canadian Frequently Asked Questions. FAQ will help understand basic questions & whether you should consider UPS as your shipping solution when ordering from PAPER-PAPERS.


• SECOND - We have created a form that will Calculate 'Commercial' or 'Residential' brokerage fees to Canada. This will calculate the estimated fees to expect upon delivery of your package. Shipping charges are calculated as you process your order at PAPER-PAPERS, but once deliveries cross the border, the shipment incurs additional fees that many customer's find as a surprise. Don't be surprised...know your fees before you buy.


• THIRD - We have a chart that explains how the calculations come about. If you are the type of person that wants to see 'How' the fees added up...this chart is for you. Rate Guide for Customs Clearance into Canada.

I hope you enjoy the rest of your week!Sincerely, Loriand The Team at Paper-Papers

This week I have been working very diligently to update some of our products and pictures. One of the newest change is to our FRENCH PAPER DUR-O-TONE PAPER AND ENVELOPES. I realized we did not have any Full Size sheets listed for this product. I have listed the Full Size Durotones ranging from Text Newsprint, Text Butcher & all Covers. Also, I linked the small pack of envelopes to jump over to the boxes of 250, just in case you really needed the larger quantity. The box prices always save you money. Anyhow, in celebration for me completing this task, I am implementing a 10 day discount for Durotone Paper and Envelopes. If you would like to take advantage of this discount, please record DURO into the coupon code at time of checkout. This coupon will take 10% OFF all Durotone products (excluding Sampler Pack).If you are unfamiliar with this paper line, this may be a great opportunity to give it a test run. French Durotone is 100% recycled and a great choice for many creative projects.As always, use this coupon as many times as you would like, before expiration. The coupon "DURO" expires August 31, 2008.Thank you for viewing our blog.. I hope this keeps you informed. Please enjoy your Labor Day Holiday if you are within a region that observes.

* Recycled - looking ahead

Cotton Paper - The Tree Free Choice
Cotton PaperNext week we will launch our category for several Cotton Papers and envelopes. We are working hard to help you find the products you need. Our goal is to have our COTTON category well organized and ready for the easy 'Tree-Free' finds. The Cotton category will be setup to show you products consisting of partial cotton and those made from 100% cotton. We are so excited to offer this new area of fine papers. Be looking for the Cotton features next week.

Recycled
RECYCLED PAPER...
This is the buzz! We have always carried a large selection of Recycled papers, but due to many requests, we are working on creating a category which will list all our "Recycled Products". This is a huge task but will make finding products much easier for our customers. Currently we carry paper and envelopes that have anywhere from 10% recycled content to being 100% recycled.

Just to offer a quick hint...
A large group of French paper products on our site are 100% recycled, with a few exceptions of specific colors and no Poptones yet (They are currently working on this line becoming recycled soon). Also, so many other mills have started putting recycled content into their bright whites and everyday colors, and they are doing this beautifully! The paper is excellent quality and a wonderful brightness.

Thank you for being an eco-conscious designer! You seem to make beauty out of everything you touch!

Last note...
We hope to have the RECYCLED CATEGORIES available by no later than end of July. Keep your eyes peeled!

--Holiday note
July 4th is just around the corner... Wow! Our warehouse will be closed Friday, July 4 as we observe our Country's Birthday. Please mark your calendars and plan ahead with shipping transit and our office closure.
