Our Policies

Welcome to Paperism Designs

Paperism Designs is an online marketplace celebrating original artwork, surface patterns, and beautifully crafted paper products.

Every design on this site is the intellectual property of its artist and is protected by copyright law. We kindly ask that you respect the creativity and hard work behind every pattern. Let our work inspire you, but please don't copy it. We take intellectual property seriously and will protect the work of our artists when necessary.

Interested in licensing a design for commercial use? We'd love to hear from you. Please contact lisa@paperismdesigns.com, and we'll connect you with the artist.

Paperism Designs is built around a collective of talented artists who also happen to be dear friends. If you're interested in joining our creative community, send your portfolio to art@paperismdesigns.com. We review every submission thoughtfully and will be in touch if there's a good fit.

 

Custom Orders

By using our website, creating an account, uploading content, or placing an order, you agree to these Terms of Service.

We believe creativity deserves respect. Please only upload artwork, photographs, or other content that you own or have permission to use. You are responsible for ensuring your content does not infringe upon the rights of others.

For large or color-critical projects, we'll provide a proof for your approval before production. Once approved, that proof becomes the production standard. We also recommend ordering enough paper to complete your project at one time. Just as with fine fabrics, slight variations between print runs can occur. The good news? We print with archival, pigment-based inks designed to provide exceptional color and longevity.

You always retain ownership of the artwork you create. By uploading your designs, you grant Paperism Designs the limited rights necessary to produce your order and, with your permission, display your work in our gallery. If you'd prefer your project remain private, simply let us know.

We are committed to maintaining a welcoming, respectful creative community. We reserve the right to remove content or suspend accounts that infringe on intellectual property, violate these Terms, or contain unlawful or inappropriate material. As a general rule, if it would make your grandmother blush, it's probably not the right fit.

 

Returns & Refunds

Because every Paperism Designs order is custom printed specifically for you, we cannot accept returns or exchanges for ordering mistakes, buyer's remorse, or the natural variations that make fine paper unique.

If your order arrives damaged, defective, or we've made an error, we'll make it right. Please contact us within 7 days of delivery with your order number and photographs of the issue. Depending on the situation, we'll replace your order or issue a refund.

Our goal is simple: we want you to love what arrives at your door, and we'll always stand behind the quality of our work.

 

Shipping Policy

Every order is carefully rolled and packaged in sturdy protective tubes to ensure it arrives safely. While flat shipping may seem appealing, it requires oversized packaging that dramatically increases shipping costs.

 

There is a $4 handling fee in addition to your shipping cost that covers the cost of the tubes and packing materials.

When your paper arrives, gently remove it from the tube and lay it flat on a clean, dry surface. Allowing it to relax overnight will help it naturally flatten, making it easier to work with and ensuring the best results for your project.

If your package arrives damaged or you receive the wrong item, please contact us within 7 days of delivery. We'll make it right as quickly as possible.

 

Share Your Masterpiece!

One of our favorite parts of Paperism Designs is seeing what you create.

Share your finished project in our gallery and inspire fellow paper lovers around the world.

After all, your masterpiece deserves an audience that's a little bigger than your cat.
