CPC’s 2020 Paper Program is now live! Order your paper through CPC and support your local service cooperative. There are two ways to order:
– Order online through Express, or
– Download, fill-out, and email back a 2020 Cut Paper Order Form [MN Form] [SD Form]

Sign into Express!

Full details; including:

SMART users – Please add Paper 101 as a new vendor using code 1000037

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can we mix colors in one case of paper? Example: 5 reams of blue and 5 reams of gray
No, you cannot mix reams of colors in a case.

Can we have odd number of cases of paper? Example: 40 case of white and need 2 case of color or do we need to have a total of 80 cases so it makes a full pallet (40 on each pallet)?
The minimum is 40 cases to make a full pallet. For example, on White Copy Paper you may order 80 cases and 14 cases of color paper. This would make 2 pallets of white and 1 pallet with color paper.

What is the paper deadline?
The order deadline is June 19, 2020

Is there freight?
No, as long as you meet the 40 case minimum. If you need your shipment ASAP we will need to reach out to the paper vendor for a freight quote.
