The Times’s motto is “All the News That’s Fit to Print,” but an unusual dog story often made the grade decades ago. Articles about dogs with peculiar habits, strange skills and incredible achievements appeared regularly in the newspaper of record. This eco-friendly wrapping paper is a homage to man’s best friend and a newspaper’s favorite subject.
This colorful wrapping paper was inspired by the original designs of Lou Silverstein, the previous art director for The Times, who developed patterned newspaper pages that were mailed to potential advertisers. The spirit of these original illustrations were interpreted by Paulina Ho, a designer and artist based in New York City.
Our eco-friendly wrapping paper is printed on recycled newsprint with soy-based ink by local newspaper presses, utilizing less resources and energy while supporting local businesses. Each package includes four sheets of double-sided gift wrapping paper. Paper arrives flat and folded in a plastic-free PLA bag made of plant starch. The full sheet size is 21.5" x 34."
It is made by Wrappily, a women-owned business based in Hawaii that was founded in 2013 to answer a global need for a smarter, more sustainable gift wrap.
