Royal Lace Paper Works (sold)


Royal Lace Paper Works (1885 - present) is a paper product company founded by Austrian Jewish immigrant Benzion Karfiol (1858-1935) in Brooklyn. The company remained in the hands of Karfiol's family (namely his son-in-law Louis Voltter, 1893 - 1989) until about 1951, when it was acquired by Standard Packaging Corporation of Fort Wayne, Indiana. By 1960, the company had entirely relocated to Fort Wayne and still operated as a division of Standard Packaging. From the 1930s, the company began to use different names for different product lines, including Roylace, Roylies, and Roylprint (in each case eliminating the 'a' from 'royal'). The last of these, Roylprint (the name was in use c. 1953 - 1961), was especially active in producing souvenir-style placemats, including pictorial maps, for restaurants in tourist-heavy areas.
