Artlite Office Supply Company Jumps for Eco-Friendly Product

Artlite, an Atlanta-based office supply company, has found a way to satisfy its customers’ hunger for more environmentally-friendly office products by offering TreeFrog copy paper. TreeFrog, produced by the Atlanta-based company TreeZero, is a 100 percent tree free copy paper, made from 100 percent recycled sugar-cane fiber (bagasse).

Artlite understands its customers’ desire for eco-friendly products. Many businesses are seeking “green” alternatives - from the office products they use to how these products are delivered. “Consumers are sure to embrace TreeFrog as a way to incorporate environmental sustainability into their daily business practices,” explains Artlite partner, Bert Light.

“By distributing TreeFrog, Artlite is providing companies the necessary resources to become environmentally responsible,” said Mike Nilan, TreeZero CEO. “Together, Artlite and TreeZero will provide local businesses with the resources they need to advance toward a sustainable future while maintaining regular business practices.”

TreeFrog is a premium 20 lb., 92 brightness multipurpose copy paper comparable to tree-derived paper. Available in 8.5” x 11” and constructed entirely of sugar cane fiber, TreeFrog is suited for everyday, high-volume use and can be recycled with traditional paper made from trees. TreeFrog utilizes the by-products of sugar cane, which is an abundant and renewable resource.

“Artlite is always looking for products that distinguish themselves from others. We believe TreeFrog far exceeds this, and we are proud to be associated with such a product,” continues Light.

TreeFrog will be available through Artlite beginning October 2011.

Paperly Wins Two Coveted ETHOS Awards for Product Innovation

Paperly LLC is excited to announce it has won two ETHOS Awards from the Direct Selling Association (DSA) for Product Innovation.  Paperly’s personalized iPhone case won within the Accessories subcategory while its personalized cutting board won within the Home Durables subcategory.

“We are honored to be an ETHOS Award recipient,” says Jay Rudman, Paperly’s co-owner and CEO.  “Our personalized iPhone case and cutting board have received rave reviews from Paperly’s Consultants, Hostesses and customers. We are very pleased the DSA has recognized that these products are true game-changers.”

Paperly's personalized iPhone case has quickly become one of its most talked about products because of Paperly’s ability to hyper-customize the case.  Customers can choose from 41 design/color combinations, 20 accent colors and 19 fonts. When mixed & matched, the final product truly reflects the customer’s unique personality.  The hard-sided case fits the iPhone 4/4s and allows for one line of personalization. Priced at $29.95 each, the case is a steal compared to more expensive, non-personalized cases.  Furthermore, Paperly can typically produce its personalized iPhone cases in 3-5 business days, an incredibly quick turnaround for a custom product.

Paperly’s personalized cutting boards further exemplify the hyper-customization of its product line. Made of tempered glass and measuring 11.75” in diameter, the cutting board is the perfect serving piece, kitchen decoration or personalized gift, especially given its incredibly reasonable price of $44.95.

To the best of Paperly's knowledge, no other direct selling company is offering iPhone cases or cutting boards, let alone ones that are completely customizable (i.e. designs, colors and fonts). Paperly believes these products – along with its other personalized products – will forever change the direct selling industry.
Paperly will receive its Awards during the DSA’s 2012 Annual Meeting on June 5, 2012.  Plus, Paperly is now a finalist to win the overall Product Innovation award.  Read more about the ETHOS Award winners at http://www.dsa.org/press/press_releases/?fa=view&docID=4951.
