Carter Paper & Packaging

Good morning everyone!

Unfortunately, Carter Paper is CLOSED today due to power outage. We hope everyone is safe and has a great weekend.

Today, we want to take a moment to shine a spotlight on our Pam! 🌷

She plays a HUGE role in the upkeep and beautification of our buildings' grounds.
Pam has spent many hours pulling w**ds, planning, prepping, and planting to increase the beauty of the landscape, plants, and flowers you see as you pass through our little piece of Peoria.
From trimming evergreens and pruning rose bushes to pulling and killing w**ds, to amending the soil so plants have the nutrition they need to grow and bloom, Pam does it all!
But it’s not just her hard work outside that stands out. Pam is also a quality human and a great friend to us all. 💕
She takes great joy not just in sharing her love for plants, flowers, and gardening, but also in taking care of Olive, her dog, baking sweet treats for her family, and trying to live in a way that shares some of her true joy into the lives of those around her every single day (something she is very successful at).
Pam, Carter Paper is incredibly thankful for your dedication and the beauty you bring to our environment every day. Keep beeing 🐝amazing! 🌼✨

Happy National Gardening Week!

Get outside and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine, even if your thumb is not green, you still may get at least a plant or two to grow.

With all of the ugliness in the world and on social media, a hobby that gets you outside and yields yummy food, or beautiful plants and flowers is a win-win!

And if you need bio-degradable w**d barrier, we have corrugated cardboard sheets and kraft paper rolls that will do the trick!

Carter Paper is SO excited to announce our involvement with the 2026 River City Pride Fest happening July 18th! While you walk around and enjoy the acceptance and inclusivity of Pride Fest, don’t forget to stop by our booth for a fun activity and a sticker (and maybe a pen or two). We can't wait to see you there!🌈

With summer coming quickly we are all probably looking for ways to make our days easier. Why not pack your to go meals in compostable containers. No plastic + compostable = less waste hanging around for years!
Give us a call, an email, or best of all, stop in an visit!
We will help you find exactly what you need!
We have thousands of items on hand and access to many many more!

Is everyone warm enough yet?!?
Summer heat has hit central Illinois this week!
The weather is bright and beautiful, perfect for grilling out and having a picnic.

Carter Paper & Packaging has got you covered! We’re excited to offer a great selection of products, including foil rolls, wraps, pans, paper food trays, to-go containers, plastic stretch wrap, and biodegradable single-use items like bowls and utensils. We also have hand sanitizers and durable wipers!

If we do not have an item you want in stock, we can probably get it; give us a call!

Today at Carter Paper, we are choosing to celebrate! Not a big surprise there!

Did you bring your lunch for Brown Bag It Thursday? Remember, those brown paper bags are reusable to a point, and then they are 100% compostable! We at Carter Paper are always looking for one more way to help the environment, and planting a pollinator garden to encourage bees, butterflies, and other helpful insects is something everyone can do! If you have a large yard or a single flower pot, you can make a difference! Your used paper bags even make decent w**d block for your garden beds and will naturally decay! 🌼🐝

And, since we are a paper company, we are also excited and a little obligated to celebrate National Memo Day and National Notebook Day! 📓🛍️ If you're in the market for brown paper bags, sticky notes, notebooks, or any of thousands of other items, CPP has got you covered!

Stop by or give us a call for pricing today.
