Since 1924, Brame has been providing quality products and quality services to a broad customer base.
Our People Make The Difference!

Not Just Paper is part of Brame Specialty Company, a local family owned business that has been open since November, 1989. The Brame organization wanted to offer their vast inventory to the public and we opened our doors at 1010 West Main Street, Durham. In 1996, we added an extensive line of recycled paper products. This has enhanced our already diversified inventory and given us an avenue of environmentally friendly products that are the focus of so many people today. As more “Green” products become available we strive to find ones that are competitively priced to meet your needs.
Office & School Supplies from paper clips to storage cabiets. Special orders are always welcome with quick, convenient turn-around time.
Recycled papers & unique alternatives for Invitations and Announcements. Stationery & Printer papers for business & personal correspondence, and limited Printing Services are available.
Party & Catering Supplies for every occasion from pretty patterns & seasonal designs to bright and colorful solids, plus trays & containers to carry your goodies in.
Gift wraps, Gift bags, & all the Ribbons, Bows & Colorful fillers that you are looking for.

Basic Art & Crafts Supplies from non-toxic paints, construction paper, scissors, glitter, glue & lots of idea books for every occasion.
