About The Paper People Ltd

The Paper People is a collection of beautiful greeting cards by designer, illustrator and sometimes doodler Bee Hurford. The card range plays with typography, balanced colour palettes, and a mix of graphic and hand drawn elements. With a huge range of customers of all ages and cultures, this modern, approachable style means there is always a card amongst the range that will appeal. All cards are printed locally on high-quality, sustainably sourced uncoated stock with crisp colours and a premium feel. The paper we use comes from a forest which is managed in an environmentally, socially and economically beneficial way with wood being tracked from forest to card. The printer we use is incredibly eco-friendly, using compostable ink plus its carbon neutral. Our cards have a matt finish much like traditional printing but with a digital machine. This allows us to print small runs with no waste. Envelopes are locally sourced as well. What started as a small creative project has grown into a business that has grown to supply wholesale, small business and direct to customers as well as offering a message and send personalised service which ships cards on behalf of people from all across the world to their friends and family in New Zealand— connecting people one card at a time. Whether customers are celebrating, laughing, or just saying hi we believe in the power of greeting cards, given and sent with love. Read their story
