About us.

The Paper Trail.

From humble beginnings to industry leader

Ronnie Peters founded Peters Papers in 1963 to source and import paper products directly from mills around the globe. As customer demand grew, Peters Papers expanded to meet that demand.

In the ensuing decades, we developed an unparalleled distribution and delivery network, criss-crossing the nation. With warehouses across South Africa, and a dedicated fleet of delivery vehicles, Peters Papers delivers more paper products, more efficiently, than any merchant in the country.

From the trusty A4 paper used in home and office printing to the raw materials and specialised paper products required by industry for printing and packaging, South African business depends on Peters Papers for fast and reliable delivery of the finest paper products.

Over half a century, we have built the warehousing and delivery infrastructure that underlies our success as the nation’s largest paper merchant.
