About Papillon Press

Papillon Press is Vernon and Madeleine, a father/daughter printmaking, stationery, and design business based in the Midwest. We started in 2017 with the dream of renewing historical patterns, and have expanded to create many of those, and many of our own original designs! These patterns and images are then made into art prints, greeting cards, notebooks and more, often using our century-old letterpress. We have one main priority at Papillon Press, and that is making the world a better place. We try to do that in two main ways, bringing beauty into the world, and doing so in a way that doesn't harm the earth or the people in it. We use sustainable methods of production, and try to reduce as much waste as we can, which means we also use recycled and biodegradable materials. We source our items from businesses that are environmentally ethical and pay their employees a fair and living wage. Read their story
