In order to provide value to paper, printing, and design professionals, LCI Paper offers two types of wholesale programs. Both offer exclusive trade discounts that are not available on LCI Paper’s retail website, helping industry professionals offer their clients unique, premium paper while keeping costs competitive.
- Standard Wholesale – Site-wide trade discount on all items, blank or printed, great for businesses who need wholesale stationery supplies such as cards, envelopes, or pre-cut paper.
- Wholesale Mill-Size Paper – Deeply discounted trade pricing ONLY ON full reams of mill (folio)-size specialty paper, great for businesses who need large volumes of folio-size paper (approximately 28×40-inch sheets).
