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.
"Where there is love and inspiration, I don't think you can go wrong." - Ella Fitzgerald
Complete proceeds of this exclusive Paper Source art print are donated to the NAACP. The NAACP works to secure the political, educational, social and economic equality of rights in order to eliminate race-based discrimination and ensure the health and well-being of all persons.
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.
