Papyrus was named Best New Specialty Retail Concept of 2009 in a recent industry poll sponsored by Airport Revenue News magazine. The Papyrus line of high quality paper goods – greeting cards, wrapping paper, stationery, bookmarks, etc. – is available in all Hudson News stores throughout the US and Canada.

The word Papyrus comes from the earliest form of paper crafted from the Papryus plant in ancient times. Papyrus was founded in the family kitchen of Marcel and Margrit Schurman in 1950. Inspired by a love of fine art, they had a vision for products of uncompromising quality which provided the starting point from which genuine personal connections are made.

Under the leadership of Marcel's and Margrit's daughter, Dominique Schurman, Papyrus is charting a future shaped by modern, relevant and elegant design.

Papyrus believes in embracing all that life has to offer. Through their unique paper and giftware products, they elevate everyday living and moments in life's journey to become joyful events. Their quality greeting cards and luxury paper goods are less stationery and more visual statements – objects of beauty that convey a sense of self and punctuate the way one experiences life.

Papyrus offers a pleasant and visually stimulating environment that encourages browsing and inspires customers to enjoy the sentiments, beauty and color of the products offered. Papyrus strives to engage and inspire their customers through ever-changing features and themes throughout the year while offering an ongoing fresh, fashion forward assortment of a diverse range of products within their primary categories.

Papyrus offers customers an ever-expanding array of products, including greeting cards, gift wraps, gift bags, stationery, pens, note cards, journals, and other unique products.
