our story.

The IMPAPER story originates in the summer of 2014, originally ran as a business called Dolch Designs, a hobby art print business Christine Phan started after not being able to find graphic prints to decorate her room with that matched her aesthetic and budget. Kevin tagged along and helped out. As 18 year olds at the time, little did they know what they were getting into, and after launching a website and participating in an in-person festival that summer, to their delighted surprise, they had a few customers and a few hundred dollars later were in the black.

Since day one, we set out with a goal to build a business that could help to solve problems and play our part in creating a better world. Summer of 2015 comes around, and we waved goodbye to Dolch Designs and IMPAPER was officially born out of a passion for design, stationery and giving back. We believed that business should be used as a force for good.

We also believed that in a world of growing digital transformation, that paper goods played an important role in staying connected and keeping things human. Greeting cards especially, played an important role in our relationship. Our playbook expanded to greeting cards, bookmarks and other stationery goods and it’s no surprise to us that we found a home in greeting cards. There’s a reason why people keep shoe boxes of greeting cards they received, people saving text messages or emails? Not so much.

We’re building the future do good stationery company – crafting good, sharing good, and operating good with good purpose & impact.
The outcome? Today, IMPAPER has grown to be a small team with a big vision, a product line of over 400 products, and with products carried in over 250 retailers across North America.
