Hachette Book Group (HBG) announces that Paperblanks, the design-led journal, planner and stationery brand, will join HBG’s sales and distribution slate on January 4, 2027.

Under the new agreement, HBG will manage sales and distribution for Paperblanks’ full product range across the United States and the Caribbean, servicing all retail and wholesale accounts. 

“We have long admired the artistry and quality behind Paperblanks’ journals and stationery,” said Ed Spade, SVP of Commercial Operations, Hachette Book Group. “It’s a brand built on real care, and one we’re proud to welcome.”

In welcoming Paperblanks, HBG adds an acclaimed stationery brand to its distinguished US Distribution client list, which includes Kids Can Press, Phaidon, Lonely Planet, and Quarto. Across these relationships, HBG offers both sales and distribution and distribution-only services, working closely with each client to support its goals in the US market.

Paperblanks has been part of Hachette UK since 2022. The new arrangement consolidates the brand’s US sales and distribution under HBG.

“Paperblanks joining HBG’s selling and distribution network is a pivotal moment for our expansion plans in the US market,” said Graham Conway, CEO of Paperblanks. “HBG is a best-in-class operator, and this collaboration will not only drive growth but will also help us reach more customers over the coming years.” 

Spade added, “We’re delighted to bring Paperblanks into our sales and distribution program and are excited to support the brand’s continued growth in the US.”
