Online operations of the high street's favourite stationary brand are set to end this week after the chain fell into administration in January.
All 106 stores of Paperchase are set to close while the website also shuts down on Friday, February 17.
Sales will continue online until midnight on Friday and has increased offers from 20 per cent to 30 per cent off.
A statement from Paperchase read: "It is with a heavy heart that we inform you that Paperchase.com online store will cease trading on Friday February 17 at midnight.

"We want to take a moment to thank you for your support and loyalty over the years.
"In the meantime, you can still shop online and get at least 30 per cent off everything today."
The chain also said customers can still shop in store “with new stock arriving weekly” but warned “when it’s gone, it’s gone”.
Following the announcement that the company had fallen into administration, Tesco stepped in to buy rights to the brand.
The supermarket giant plans to sell Paperchase items in stores.
Administrators previously planned to liquidate the business, closing all 106 – putting 1,000 jobs at risk.
All stores have launched closing sales, but it hasn’t been confirmed when they will shut for good.
Yesterday was the final day to use Paperchase voucher before they expired.
In-store shoppers will not be able to get any refunds but could be offered an exchange.

But those who have bought items online have the right to a refund within a 14-day period from when the item is delivered.
Shoppers rushed to take advantage of bargains last week as the retailer looked set to “disappear from the high street”.
However, the process could take up to two months.
It comes as high street retailers are struggling with shoppers turning to online shopping or larger department stores.
