The Papyrus logo is a distinct pink hummingbird and can be found on a variety of Papyrus products. Other brands sold in Papyrus stores included American Greetings and Carlton Cards. Through the NIQUEA.D brand, Papyrus sold a selection of gifts, jewelry, and other fashion accessories. The stores also offered products like journals, note cards, gift wrap, and customized invitations. The chain is perhaps best known for its high-end greeting cards that often incorporated items like buttons, fabric, leather, zippers, glitter, and other embellishments. Papyrus sold a variety of luxury paper products including a selection of stationery and greeting cards. 30 of their closed stores were picked up by Paper Source by early March 2020. On January 17, 2020, liquidation sales began in all stores under the management of Gordon Brothers. On January 16, 2020, it was announced that all 260 remaining Papyrus and other Schurman retail stores would be closing. A number of these stores were eventually rebranded as Papyrus stores. In 2009, Papyrus's parent company, Schurman Retail Group, purchased all 346 American Greetings retail shops. By 2005, the company operated around 146 Papyrus retail shops. At that time, there were around 37 Papyrus stores nationwide, and the company was bringing in $10 million per year. In 1991, Dominique Schurman became the CEO of Schurman Fine Papers and Papyrus. In the 1980s, the company began domestic production of Papyrus products. Over the next five years, more Papyrus stores opened around the United States, and the company soon began selling franchises. The original store was opened for less than $1,000 and featured a variety of fine art-inspired greeting cards, postcards, and other paper products. It began as the retail wing of Schurman Fine Papers (now, the Schurman Retail Group). The first Papyrus retail shop was opened in 1973 by Margrit Schurman in Berkeley, California.
