Paper + Plastick is an American independent record label and comic book publisher, founded in 2008 and based in Gainesville, Florida.
Announced on March 21, 2008, the label launched on May 30, 2008.
It was founded by Vinnie Fiorello, an American drummer, lyricist and founding member of the ska-punk band Less Than Jake. Fiorello also co-founded the label Fueled by Ramen, an American record label which operates as a subsidiary of Warner Music Group, and is distributed by Atlantic Records.
As explained by Fiorello, the idea behind the label is to rejoin the music and the visual art that once came inseparably with it. In an article by punk-news website Punknews.org, Fiorello was quoted:
On May 6, 2011, the label announced it would begin releasing free digital comic books (to be collected and printed in trade paperbacks at a later date). The following day, the first issue of 50 States (illustrated tour stories from various punk bands, including Less Than Jake) was released in conjunction with Free Comic Book Day. The other two launch titles include the sci-fiction/action/dark comedy series Kill The Wonderhawks and fantasy series Exit Interview.
In Spring 2014 Paper+Plastick opened up a UK/EU store, managed by Guerrilla Monsoon singer/songwriter Mark Vincent Bussey.
