About

Artistic & Innovative

PAPYRUS celebrates graceful living. We believe that each moment is a memory rich in detail and in character. With the perfect union of art, sentiment and innovative techniques, our products make each of your moments more beautiful, more memorable and more meaningful.

PAPYRUS embraces all that life has to offer. We elevate everyday moments to become joyful events, visual statements and objects of beauty that convey a sense of self and punctuate the way we experience life.

Our History

PAPYRUS was founded in 1950 in the kitchen of Marcel and Margrit Schurman, who created products inspired by their love of fine art and commitment to uncompromising quality.

60 years after its inception, the PAPYRUS brand continues to thrive, drawing inspiration from art, fashion and lifestyle trends. Delighting both sender and receiver, our products reflect the artistry and quality that has become synonymous with the brand.

In 2009, American Greetings acquired both PAPYRUS and Recycled Paper Greetings, combining the two brands to form our company: Papyrus-Recycled Greetings, Inc.

Available at select retailers around the nation and across the globe, PAPYRUS appeals to discerning consumers with a sophisticated sense of style and an appreciation for remarkable quality. More than 100 PAPYRUS stores, owned and operated by Schurman Retail Group, showcase our products in the U.S. and Canada.

Legends say that hummingbirds float free of time, carrying our hopes for love, joy and celebration. Hummingbirds open our eyes to the wonder of the world and inspire us to open our hearts to loved ones and friends. Like a hummingbird, we aspire to hover and to savor each moment as it passes, embrace all that life has to offer and to celebrate the joy of everyday. The hummingbird’s delicate grace reminds us that life is rich, beauty is everywhere, every personal connection has meaning and that laughter is life’s sweetest creation.
