In the press release, Fiorello stated the inspiration for the name; "If you think about it, prints and books are the paper side, while vinyl records and toys are the plastic side. It's a simple and to-the-point concept."

Fiorello also owns a toy company called Wünderland War, originally called "Monkey VS Robot". The name was changed due to legal issues. He has also started a second toy company with a friend called Symptoms. Many of these toys have been featured in art books and shows.

Roger Lima has a side-project called [[Rehasher]], who have recorded an album ''Off Key Melodies'' on Gainesville-based record label [[No Idea Records]] in 2004. He plays guitar for Rehasher and is also the group's lead singer. Lima also has a recording studio at his home, dubbed as the "Moat House". Some local bands record music here, and Rehasher's second album, ''High Speed Access To My Brain'', was recorded here.

JR Wasilewski composes his own solo music on top of working with a promoting company called the CT Mafia. He contributed one track to the [[Drive-Thru Records]] tribute to [[Bob Dylan]], under the name "The Stay at Home Joneses", which also featured secondary vocals by Lima.

In 1996, Fiorello , Chris DeMakes, and Lima served as backup musicians for [[Asian Man Records]] owner [[Mike Park]] in [[The Bruce Lee Band]] (former sax player Derron Nuhfer also provided horns on some of the tracks).

Schaub is one half of Coffee Project along with Jake Crown, who released a self-titled album on the aforementioned Paper + Plastick label. Together they decided that "a couple of acoustic guitars and a trombone was all they really needed".

DeMakes has been recording his own solo music while not working with Less Than Jake. He is a guest vocalist on the 2010 album ''The Seven Degrees Of Stephen Egerton'' by [[Descendents]] guitarist [[Stephen Egerton (guitarist)|Stephen Egerton]].
