Paper
Capers International was started in 1988 as a subcontractor for a major
exporter of ladies' fashion accessories and novelty gift items. It was
originally based in Quezon City, but as it grew it was moved to Antipolo
City, where it could utilize a larger space to organize the raw
materials, process the plastic injection-molding and accommodate a
larger grouped of in-house artisans. Nurturing the company with a
commitment towards product design, artisan welfare and product
efficiency, the proprietor Arlene Gaddi Maceda and her younger brother
Arthur Flores Gaddi are committed to making the world a better place;
and they believe with Paper Capers they have.
Paper
Capers offers a range of handmade paper mache products, corrugated
cardboard photo frames, paper Christmas trees, and many other
interesting products. The majority of the raw materials for these
products are sourced from trash pickers and assorted junk dealers that
collect the plastics and papers they need from dump sites. The raw
materials are collected, cleaned and separated by color and type before
they are recomposed into the amazing array of home decor and novelty
items offered by Paper Capers.
Paper Capers is a 23 year old hub
for happy skilled and multitalented individuals. They enjoy sharing a
passion for creativity, a knack for beauty, and a mindset of goodness.
They are steered by a familial love for planet earth and each other.
