About Us
About ThunderBolt Paper
ThunderBolt Paper started for one reason: paper should come in the size you actually need.
Restaurants want menus cut to 5.5 x 8.5. Crafters want odd sizes no office store carries. Most paper companies don't sell those.
We do.
Who We Are
ThunderBolt Paper is a family-owned paper supply company in Nampa, Idaho. We've been working with paper for over 30 years. Every sheet we sell is made in the United States, and our cutting and packing happen at our Idaho warehouse.
We carry cardstock, parchment, linen, vellum bristol, chipboard, kraft, and colored paper. Tell us the type and size you want. We'll cut it and ship it flat to your door.
What Makes Us Different
Custom cutting. Most paper sites sell 8.5 x 11 and call it a day. We cut to almost any size you ask for. Restaurants order 5.5 x 8.5 for menus, crafters bring us whatever odd sizes they need.
USA-made. The mills we work with are all based in the United States.
Shipped flat. Every order goes out with corner protectors and a stiff chipboard backing. Your paper shows up clean and ready to print.
Any quantity. We sell 25 sheets to home crafters and 25,000 sheets to restaurants. Same care either way.
