Kelly Paper Store

Love this store! Such a nice selection of paper and very kind staff.

Definitely a hidden paper gem! It’s primarily a commercial store, but they also welcome the public.
This a fabulous place to go if you are working on programs, invitations, anything that requires speciality type paper (e.g. cover stock, linen paper). They carry the heavier stock of paper (cover stock) in various colors and brands, that places like Michael’s do not carry. This is not a spot for scrapbook type paper (printed, graphic type stock). They also have a good selection of envelopes and invitations.
The customer service here is exceptional. Samantha was very friendly and knew her stock. I happened to be standing right next to the exact paper I was looking for (pink 98lb cover stock with a nice shimmer) when she asked if she could help me. I was about to say yes, but saw the paper and pointed to it and said actually here it is. She mentioned that there was another similar type stock of paper up front, and she took me there. While I was looking at it she checked the computer and helpfully said that the paper I was originally looking at was cheaper per sheet than the packaged paper she had shown me to. I came back on the weekend for more paper, and she remembered me too!
The paper can be purchased in reams or by sheet. Love it!

I went to Kelly Paper for the first time today. They have a lot of card stock and business paper both in bulk and by the sheet. I got a few colors of card stock and labels for a craft project. They don’t have a lot of specialty/​art paper, but otherwise they have a good selection…
Bristol, linen, card stock, bond paper, laminating materials. Get yo project on.

We used to order bulk laser printing paper from here at my old office. I didn’t realize they had a selection of invitation paper and other card stock paper. When I went in the guy working there greeted me right away and asked me if I needed any help. Since it was a giant warehouse of paper I asked him for help to find a paper sample that I had with me.
He was really helpful and pointed me to a a good selection of different types of linen paper. I ended up grabbing a couple of sheets of paper to print some samples. When I walked to the register to pay, they said they wouldn’t charge me for just the couple of sheets I had. They were so nice!
The only thing about this place I didn’t like was that some of the envelope and paper selection were limited because there were only a couple of packages available.

the best selection for whatever Paper Supply you are looking for yet most importantly you are treated with the best customer support and knowledge of the store and products — look no further they will tackle any question and cater to all your needs — thanks for going that extra mile to meet my dead line — u Rock. One loyal customer and lifelong client — Joe

I would totally recommend this place for all your paper needs.
I came across this place on Unilocal and figured I would check it out. I went in search of cardstock and envelopes for my wedding invitations. It was my first and only stop in my search.
When we first walked in it was a little overwhelming, cuz it’s a big warehouse with just aisles and aisles of paper. And at first the staff didn’t seem that welcoming or eager to assist, but after a few questions and a better idea of what we needed they directed us to the exact style I was looking for and they even showed me alternatives at a lesser cost. I was even able to buy individual sheets (It wasn’t required to buy a whole ream to get what u need). In the end I purchased everything I needed for a super low price and I was very pleased. Should I ever need paper for a project in the future I will most definitely return to Kelly Paper.

Overall, we came here three or four times in a three month period. Each time, the staff was friendly and hepful. On a few of the occasions, Rowena helped me out. They didn’t have exactly what I needed, but she helped me find something similar that worked just as well. She had some great ideas! I had a really good overall experience at this location.

I buy all of my paper here for my business. This place has just about every kind of paper you can imagine. The staff is always extremely helpful and helps me load my truck every time. BTW if they don’t have something you need they can order it for you and usually have it by the next day!

If you are a graphic designer or anyone who can appreciate a wide variety of paper – this place is awesome! Looking for quality paper in the south bay is pretty tough. I’ve been searching at Frys and Micro Center where I had not had problems before, but since EPSON doesn’t make Heavy Weight Matte anymore (or they are just extremely hard to come by.) I found my way to Kelly Paper after several friends suggested it. Not only is it by my house, the gal that helped me (Rachel) was very helpful and polite when she had to excuse herself several times to answer the phone.
I wouldn’t wait last minute to find paper if you are particular, she did tell me she could make an order and it would arrive the next morning. Good information to know and I am so glad it is near me!

This location is in an industrial area. Don’t trust Google maps if you’re coming from west of the location — it just directed me onto the highway.
The paper selection is quite generous; however it is geared toward corporate clients. There’s plain cardstock and cotton paper for resumes and such, but not a lot of «hobby» paper. I was looking for some good luxurious cardstock for letterpress printing, and had trouble finding paper that was sufficiently thick and «fluffy.»
Rachel was super helpful in assisting me — she’s also one of the friendliest sales associates I have ever met. She went all up and down the aisles helping me look for the «fluffy» paper. I ended up going with 110# Strathmore Wove, which Rachel helped me choose. She even gave me a small discount when she rang me up, just for «being nice!»
I will definitely come back here to buy more paper.

Though I read reviews prior to visiting this place I wasn’t expecting a paper warehouse! It can be misleading, since it’s listed under cards and stationary! Especially since their section for «cards & stationary» is a small section against the wall with very limited invitation samplings.
But when it comes to types of paper may want to purchase for your ink jet or laser printer, it’s paper galore! They sell a lot of their items in bulk and they usually have a stack of samples right under it for you to feel and look at. They have a variety of sizes and colors, but if you are looking for something super fancy, delicate, or unique this is definitely not the place for it.

