Translink takes pride in its environmentally friendly products and encourages recycling whenever possible.

Now is the time for buyers to stock up on the beautiful dry floral handmade paper and stationery items from Translink Corporation and the exquisite gold and crystal giftware from Mascot International.

We interviewed Michael Chan, President of Translink Corporation, asking him about the company’s major strength. “We have been manufacturing and wholesaling patented and copyrighted giftware since 1974,” said Chan. “We are a leader in the worldwide gift industry because of the ingenuity, variety and quality of our products,” he added. Mr. Chan went on to say the quality and variety of his products is what differentiates the company from its competitors. “In fact, that’s what makes our customers come back with repeat business,” said Chan. “Besides the multitude and quality of our products, we continue to develop new products for each season,” he added.

Translink organic floral paper was inspired by Tsai Lun, who invented paper in China in 105 A.D. Translink Corporation strives to keep the traditional art of papermaking alive by adding natural accents and colors. The result of a three-year project that took place many years ago resulted in the current Translink Organic Floral Paper designs. By using the traditional papermaking methods and ingredients, Translink is able to produce sheets made from organic materials that are natural looking and beautiful. Translink uses only the yearly new growth portion of living trees and have added pressed whole flowers, petals, plant fibers and flower sap to enhance their designs. Their products are ideal for paper crafts, stationery, decorations, scrap booking, gift wrapping, and many other art projects. Below is a partial list of products available from Translink.
