Swastik Paper Products

If you drive down Ajwa Road, you’ll find us easily enough. Swastik Paper Products has been here for years, right where the road starts to get a bit wider. The smell of paper and ink is something you never really get out of your clothes. It’s a bit of a cluttered place, honestly. We have stacks of rolls and cut sheets piled up almost to the ceiling in the back. Sometimes it’s hard to walk through the aisles without bumping into something. We use some old machines that make a lot of noise, but they still work fine for what we need. It’s mostly family running things here. My nephew helps with the heavy lifting and my sister keeps the books, though her handwriting is hard to read. We don’t have a website or anything like that. People just know to come by when they need something specific. We deal with a lot of local shops who’ve been buying from us since my father started this. The floor is usually covered in scrap bits of paper by the end of the day. We sweep it up every evening before locking up the gate. It’s steady work. We don't try to be anything we aren't. Just a local spot making paper goods. If the machines break, we fix them ourselves and keep going. That’s just the way it is here on Ajwa Road.
