Paper Mache Tiger

Wholesale suppliers shape the city’s retail shelves, and Paper Mache Tiger operates quietly in that space. Behind the unmarked door at 217 Centre St #4, New York, NY 10013, the business stocks everything from greeting cards to desk accessories, all designed for shops that need small quantities without large minimums. Orders move quickly once placed, a detail that matters when stock runs low mid-season. The phone rings at (219) 2643—prefix the area code when calling. Below Canal Street, the streets narrow and the storefronts shift from restaurants to trade-only spaces. Paper Mache Tiger keeps a low profile, but its location between Little Italy and Chinatown makes deliveries simple for downtown buyers. A map pinpoints the exact unit: directions here. The neighborhood hums with delivery trucks by day, emptying into quiet evenings when the roll gates stay down.
