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 featured our specialty gift wrap in a December issue, Cookie magazine selected our desk embosser for a full page spot in it’s premier issue and Modern Bride consults with us for wedding and stationery etiquette as well as having highlighting numerous On Paper Press invitations in numerous issues. We also enjoyed our fifteen minutes of fame when MTV rolled in to town and shot a piece in the shop for their reality series "True Life".

As On Paper enters its tenth year we look forward to serving our loyal and dedicated clients as well as newcomers who continue to discover us.
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!!
