Paper Mate pens and stationery

Paper Mate is a globally recognized American brand specializing in writing instruments and school supplies. The brand's history dates back to the early 1940s when Patrick J. Frawley acquired an ink chemist's formula, leading to the development of the first leak-proof ballpoint pen ink. This innovation revolutionized the industry and established Paper Mate as a household name.

Today, Paper Mate products are manufactured in multiple locations worldwide, including facilities in Mexico, Japan, and various locations in Asia, to satisfy its extensive international distribution network. The brand is known for iconic product lines like the Write Bros., Flair felt-tip pens, and the InkJoy series.

Since 2000, Paper Mate has been a primary brand under the Writing segment of Newell Brands. It continues to be a staple in offices and classrooms, benefiting from the extensive manufacturing and distribution capabilities of its parent corporation, which is headquartered in the United States and manages a diverse portfolio of consumer goods brands.
