Why Stationery is a wholesale market for paper goods. Independent US makers list the notepads, list pads, cards and calendars they design, and shops order them by the piece from 50 up. Every run is made to order by the maker who designed it. The market is run by Crater Ink Studios LLC in Felton, Pennsylvania.

Pick the line and the run
Every listing shows its sizes, its minimum and the per-piece price up front, and the price steps down as the quantity rises. What you see on the listing is what prints.
The maker proofs it
Your order lands with the maker, who checks the run and comes back to you before anything is printed. Each shop sets its own proofing and production times, shown on the listing.
It prints and it ships
Printed at 300 DPI with full bleed, trimmed to size, and shipped from the maker's own shop. Checkout is per maker, so a cart with several makers becomes several orders.
A wholesale run goes to press just for your order, so the deadline that matters is the press. A wholesale order is fully refundable until the seller starts production, even after proofs have gone back and forth, and non-refundable once the run begins. Your order page shows when that happened. Damaged, defective, wrong and lost orders are covered either way. The returns and cancellation policy spells out the whole thing.
