ET CETERA PAPERS

Our Story

Did you ever meet someone who had a real knack for discovering new things? You know, a talent for finding that one of a kind, that proverbial needle in a haystack. Or, even better, has an eye for identifying trends before they become well-known?

Our Founder, Ty Tomak, is just that sort of visionary. He’s far too modest to toot his own horn, but heck, as great as our staff is, there’d be no company without his amazing eye for the new and unusual.

You see, Ty is somewhat of a legend in the paper industry. For decades, companies throughout the US have sought him out to not only identify upcoming trends in color and patterns and textures and finishes, but they’ve commissioned him to invent and develop altogether new papers with hues and finishes never before imagined. And he’s been so successful that he built our company, ARC Paper, around that special talent. ARC Paper has supplied specialty papers to some of the most prominent companies you can think of.

Et Cetera Papers was born.

ARC Papers is proud to announce the launch of our newest family member, Et Cetera Papers. Our previous ARC Crafts specialty brand, seen in Jo-Anns and a wide variety of creative publications, designer sites, retail and craft blogs, has all grown up. We’re evolving into a much wider-range of products to better satisfy your diverse and creative tastes. So keep an eye out for our newest brand, Et Cetera Papers (this replaces our previous ARC Crafts brand).

We’re assembling a unique collection of papers and products that are geared specifically to help folks create that special project, whether it be a scrapbook, or craft, or handmade invitation, or—well, you name it.

Et Cetera Papers is all about versatility, inspiration, and bringing you unusually good products. We like hearing that our customers have so much fun using our products, so we simply aspire contributing to your artistic creations!

We look forward to developing an enriched experience that you crave. And, promise to continue creating those user-friendly DIY ideas you’ve come to love on a weekly basis in our updated blog. We have created a brand new easy to use website where you’ll be able to shop, find out about the newest craft ideas, and share it all with your friends and family.

And, many thanks to all of you who’ve shared with us over the years an abundance of creative inspiration and your own personal stories!

We promise to help creative folks like you find those uncommonly good products which enrich and inspire our lives.