I also went here for wedding invitation paper and couldn’t decide which paper we wanted (gloss or mat). So we decided to buy a couple different kinds. BEFORE we bought it, we asked the manager what their return policy was. We were told as long as you have your receipt and it’s un-​opened, you can return it, no problem.
We ended using Kinko’s paper for the invitations, so I went back to return it a 2 weeks later. They only returned 90% of my money due to a 10% re-​stocking fee. When asked why I wasn’t told that when I asked originally, they rudely said they should actually be charging me 15%. Gee thanks, I guess I’m getting a deal.
So I asked where it says they charge 10%. The manager basically started walking away and said over his shoulder, I don’t know it might be on the back of the receipt.
Bottom line, only buy here if you are SURE you’re going to use it, but I found a better selection of cheaper paper online. Matching colors is the only tricky part.
Hopefully you never have to work with the manager, he’s pretty rude. I won’t be going there ever again.

My first time going to Dunder Mifflin in real life. Although the workers were probably not as entertaining as Michael Scott, at least they were nice. I arrived at 5:30 and the store closes at 5. I was on the verge of walking back to my car, major failage when the guy came up and opened the door. As sweetly as I could, I asked if they had purple 8×11 cardstock and they said yes. I was thinking I’ll just come back the next day, but they actually let me in. I promised I wouldn’t take long and just wanted to check something out. Although registers were already closed for the night, they said they can manually write out a receipt if I had a credit card.
I needed two packages of purple cardstock and asked when the earliest they can have it, since I was a bit worried that they won’t be able to ship it in time. Lucky for me, they said 8am the next morning! Great customer service and great turn around time. Beat that, Dunder Mifflin!

Not the greatest selection, but it’s adequeate if you’re not super-​picky. Maybe 2 stars for selection. I guess it’s a great selection for business purposes, but not for invitations, etc.
I’m rating 4 stars because the staff is really nice and the several times I’ve been there, I have NEVER had to pay for anything! They tell me it’s a «sample» (a 100 sheets is a sample?) so it’s free of charge!!!

This is a good place for DIY folks who aren’t picky and for large scale office purchasers. Their prices are reasonable, and much less than specialty paper stores. Note also the selection here from a DIY perspective is much less — however, if you’re willing to sacrifice selection for pricing, this is the place for you.
I especially love that Kelly Paper is right down the street from me. They have their own parking lot, and they are never busy so you can always get help finding what you need (or quickly figuring out they don’t have it).
Definitely worth a stop unless you’re only into super expensive, high end paper items. If you’re coming for a DIY project (crafts, wedding, etc.) and you’re super picky, don’t bother coming here.

I write this only from the perspective of a wedding-​invitation-​maker, not an office-​paper-​buyer, which is clearly Kelly Paper’s real business. Dunder Mifflin warehouse, anyone?
I’m amazed the other Unilocalers found this store to be helpful at finding their invitation papers, since the employees didn’t offer any help at all (kind of looked at us like we were out of place) and the selection is tiny!!! Just a single half-​wall has wedding-​style papers, and they are all shrinkwrapped so you can’t even feel them.
I will say their prices were 25% cheaper for a certain specialty cardstock that I also spied at Xpedx, which has a larger selection plus inspiration boards for wedding invitations. But for certain, my trip to Kelly Paper left me more dejected and discouraged than before about my DIY invitation making. Of course, the only reason I was looking at these stores at all was that Paper Source doesn’t carry the paper color I’m looking for.

I bought a lot of my paper for my wedding invitations and other assorted DIY projects from Kelly Paper. I didn’t shop around much, so I don’t know how their prices compare to other local stores. I bought some cover weight Stardream metallic paper, red linen cover weight paper, and lightweight linen paper here. They didn’t have as many different sized envelopes as they do online, so I ended up purchasing my envelopes and some other paper products from
and
, two places that I would also recommend.
They are only open Monday-​Friday from 7:30am-5pm and Saturday from 9am-​1pm.

I went in not entirely knowing what I needed for our invitations we were making. The guy working was real helpful in introducing me to my different options and printing needs.
I needed some samples just for test. When I went to pay, he even helped me out real good. We went back and bought lots more paper for our wedding invites.
There you go, a + review!

I was in search of paper for my friend’s wedding invite project. I came over here after making a visit to Xpedx to compare prices and stock. Basically, I found the same items here as I did at Xpedx. There was a $ 2 difference in price and Xpedx was overall cheaper.
I knew what I wanted, so I didn’t really need assistance, but I got better help over at Xpedx than at Kelly. Over at Xpedx, the staff asked if I needed help and spent time with me looking for paper. At Kelly, the gal at the counter acknowledged us coming into the store, but didn’t ask if we needed assistance on her own. She wasn’t rude or anything bad just something I observed in the service.
Good place to start looking for that right paper. Not a place to come if you’re looking to order wedding invitations or if you need unique paper.

If you need paper in bulk this would be a good place to go. There’s nothing here that’ll spark creativity cause there’s hardly any kind of printed paper but if you’re looking for plain paper in an assortment of colors here’s your place.
I come here here to browse the loose paper sale for home-​made invitations and greeting cards. People behind the counter are helpful and knowledgeable about their paper. I think the other location in San Jose might have more selction in invitation kits but this location is closer to where I live. You can see it off the 101.
