Wholesale questions, answered

Where do I see trade prices and minimum orders?

All trade pricing and minimum order quantities are on our Faire storefront, carnivalpapers.faire.com. It keeps everything in one place — pricing, ordering, invoices and reorders.

What is wet strength tissue paper?

It's a specialist white tissue that holds together when wet. It stays beautifully translucent in the light and takes painting, dyeing and layering without falling apart — so it works where ordinary tissue tears. It's white only, available in large sheets and studio sizes. (It's stronger when wet, but not waterproof or tear-proof.)

Who buys it?

Lantern makers, printmakers, sculptors, mixed media artists, workshop leaders and set & prop makers — a creative community that buys and restocks throughout the year.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes. We dispatch quickly from the UK and currently ship to the UK, EU, USA, Canada and Australia.

Is the coloured tissue wet strength too?

No — our coloured tissue is a standard tissue in a vivid palette, perfect for gift wrap, displays, paper flowers and craft. Wet strength is our hero white tissue, sold separately.
