Inside the Papyon atelier in Karaköy, Istanbul

Established 2011 · Istanbul · Trade Division

Paper goods, made by hand for the world’s quieter hotels, planners & brands.

Papyon’s wholesale atelier produces cotton-paper invitations, leather-bound notebooks, menu sets and gift packaging for 320+ hospitality and corporate partners across 47 countries. Trade pricing begins at fifty units, with a twenty-four-hour mockup turnaround on every brief.

The Wholesale Mechanics

Four reasons a procurement manager chooses Papyon over a generic supplier.

No middleman, no minimum reams of catalogue — every order is produced in our Karaköy atelier and inspected by a single craftsperson before it leaves the building.

  1. 01

    Fifty-unit threshold

    Trade pricing unlocks at a minimum of fifty units per SKU, with tiered volume breaks at 250 and 1,000. No six-figure annual commitment, no annual buy-in — just a sensible floor for hand-finished production.

  2. 02

    Twenty-four-hour mockups

    Submit your brief before 4 pm Istanbul time and your bespoke mockup lands in your inbox the next working day. Average sample-to-approval cycle across our hospitality clients is forty-eight hours.

  3. 03

    Hand-inspected production

    Ninety-two percent of invitations are inspected by a single named craftsperson before shipping. Cotton paper is sourced from a third-generation mill in northern Italy — never substituted, ever.

  4. 04

    Carbon-neutral shipping

    Insured, tracked delivery to forty-seven countries via DHL GoGreen, included carbon-neutral on every order since 2020. Tracked end-to-end from our loading dock to your receiving desk.

What You Can Put Your Name On

Six editorial categories, each with its own minimum order.

From a boutique hotel’s in-room compendium to a five-hundred-cover wedding suite, every product on this page can be produced in your house colour, foil-stamped in your monogram, and printed on cotton paper from our northern-Italian mill.

We do not run a print farm. Every suite leaves the atelier touched by a person who can tell you the colour, the paper batch and the day it was finished — that is the only wholesale story we know how to tell, and it is the one our partners come back for.
