Introducing
The Paper People
The Paper People is a family-run business working out of a studio in Dunedin, New Zealand. We wanted to create a range of greeting cards that are designed and made in NZ and are kind on the planet.
All our cards are printed in Auckland using beautiful eco-friendly stock and compostable ink. Printing digitally means we can print small runs with no wastage and the printer is carbon neutral - how cool is that. Our gift cards are not what you’d find in the supermarket, and more importantly, they haven’t been shipped from the other side of the world.
