About the Supply Chain in the Paper Industry

Challenges remain in the supply chain for the paper industry post-pandemic. A shortage continues on everything related to paper stock to raw materials to process paper products. High demand for cardboard, packaging, household paper goods and printed media require a fulfillment partner skilled in the paper supply chain. As a result, storage space requirements can fluctuate in the paper industry – sometimes varying as much as 50K square feet from one month to the next. WSI offers much-needed flexibility thanks to our large network of warehouses, specializing in bulk storage solutions.

With over 50 years of experience handling every type of paper product, WSI is a leader in paper logistics. We partner with some of the country’s largest paper producers to support logistics across the complete supply chain.
