What We're Excited About
The Paper Source Designed Bold Floral Collection
While the onset of spring is often associated with delicate florals and pastels, this year the design team at Paper Source had something different in mind. When it came to designing prints for the new collection, they were feeling bold.
"We were inspired by retro florals and patchwork, and went with a bold color palette rather than a softer traditional look."
-Erin, Paper Source Design Director
The result is a collection of designs that is filled with statement pieces that are equally beautiful and energizing.
Monthly How‑To
Blue Floral Wreath 3 Ways
We're getting creative with our Kit of the Month by taking elements from the Blue Floral Wreath Kit and repurposing them into smaller projects.
1. Make a gift tag or gift topper
2. Adorn a vase or picture frame to use as décor for your next spring gathering
3. Make a handmade greeting card
Visit your local Paper Source during the month of May to make a gift tag or card for free!
Giving Back
Art Prints
We all want the art hanging on our walls to mean something. With our giveback art print program, not only do the words and images represent something meaningful, 100% of the proceeds go to support organizations who are giving back to the communities that need them.
This Paper Source designed art print celebrates Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. Proceeds from this art print will be donated to NAPAWF, National Asian Pacific American Women’s Forum.
Sustainability
Being Paper Source means we are constantly looking for innovations in the paper making process. See how sustainability practices live within our ecosystem of paper.
Starting at Home
The foundation for all our great products is paper. The majority of our paper – the base for wrap, cards & stationery, stickers and more – is created domestically, which means it doesn’t travel the world to get to you!
Working Together with Responsible Mills & Printers
Our paper is produced with certified mills who practice responsible, sustainable forestry. Our products are often created with post-consumer fiber, renewable energy sources or renewable plant-based materials.
Using Our Paper Wisely
Eco-White, made of 100% recycled content with 30% PCW (post-consumer waste), is the base for all our printed stationery, wrap and more.
Providing a Recycled Line
Our line of exclusive solid colors is made with at least 30% PCW. Our Luxe and Savoy papers are also made with a mix of recycled content and/or cotton, a renewable resource.
Packing with Care
We have redesigned our packaging materials to reduce the amount of corrugate and plastic we use. We continue to look for ways to reduce our footprint through our supply chain.
