December 20, 2004 - Loved ones can take wrapping gifts to a new
level with the launch of PicturePaper®, which lets anyone create unique picture
gift wrapping paper with a few clicks of the mouse. PicturePaper.com allows
users to pick from an assortment of wrapping papers for any number of occasions
and incorporate a personal image into the gift wrap - and have the personalized
paper roll delivered in just a few days.
PicturePaper.com is a fully-enabled website that allows visitors to upload a
personal photo, original artwork or business graphic; chose a design; customize
the image to the chosen wrapping paper and, with the click of the button, send
it to a specialty printer that produces a six- to 25-foot-long roll of
high-quality wrapping paper.

How PicturePaper's® personalized wrapping paper system
works
The website is entirely interactive, driven by an advanced, specially-designed
web site application that provides individual sessions of interactivity for
each customer. Customers can upload a picture and place it in their chosen
wrapping paper style, select the best view and see a representative sample. The
entire uploading, fine-tuning and ordering process takes only a few minutes.
Each order to www.PicturePaper.com goes
directly to the company's printing headquarters in Virginia, where the unique
gift wrapping paper is individually printed on a high-end, six-color printer
that produces wrapping paper of near-photographic quality. The order is then
inspected by hand before it is rolled and prepared for shipping.
PicturePaper.com uses professional designs under license from one of the
leading retail suppliers of gift wrap, Shamrock Corporation. Owner of
Innisbrook Wraps and Shamrock Gift Wrap, the company is known for its quality
wrapping paper and innovative designs created by talented and creative graphic
artists.
Most orders are printed within two days and delivered between one and three days
later. Customers can track the printing and shipping of their order through the
website.
Inspired beginnings
PicturePaper.com is a family-operated business conceived by the Rothermels a
year ago. "We envisioned from the start the smiles and fond tears this would
bring to people," said Chuck Rothermel. "The personalized wrapping paper is a
unique gift all by itself: To see that special memory reappear on a carefully
chosen gift is a delightful surprise. My entire family is so proud that we've
launched this business and website that will enable anyone with an internet
connection and a digital image to do just that - bring a smile, bring a tear,
bring a laugh. It's a great way for people to put personality back into the
gifts they give."

About PicturePaper.com
PicturePaper.com is part of the South River Trading Company, a family-owned
and operated business. PicturePaper.com was founded by Chuck and Pat Rothermel
after a family holiday turned nostalgic as the children prepared to disperse
across the country following the gathering. Aside from the printing, which
occurs at company headquarters in Ashburn, Va., the business is entirely
web-based, allowing all three now-grown children to participate no matter where
they live. Chuck Rothermel formerly spent more than 30 years in the technology
industry as a project manager and business executive. PicturePaper.com brought
him out of retirement in search of creating happiness for others each day.
