Paper On Pine

Amazingly creative graphic design team. They designed my sister’s wedding invitations and were absolutely stunning. Super friendly employees and great environment and retail selection.

Phenomenal customer service here. I’ve been to Paper on Pine a few times, and everyone I’ve spoken with has been incredibly kind and personable. I’ve talked with them about Orange is the New Black, about Tom Robbins, about a friend of mine who had her wedding invitations made there… I just love that kind of connecting, I love when people are as friendly and chatty as I am.
I was walking by recently, saw a sign for 2016 planners, and stopped in. I am so excited for next year because of the planner I bought here. It’s pink and week at a glance and perfect! I went back a couple weeks later with my best friend, she bought the same planner, and I bought what is basically the best tote bag that I’ve ever owned. I totes love totes.
I’ve also bought note cards and gift bags and tissue paper here. I especially enjoy the wall of note cards and envelopes in so many different colors.
Very highly recommend.

Cute place that has great Philly themed items. Service for invitations and other printed materials is great. They take checks. My company uses them all the time for invitations, seating cards, etc. Staff is always very nice and helpful. It is like a local version of a paper source

I stopped in here because the shop looked cute from outside. When I first walked in the person minding the store was chatting with some customers? I think they bought something. Well they were talking for a good 20 minutes. During that time I picked out some stationary I liked and then walked around trying to not be rude or pushy about the fact that they were clearly having a getting to know you session. As it turns out the customer (a new mom) was possibly employing the shop girl as a babysitter. Alright, finally they left and I thought, YES, I can finally buy this stationary… OR NOT because she promptly walked away from the register all ecstatic about the «networking» she was doing. I left the stationary at the front of the store and walked out.
Looking at the other reviews, it seems that service in this shop has been a problem in the past.

I love shopping at independently owned stores, not just because it supports local business but because it reminds of going to craft fairs with my mom back in the burbs after Sunday church. It seems silly to compare the two being that I’m almost 30, but any little shop that brings back the feelings of bonding time with mom is a-​ok in my book and 13^th street happens to be full of them. Paper on Pine is not always my first choice for gift giving, though their selection seems to have grown over the years; but it’s my go-​to for perfectly written cards to express any sentiment and to commemorate any event. I wish that I had the kind of money to purchase the kind of Christmas cards that they print here and instead typically opt for something cheaper in quality because who really keeps Christmas cards? That doesn’t stop me from ogling their beautiful samples anyway. If I was in the market for higher end printing and design services though, I would absolutely make it a point to stop and discuss options here.

This store has very nice products. We decided to have our wedding invitations done here after meeting with a very friendly and employee who we really liked. Unfortunately that person left and we ended up having to correspond with a different staff person, who was quite rude and left a bad impression overall. In every interaction we had with her, she was unfriendly and came across like she was doing us a huge favor. She overcharged me in error, and instead of double checking when I questioned the total she basically just made something up and said it was correct. When I picked up the last batch and kindly asked her to double check the records. Realizing she had overcharged me, she offered no apology (which blew me away!).

We got our save-​the-​dates for our wedding here. The «design team» (really it was just one person) seemed very incompetent. The design of the save-​the-​dates we loved but getting there was a process. We asked for a certain amount of cards and for some reason they just couldn’t get the quote right. Emails back and forth made it seem like I was dealing with a 12 year-​old. It wasn’t until I highlighted each incorrect line item did they actually fix the quote. When we went to pick them up they tried to charge us for double what we ordered. Unfortunately we won’t be ordering our wedding invitations here.

Paper on Pine is my go-​to stop when I need gifts to be beautifully wrapped. It’s conveniently located right near Open House and Verde, my go-​to «I have no idea what to get someone» gift stores, so I can get everything done in one little stop on 13^th Street. Their wrapping paper is a little pricey, but it’s so gorgeous that it’s worth every penny.
I walked in today on my lunch break with a few gifts to wrap that weren’t boxed up, and was disappointed to learn that they don’t have any boxes in store (not even for purchase)! I was a little put off by the lack of help that I was offered by the girl working in the store, especially since I was the only customer present at the time. I am accustomed to smaller boutique-​like shops going out of their way to help their customers and to make a sale. I had to settle for a gift bag this time around, but I really think that it would make sense for a store that sells wrapping paper, ribbon, and bows, to think about having some boxes on hand.

The best local place to find greeting cards, period. Everything they have is interesting and artistic, in styles I’ve never seen before. Lots of cool three-​dimensional cards, letterpress, rich patterns and textures, whimsical drawings, elegant photographs, etc.
Three stars only because it’s rather pricey and the selection is much smaller than it could be (they could fit a lot more cards in there– look at Verde or Open House down the street for examples of how to display a huge inventory neatly in a small space). I used to gripe about the staff, but the male employee who’s been there for the past year or so is so pleasant that he compensates for the other, frostier employees.
I have no experience with their printing services.

