Custom Stationery Design
We create personalized stationery suites for weddings and events, including invitations, save-the-dates, and day-of materials. Our designers collaborate closely with clients to develop cohesive paper experiences that reflect individual styles. Services include virtual and in-person consultations, multiple proofing rounds, and production oversight.
Wholesale Printing
Our wholesale program supports stationery designers with production services including file preparation, printing, finishing, and shipping. Features include customized pricing grids, material sourcing, and production kits with samples and swatches. We handle projects from small runs to large volume orders with quality control.
Letterpress Printing
Using traditional Chandler & Price platen presses, we offer letterpress printing that creates debossed impressions on cotton and cardstock papers. This premium service utilizes photopolymer plates for detailed results, ideal for clients seeking tactile, high-end paper finishes with lasting impressions.
Foil Stamping
Our foil stamping service applies metallic or matte foil accents using heat and magnesium plates. This premium finishing technique enhances stationery with eye-catching details while maintaining crisp lines and precise application for both small accents and larger design elements.
Digital Printing
We provide cost-effective digital printing using commercial laser machines for full-color spectrum reproduction. This service supports various paper types within weight limitations, offering white printing options for dark stocks and personalized addressing services for invitations and event materials.

We had the pleasure of working with Jill on our wedding invitations. Jill demonstrated the utmost professionalism and passion for her work. We enjoyed our consultation as well as the proofing process. Our invitations turned out beautifully. We've received dozens of compliments on the quality and design. We're so fortunate to have worked with Jill during this special time!

Great store! I have to limit my trips there because I CANNOT go in there and not buy something. Paper Source has a wonderful selection of cards, gift wrap and craft supplies. They also have lots of unusual items and gifts. Definitely worth a visit if you are in Segundo. Their website is great too. I ordered Christmas gifts through it this year and the ordering process was great. They also had deals on shipping.
