Kelly Paper Store

I’ve visited this store a few times debating about how to make my wedding invites. Scott has always been there to help me and answer all questions. He has the BEST customer service skills I’ve ever experienced. More people should be like him! I’d recommend this Kelly Paper store to ANYONE in a heart beat just because Scott was such a pleasure to work with. He goes above and beyond to help you out. I’d recommend every place hire more people like Scott. He has more than set the bar on what excellent Customer Service means.

I called just before they stop answering calls (6:00pm) and Thao was very helpful.
Thanks so much for answering my questions without my feeling rushed.

Very helpful staff. I needed some fancier card stock paper for wedding invitations, but wasn’t sure exact which ones to buy, so I came to this Kelly Paper location to buy a small number of sheets of various types. But after I explained my situation to the staff member who helped me, he immediately said that he would give me the sheets as free samples. This helped me tremendously in deciding which paper to eventually use (for which I came back to this store the following week to buy a full pack). Wonderful service!

I am getting married and I have been to almost every craft and paper source place. I was on the hunt for my save the date envelopes and decided to walk into Kelly Paper. The store is more like a warehouse with rows of paper in boxes with small labels so I immediately asked for assistance and explained to the clerk exactly what I was looking for. Stephen Louis was very accommodating and helpful. Although the store did not have enough envelopes in stock for what I was looking for, he provided me with other options. Also, he allowed me to take home different sheets of paper to test out before purchasing the entire pack. He was knowledgeable and friendly. I was happy with my choice of purchases and I will be returning to purchase paper. Thank you for the testers!

My favorite paper store… always has great deals and a good selection of cool paper for invitations and other projects. They sell individual sheets too and the staff is always helpful.

Very helpful and really nice staff.

Large selection of paper. Lots of colors, weights, prices, etc.
I found it fun to wander through and explore all the different choices.

First time visitor. The person working there was very helpful and friendly. LOTS of paper.
I was looking for about 50 sheets of cream-​colored cardstock and matching A6 envelopes. There were several options. After discussion with the person on duty, I settled on a color, only to be told I had to purchase 250 each of the cardstock and envelopes. Way more than I needed, so I had to say no. I assume that’s not the case for all paper types, but it was for all of my options. Left empty handed, unfortunately.

The manager was really nice and helpful. Overwhelming if you know nothing about paper, like me, but just ask for help. Remember that turn-​around for large sheets is usually one day or more.

Not a bad place to start at if you’re printing and making your own wedding invitations. I bought pearlized green vellum paper here (50 sheets for $ 20) but it turned out that
had it for cheaper. But it is very helpful to go to the store and feel the paper sheets so that you can get an idea of what you want to work with.
I like going straight to their bargain bins because you can find packs of paper in there from $ 1.99 and up. I bought a pack of 25 sheets of light brown cardstock paper to use for our Save-​the-​Date cards for only $ 5.40 out the door.
I went to both Mountain View and San Jose’s locations and they’re both the same. I really liked the manager at San Jose’s location though. I believe his name was Claude. He was super helpful and patient, and walked around the warehouse with me to give me tips on what I should look for.
The warehouse is pretty big and things are pretty spread out, so alott at least half an hour to browse through their aisles.

Amazing /​bewildering /​huge assortment of papers, but they don’t carry the main brand names from the major inkjet manufacturers like Epson, HP, Canon etc.
I was just looking for regular paper that doesn’t bleed when I use my inkjet, I found the rep was very helpful showing me several options.
They even had samples that I could test on before committing to a whole pack.

«Do you need anything? Because I want to close early today.»
Read: I’m lazy and I want to go home, so just go.
It was a Saturday morning and I was looking for paper. We went 30mins before closing (1pm??). It was the first time we went to Kelly Paper and were quite overwhelmed with the selection. Yeah, I needed help. Hm.
Bugger.

Great selection of paper. It seems more for corporate and business use than for crafts but you can definitely find some useful paper here for that too. I thought 2 out of the 3 employees there were very helpful and friendly. Plenty of parking in back.
They actually do have a wedding section that even includes guestbooks, flutes, invitations. Very limited selection however.

Lots of papers to choose from and relatively helpful employees to point you in the right direction. When I was planning my wedding, I needed some specialty papers that they didn’t carry (stardream), but I was able to find other papers that worked well with my favorite and worked on it from there.
Easy to get to and easy to park — yay! Hours are funky though, definitely double-​check before you go.

Huge selection of papers, though they are mostly the 8.5×11 variety. They also have some pre-​cut blank cards and art papers, as well as printing supplies like solvents and inks. The staff is super-​helpful, and even talked me out of buying an expensive, 5 gallon container of name-​brand solvent, when a smaller (cheaper) container of their house brand was equivalent. This is the first place I go for any letterpress project I am starting.

Love the paperstore, huge place with tons of colored paper, different
sizes, different weights, different textures. Mostly for copying
needs. They do wedding invitations also. Staff is friendly and
helpful, showing you where the items are and carrying it for you to
the register. Great Customer service. Parking is fine, they have
their own lot, corner of Middlefield and San Antonio.
