On Paper opened in 1997 and is located in the historic Short North Arts District of Columbus, Ohio. It is an independent retail shop, privately owned by Joan Schnee. On Paper was forged out of a long time dream of Joan’s to combine her 20+ year retail career and her two hobbies - papermaking and collage.

On Paper is many things: a brick and mortar (literally!) retail shop, a full service custom stationer and a web store. With an exceptionally dedicated staff, we specialize in high quality products and service that distinguish us a true specialty shop. In addition to name brand luxury goods we buy unique and handmade merchandise and strive to support small businesses, cottage industries and individual artists.

For a small shop based in the heartland we are proud to have received accolades and press in national publications. Town and Country, Cookie, Modern Bride, Elegant Bride, Stationery Trends and Midwest Living have all featured our product and wedding invitation designs.

As the digital age advances at light speed, we look forward to serving our loyal clients as well as newcomers who continue to discover the joy of the written word and the fine art of inviting and gift giving. We want to share our passion for paper with everyone who feels deeply enough about what they have to say and for whom they say it to put their thoughts ON PAPER!!
