## Application & grade selection

- Local cut-size copy paper conversion

- Office paper sheeting and packing

- Distributor purchases for an identified converter

## Technical specification & TDS verification

This checklist defines the request. Available grades, values and tolerances are confirmed in the supplying mill's dated TDS and quotation.

| Parameter | Buyer requirement / factory evidence | Test / verification method |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Grammage | Target GSM and acceptable tolerance; specify each grade separately. | ISO 536 or the agreed equivalent. |
| Reel dimensions | Reel width, maximum diameter, core inside diameter, maximum weight and winding direction. | Agreed measuring method and converter limits. |
| Brightness / whiteness | Specify whether the target is ISO brightness or CIE whiteness; include the method and tolerance. | ISO brightness: ISO 2470-1. CIE whiteness: buyer's stated method; do not substitute brightness. |
| Moisture | Target moisture range and sampling/acceptance conditions. | ISO 287 or the agreed method. |
| Thickness and stiffness | Caliper/bulk target and feeding/curl requirements for the finished sheet. | ISO 534 for thickness; stiffness and runnability assessed using agreed methods and conversion trials. |
| Tensile properties | Minimum values if required, machine and cross direction, units and tolerance. | ISO 1924-2 or the agreed method. |
| Conversion performance | Finished sheet size, printer/copier application, dust, splice, edge and sheet formation acceptance criteria. | Agreed buyer conversion and print trials. |

## Testing & document requirements

### Mill technical data

Request a dated technical sheet for the proposed mill grade. Match grammage, thickness, moisture and optical values to the methods and tolerances in your buying specification. State whether your optical target is ISO brightness or CIE whiteness.

### Sheeting and print trials

Agree the representative sample and trial conditions for your sheeter and intended printer or copier use. Record the acceptance criteria for curl, dust, feeding, cutting edges and finished-sheet appearance before approving the order specification.

### Grade and batch records

Confirm the mill identity, grade code, reel labels and batch records to be supplied with the order. Agree how sampling and any independent inspection will check the approved specification.

### Certificates requested for the order

If your purchasing policy requires certified fibre or factory management documentation, include the exact requirement in the enquiry. The relevant certificate holder, validity, scope and claim for the proposed supply are checked with the factory.

## Packing & container planning

- Slitter/sheeter reel-width limits

- Core diameter and chuck compatibility

- Reel diameter and maximum handling weight

- Splice number and marking

- Moisture-resistant wrapping and protected reel ends

- Batch labels and verified loading plan

| Planning field | Information to confirm |
| --- | --- |
| Shipment format | Parent reels for local sheeting; quantity by GSM and reel width, stated in net metric tonnes. |
| Reel handling | Width, maximum diameter, core inside diameter, maximum reel weight, winding direction and splice limits. |
| Protection and traceability | Moisture-resistant wrap, edge protection, end protection, pallet/packing specification, grade and batch labels. |
| Container plan | 20GP/40HQ option, actual package dimensions and gross weights, securing plan, equipment payload and destination handling/road limits; final net tonnes confirmed against the packing list. |
| Commercial basis | Named origin/destination, Incoterm, currency, quote validity, payment terms, required documents and target shipment window. |

Net cargo quantity is an order-specific result of dimensions, packing, actual weight and the relevant equipment and transport limits.

## Sample & approval workflow

- Submit the application, specification and any reference TDS.

- Review the proposed factory grade and document scope.

- Approve a representative sample against the agreed acceptance criteria.

- Confirm the quotation, inspection scope, packing and shipment terms in writing.

## Buying questions

Are these finished A4 copy paper reams?

This page covers parent or jumbo reels for local conversion. Specify your intended finished sheet size and the reel limits of your sheeter.

Can you quote my required GSM and reel width?

Send the target GSM, tolerance, reel width, core, maximum diameter and quantity. Grade availability, minimum order and price are confirmed with the supplying factory.

Can I compare ISO brightness and CIE whiteness?

They measure different optical properties. Include the exact method with your target value so the proposed TDS can be compared on the same basis.

Can you source for my destination?

Send the destination country and receiving port with your reel requirements and quantity. We check the factory offer, packing and shipment options for that destination.
