Bridging the old and the contemporary, António Sousa Oliveira’s Binding Workshop is one of the few spaces dedicated to this activity that still resists the passage of time.
Founded in 1969, with a small workshop on Rua das Taipas, it moved in 1974 to the space where it still stands today, Rua do Pinheiro.
Its founder, António Oliveira, passed on to his descendants all his passion and dedication for the art of binding. They are the ones who, today, make use of this excellent training and lead this family business, continuing a craft business that has already been operating for half a decade.

Olmar was born in 1973, in a small garage in São João da Madeira, by the hands of its founder, Fernando Gomes de Oliveira. It dedicates daily to the world of office material, selling more than 25000 references of products to the entire country. This is the brand’s second megastore, where the clients have access to a wide range of products, from paper, office supplies, school equipment, crafts materials, furniture and informatics, representing reference brands. It also has a copies centre where several services are provided, from prints, scans, bindings, laminating, cards, invites, flyers, stamps, among others.

Created in 2002, PAPEL&CA came to widen the offer of high quality materials for graphic works in the city of Porto. It continues to be a reference in the trade of stationery materials, having expanded its range of products. At Papel&CA customers can find the “Gifts” section – a space with original objects and brands to offer on the most diverse occasions. But the shop is also differentiated by its Technical Stationery, with world-famous brands to allow everyone’s creativity to flourish, and by the Print Centre, for digital printing on different media.
