PROCUREMENT GUIDE

How to Compare Tissue Paper Quotations

Compare tissue quotations only after aligning material, GSM or basis weight, ply, finished dimensions, sheet count or roll length, embossing, retail packaging, export carton, MOQ and delivery basis. A lower unit price may describe a smaller sheet, lighter construction, different pack or different Incoterm. Record every assumption beside the price.

DECISION POINTS

What to align before the next commitment.

01

Price per 100 sheets

Useful only when sheet dimensions, ply, material and pack scope are also aligned.

02

Price per roll

Weak without roll length or sheet count, sheet size, core, ply and packaging.

03

FOB versus CIF

Not comparable until the named port, freight scope and destination charges are clear.

WORKING SEQUENCE

A clearer route from question to decision.

  1. 01

    Normalize the physical specification.

  2. 02

    Normalize retail and export packaging.

  3. 03

    Separate one-time charges from repeat-order price.

  4. 04

    Compare the same Incoterm and destination scope.

  5. 05

    Record missing data as DATA_NOT_FOUND—not zero.

DIRECT ANSWERS

Questions buyers ask before moving forward.

01Should I compare only the unit price?+

No. A useful comparison aligns the physical product, retail and export packaging, MOQ, delivery basis, destination and included services.

02What if a field is not yet decided?+

Mark it as to be confirmed and ask suppliers to state the assumption used in their quotation rather than silently filling the gap.

03Can VELUPLY review an existing specification?+

Yes. Share the specification, pack reference, target market and quantity so open fields can be identified before a quotation is prepared.