I went in here looking for a gift for my date, it was his birthday. Even though I did not end up buying anything, it was hard for me to leave the store. Full of super cute things starting from cards to colored papers. Things like this, I fancy! Things like this that i fancy, they put a whole through my wallet too. Alas, I contained myself walked out without buying a gazillion things I did not need.
All the cards, noetpads, sticky paper, tags and pen and paper, geez, I wanted to die out of excitement. Now I know where to get my sister her birthday card: D Also, the sales people are exxxxxxtremely nice, showed me around and tried to help me out, went out of their way even when they knew I was most likely not to buy anything.

I popped into Paper On Pine today to pick up a little something for my love. I ended up with little somethings for four people I love. The cards are absolutely perfect. The selection at first appears small, but when every card says exactly the right thing, you don’t need aisles to choose from.
While I didn’t have time to peruse the rest of the store, I have a feeling I’d love every inch of it. At check out, the (very nice) woman working there gave me a card for frequent visits. Buy ten cards and get the eleventh free. I’m already halfway there. What a great shop!

Kudos to the nice people at Paper on Pine for going out of their way to explain a whole lot to a person who admitted that they were only looking to spend a little money.
I’m not a paper-​aficionado, but they seemed to know what they were talking about had had many, many options to look through.

If you’re looking to support an independent card shop, definitely go to Paper on Pine. Although I was just browsing when I went in, I suddenly spotted a 100^th birthday card, which I should have bought a little over a month ago for my great-grandmom’s 100^th birthday! Not the best timing, but their selection of greeting cards, stationery, and writing implements makes for great gift ideas and is conveniently located amidst a number of other great shops on 13^th Street!

Lovely store for all your paper needs. I purchased my holiday cards here and they were a total hit. The selection is awesome and they have something for everyone. Every time I shop here the customer service is attentive and personalized. They also have an awesome U.K. candy selection.

Paper on Pine is perfect for small, last minute items, whether it’s a greeting card of sorts or if it’s nice stationery.
I am sometimes disappointed by the lack of diversity amongst the cards, and I hope that they at some point get a larger blank card collection, but overall, it’s a fantastic store with helpful, friendly staff.
The prices are a bit high for greeting cards, but I’m willing to pay for such high quality items.

I love, love, love this store! My last visit was before I joined Unilocal — maybe in the late Spring — but I’ve ventured in on many occasions.
This is my go-​to place for specialty cards. When I don’t have time to make my own, I know I can always find a well designed, unique creation from Paper on Pine.
My latest find? A box of engraved, hand bordered (mustard color silk screen on cream colored paper) thank you cards from Vera Wang. Simple and elegant, only the words «thankyou» («you» is bold) on the front. I paid a reasonable $ 30 for 10 notes & envelopes. Pricey? Yes. Worth it? Yes.
They also stock a wide variety of Moleskine books & specialty gift items, but I normally stick to the cards.
The staff have always been friendly and accessible — there if you need assistance, but never overbearing.

I went in recently to find some cute cards to mail out to long lost friends. It seems that an entire gaggle of people don’t think I remember how to communicate without my laptop, so I wanted to prove them wrong. I also wanted to assure myself that I still knew how to use a paper and pen, and I figured I could kill two birds with one stone.
This store is super cute and has some great products. I found some silkscreened notes that are beautiful as well as a few funny cards that made me laugh out loud. If you’re looking for wedding invites, this seems like it would be a good stop as there’s an entire section within this petite shop dedicated to gettin’ hitched.
I’d love to rate it higher but my customer service experience left a lot to be desired. There was only one other browser in the store when I was there, and the woman behind the counter didn’t acknowledge either one of us. No hello, no offer of assistance, nothing. I can put up with a lot but unfriendly service just doesn’t fly with me. As a result, I decided to hold off on my purchase and go somewhere else. In the end, I made my own cards. Never underestimate the power of being nice!

I think it’s funny that its still called Paper on Pine even though its now located on 13^th Street. Either way it’s awesome. I wandered in the Pine Street location looking for classy thank-​you notes and there were many to choose from. I could have purchased some that cost more than the gift I was sending said note for. That was a bit extravagant for me but I did find some suitably nice and priced accordingly. My husband and I also just shopped for a good 45 minutes playing with the little chotchkes and reading the funny stuff they have.
Would be great for a gift when you don’t know what to get. I’m nothing if not helpful posting this a week after Christmas, right?

Paper On Pine is such a lovely little store. They have plenty of quality stationary to suit any need. They also have some really neat additions such as super strong little magnets. (Which I purchased and which work great, btw.) They also have an amazing wedding invitation section. If /​when I get engaged I will certainly be getting my invitations made here.

My wife stopped in to get some cards for her friends back home. They sent us off to my new job in Philly buried under a mountain of gifts and well-​wishes, so no regular drugstore cards would do.
This store is the kind of place where you get the top-​shelf cards… a great selection of a cards… they have three-​dimensional cards with little felt charms and some cool silk-​screened prints, as well as the usually overwhelming array of stationary.
I’m making a point to stop back in for the holiday card season!
