Cheever Intro Video

History

With roots dating back to the late 1800's in Cambridge, MA with John S. Cheever as the founder.  At the time they where a wholesaler of specialty paper goods selling to the local merchants and the government for over 60 years.

In 1968 the business was sold to Paul E. Cullinane. The son of the new owner, in 1971 decided to try moving into the retail market. He began by opening a discount store in a vacant room within the warehouse in Hingham MA. Here he sold a limited assortment of bulk paper items such as pizza boxes and paper bags.

In 1975 this business started to take off which led Cullinane to open two retail outlets south of Boston. This was the start of the Paperama chain of stores in the New England area. After several expansion and several new stores, Paperama fell on hard times due to the box store approach to retailing starting to take hold. Paperama filed for bankruptcy in the late 80's.

As for the original wholesale business started by John S. Cheever, it was still active selling to consistent customers. At this time a new group of owners took control  and started Cheever Specialty Products. This was the start of the supply and distribution of Specialty Paper, Film and Tape throughout New England and their key offering of holding inventory for their customers.

In 2014 Cheever Specialty Products changed hands to its present owner.  The name was changed to Cheever Specialty Paper & Film to better reflect its brand and offerings. Our main office resides in Wakefield MA.
