PAUSE, REWIND... Cancel the logo design


In effort to offer a contest that might showcase our customer's talent, it has been brought to our attention that a Logo Design Contest is not a positive approach to this ultimate goal.

We apologize if for any reason you feel this contest (quote) "devalues the work produced by the whole design industry". Our heart is to respect and service our clientele.


We are changing the logo contest to: The Designer's Showcase

We apologize for any inconvenience this change may have caused.

Plike is the HOT trend for Fall!

Feature 10% OFF all P-LIKE Plike Paper and Envelopes10% 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

  • Labor Day Holiday note
  • Foil Celebration ending soon - What's next?
  • "Google Checkout" discount available NOW
  • Secret Coupon Code available through Aug. 31

Wausau Royal Brands Royal ComplementsWausau Royal Brands... We are excited to announce Royal Complements has added 5 NEW colors to this ever popular cardstock family: Bright White, Natural, Charcoal, Chocolate Truffle & Winter Wheat. We have updated our Complements Sampler Packs to include all colors, including the 5 new shades.Another change to this popular line, we have changed our 'small packs" to be quantities of 25. We are trying to keep in mind the designer who needs just a few to create those customer samples. Don't forget, Complements are also available in Full Size 26 x 40 Sheets.

Royal has been revamped & is also affecting Royal Linens, Royal Fibers & Royal Marbles. We are consistently updating our inventory and our site. You will notice how the 'Complements' are designed to complete and accent the lighter weight Royal grades.

Labor Day Holiday We at Paper-Papers will be observing Labor Day Holiday on Monday, September 1, 2008. Our warehouse will be closed Monday, but we will be back to business as usual on Tuesday, September 2. Also, please be aware that Labor Day is a shipping holiday in the US, so when calculating transit time, be sure to take this into consideration. Foil Celebration ending soon... Holiday Foil Lined Envelopes! We have been running strong with our Foil Celebration during the month of August. Now is a great opportunity to save. For the designer who is planning for their Holiday orders, be sure to mark your calendar, this 15% discount will end August 31, 2008. We may not send an Email Notice when our feature changes at the beginning of next month, so, keep those eyes peeled for Paper-Papers.com front page to change. When we implement our new 'FEATURE', the Foil discount will expire within 1 or 2 days following.Secret Coupon Code

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.

Sincerely,Lori and The Team at Paper-Papers
