Paper mills have been affected by the global pandemic and output has been down.

One of the big announcements recently is the paper manufacturer Boise has announced they are discontinuing manufacture of all colored copy paper, including the Fireworx line of papers. The Copy Center is working to ensure we keep our regular supply from other suppliers, but due to the current state of the paper industry and supply chain issues, periodically we may not have certain colors, weights, or styles available. We will consult with you if substitutions need to be made on your project. There may also be some price increases in paper. We appreciate your patience as we work through this issue.
