What we buy

Printing and industrial grades, in whatever state you are holding them.

We specialize in inventory that is no longer being used — the skids in the back corner, the odd lots, the run that never shipped.

Rolls

Printing paper in roll form — any width, any grade, any age of stock, from a standing run to a handful of butt rolls.

Sheets

Sheeted stock in cartons, on skids, or held in bulk — coated and uncoated, cut sizes and press sizes alike.

Board

Industrial board grades carried as surplus, discontinued spec, or overrun from a job long since closed out.

Kraft

Kraft in its working forms, bought as it sits, in roll or sheet, without repacking or sorting on your end.

Medical grades

Medical grades of paper, including specified stock that has stopped moving or been superseded on the line.

Obsolete and scrap

Aged, discontinued, misprinted or scrap material of any volume — the lots nobody else wants to quote.

Who we buy from

If you are holding paper you cannot use, we are a buyer.

One skid or a full warehouse, the conversation starts the same way — send the list.

Insurance claims

Damaged paper still has a market. We know it well.


We have purchased paper through insurance claims for stock damaged by floods, transit and fire. Adjusters and warehouse managers come to us when a loss needs to be valued honestly and cleared out fast.

  • Flood and water damage
  • Transit and handling damage
  • Fire and smoke claims
How it works

Four steps from unused rolls to cleared floor.

No consignment and no waiting to see whether it sells. We buy the lot outright.

Send the list

Grade, size, quantity, condition. Photographs help. A rough inventory is enough to start.

We make an offer

We price the lot against our outlets and come back to you with a firm number.

We move the freight

All freight is handled by us and scheduled around the convenience of the warehouse.

You are paid

Prompt payment for all paper purchased, and the space back in your building.

Freight

Outlets across North America — and overseas.


Because we already have a home for the material, we can quote quickly and commit to a pickup date rather than shopping your inventory around.

All freight is handled by us, to assure inventory is moved out quickly and at the convenience of the warehouse. You supply the skids and a dock time. We do the rest.
