Stationery · Iowa City
Cotton paper, ink, pencils, and envelopes.
Paper Moth is a counter at 24 S Clinton Street. You name the sheet, the weight, and the count. We count twice and wrap the paper flat. We do not print, and we do not make wedding suites.

The room behind the counter is the press: boards and weight, so a stack stays flat. It is not a printing press. Prices are on the tickets in the drawers. They are not listed here. We read the ticket before we take payment.
Monday to Friday, 10:00–18:00. Saturday, 10:00–17:00. Sunday the door is locked. The full week, including the last count of the day, is on the hours page. The door is on the east side of South Clinton, in the block between Iowa Avenue and Washington Street. How to walk there.
Four desk notes record what Iowa City weather does to cotton and to ink: July sun, a January freeze, the March thaw, and a week when the furnace runs dry. They are notes from the counter, not a guide to anything else.
A note on this site is not an order. For a count we can wrap, write the desk, email desk@papermoth.shop, or call (319) 555-0194 while the door is open.
