Single Sheet Scrapbook Papers No Longer Available

Unfortunately, we had to discontinue offering Single Sheet Scrapbook Papers on DesktopPapers.com. From a business standpoint, you may be able to determine why it is such a hard thing to offer.

Anyway, we hope to offer various assortments of scrapbook paper soon.

New Products Section!

It’s hard to keep up with all the new products we have to offer. It seems like every few weeks we are adding new products to sections. However, as a customer you probably have no idea unless you are looking for a certain product. That’s why we’ve decided to make a New Products section!

In the New Products section, you will find the most recent products added to the site! The products are listed from most recent to least recent. The products will stay in the section for about 2 months before we take them out of there!

Of course, if you keep checking our awesome blog, you will find announcements about all our new products along with my personal comments! But for those who don’t, there is now an alternative!

Desktop Publishing Supplies Ultimate Paper Search Engine

It’s finally here! Thanks to Google™!

Google™ has created a new Custom Search Engine generator that can be created and used by anyone!

DesktopSupplies.com offers mostly blank stock while DesktopPapers.com offers mostly preprinted stationery stock. Now, with one search engine, you will be able to find exactly what you looking for. And best of all, it’s powered by Google™ - the leading Search Engine on the Internet!

Anyway, feel free to try it out below! Hope you enjoy it!

Inkjet Cartridges No Longer for Sale

We just removed all of our Inkjet Cartridges from our website. We will no longer be carrying any type of inkjet cartridge. As for the remaining cartridges, check back soon to see where we will post them. We will probably put them in a box and sell them on ebay for cheap. If that is the case, I will provide a link on this blog for you to check it out.

Thanks!

Desktop Supplies offers Boxed Holiday Cards!

We have decided to begin offering Masterpiece Studios Boxed Holiday Cards on DesktopSupplies.com! This is a great addition to our Christmas paper and cards!

Our Boxed Holiday Cards are perfect for anyone! There are over 500 different styles of cards ranging from $9.95 to $40! To make it easier, we have categorized them primarily into their pricing sections (except for warmest wishes and high count card).

This year become one of the millions of people who send their christmas greetings to friends and family across the country, and do it with our Boxed Holiday Cards!

P.S. We are currently still adding the boxed holiday cards to the website. There are about 300 cards up right now and the rest will be added shortly. Check back in a few weeks for the full line of Boxed Holiday Cards!

DesktopPapers.com Minimum Order value reduced!

We have reduced our minimum order value from $14.90 to $8.95. With the smaller value, our customers will be able to buy a more minimal amount of items. $8.95 is the cost of our 100 sheet stationery paper packs.

You may ask, “Why do you even need a minimum order value?” It is very simple really. We do not charge for handling. Handling is the time it takes to import your orders into our system, process them, pull them, and pack them to be shipped. Therefore, the smaller the order, the more it costs for us. For instance, take our single sheet scrapbooking paper. One sheet of this is $0.64. If a customer were to order 10 sheets, we would get an order for $6.40, but we would have to pull 10 different items and pack them! Therefore, we need a minimum.

Anyway, I hope that this change will help satisfy more customers and make their experience with us much better!

Thanks!

New Rotating Image Announcements

As the webmaster for both DesktopSupplies.com and DesktopPapers.com, I felt our website’s needed more up-to-date homepages. To me, our pages were getting stale, especially since our homepages have pretty much been the same for the past 2 years. That’s why I decided it would be great to have rotating images in place of the text welcome statement on our homepages.

This new rotating images annoucements will flash a different announcement every 5 seconds. This way, you can see all of our new products, sales, or seasonal favorites right on our homepages! It is a great way to keep all of our customers informed and hopefully will help them to find what they are looking for!

Another great feature of the rotating images is that they will feature a link. Each image is associated with a different page on our site so you simply click the image and it brings you to where you need to go! I hope that this will help our customers in the future by keeping them updated on everything there is to know about our websites. Thank You!!
