Stationery means millions of units and margins decided by the cent.
Lower paper weight than specified, bindings that fail, ink that smears, brittle plastic: in stationery, quality is measured and price is negotiated on large volumes.
Our teams, as close to the factories as possible.
Our category, led by a former buyer for a stationery and supplies retailer, verifies paper weights and certifications (FSC, PEFC), validates print proof sign-offs and color proofs, tests writing and binding, checks the safety of school supplies (EN 71 for products intended for children) and optimizes containers on heavy, dense products. Hubs: Ningbo and Wenzhou (writing, filing, plastic), Shenzhen and Dongguan (printing, notebooks, planners), Yiwu (accessories), Shandong (paper).
