Buying Paper Online & the new French Paper Website

I liked the email title, "French Paper's New Website-141 Years in the Making".  Catchy, funny, and true.  What concerns me - as a paper merchant- is how many times it encourages the reader to order paper, envelopes and more from the French site.

Mac Papers hasn't been around 141 years, but I'd venture a guess we've been partners with French Papers for a long time.  And I just want to remind customers the value the merchant brings in warehousing and delivering French and all the other papers to you and your printers.  I also want to remind you, we are a wholesaler!  Our customers aren't paying the retail prices you find on the paper mill websites!

So let's imagine your purchase isn't about the service or the availability or the price...why would you buy online?  Very small quantities.  Hey, let's face it.  Sometimes you just need 50 Mod-Tone Pink A-6 envelopes, or 50 sheets of 8.5"x11" 80 lb Cover.  In that instance, you're best bet IS the mill website. 

Not to say we can't help you out with small quantities in many cases, but consider your options.

Not too long ago the website paperspecs.com featured me in a story called The Truth About Your Paper Merchant.  I'd encourage yout to click the link, read it and call Mac Papers.  With 20+ locations in the Southeast, and 180,000 Sq. Ft. of warehouse in Atlanta alone, there's a good chance we have what you need.
