It all started in the early 1940s, when Patrick J. Frawley, an entrepreneur, began the journey to find improved ballpoint pen ink that would change the industry. And so, a new pen called the Paper Mate® was born. This started Paper Mate®’s journey to becoming a leading global writing instrument brand with innovation at its core.
And as one of the world’s most recognized and trusted brands, Paper Mate® touches virtually every life stage – from the first day of school to jotting down a quick note to the grandkids.
Our Mission is to provide the broadest range of contemporary, affordable, dependable writing and correction products to assist in personal communication and self-expression.
