GullySales

Manufacturing · Paper & Printing

We make the paper, but our buyers only ever phone about the price per kilo.

A paper converter sells a commodity until it shows what is not commodity: the GSM it holds steady, the cut size it supplies, the quantity it can repeat every time. Without that, the buyer reduces every conversation to a rate.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

Paper Products product collection

In one paragraph

Paper products are items converted from paper and board, such as tissue, cups, plates, envelopes, files, kraft sheets and notebooks' stock. GullySales helps the maker show grades, sizes and supply capacity to wholesalers, institutions and brand buyers, and follows each rate request until it becomes a trial order.

Who it is for

This is written for you if paper products is what you make or sell.

  • Converters of tissue, napkins, paper cups and plates for food service
  • Makers of envelopes, file folders and office paper products
  • Small paper mills and rewinders selling kraft, board or writing paper
  • Traders who convert and cut paper to size for printers and packers

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • A trader who only resells and has no conversion or cutting to describe.
  • A maker unable to supply the same grade twice in a row.

How buyers choose

What decides the sale of paper products.

  1. Grade, GSM and size

    A buyer states the grade, the gram weight and the sheet or roll size. The enquiry is lost if your page does not show you carry that.

  2. Sample and moisture feel

    Paper is judged by hand: stiffness, smoothness, whether it curls. Samples are sent with the quotation.

  3. Wholesaler and institution buying

    Stationers, canteen suppliers and institutions buy in bulk from a known name. A distributor decides on margin and supply.

  4. Food-contact use

    For cups, plates and food wraps, the buyer asks whether the paper is suitable for food. Say what documents you hold and let the buyer check them.

Where orders are lost

What usually goes wrong when you sell paper products.

In the words owners use on the first call.

  • “Buyers compare us only by rate per kilo”

    Show consistency of grade, cut accuracy and supply with samples and specification sheets so rate is not the only point.

  • “Large buyers ask for samples and vanish”

    A sample goes out without a follow-up date. A call to learn the test result is the real sale.

  • “Our dealers sell the competitor as often as us”

    A dealer with no reason to push your product pushes the one with more margin. A dealer sheet with specifications, pack sizes and support changes that.

What we do

What you get for paper products.

Each deliverable and what it is there to change.

  1. A product specification sheet set

    A buyer gets the grade and size in one look and can forward it inside their company.

  2. A dealer sheet

    Lists products, pack sizes and margin structure for a wholesaler to decide quickly.

  3. A sample dispatch log

    Records who got which sample and when to call.

  4. A bulk-enquiry reply template

    Asks for grade, size, quantity and delivery place before a rate is quoted.

How the result is measured

  • Bulk enquiries received
  • Quotations sent
  • Samples dispatched and followed up
  • Distributors or wholesalers added
  • Trial orders won
  • Repeat orders

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

How it works

From your first message to the first report.

No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.

  1. First

    Your brief

    You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.

  2. After the brief

    A conversation and a written scope

    We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.

  3. Before work starts

    Baseline recorded

    The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.

  4. After the baseline

    The first fix goes live

    The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.

  5. As agreed

    Report against the baseline

    What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.

  6. At renewal

    Renew on the numbers

    The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.

What we need from you

What to have ready before we talk.

None of it has to be tidy. We read what you have.

  • A list of grades, sizes and pack sizes you produce
  • Photographs of the product and the converting line
  • Current distributors and wholesalers
  • Recent bulk enquiries from directories or calls
  • Any food-contact or quality documents you hold

Export and new regions

Selling paper products beyond your home market.

Where you sell decides standards, documents, payment terms and freight. We work from Bengaluru and have no overseas office, so for a new region we start from your own enquiries, your existing buyers and the directories you already use.

  1. Importers and wholesalers abroad

    Importers of tissue, kraft and converted paper source from India. Start with the countries your existing enquiries come from.

  2. Packing and moisture in transit

    Paper takes damp in a container. State how you wrap and palletise, and agree who bears transit damage.

FAQ

Questions about selling paper products.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

How do we sell paper that looks the same as everyone's?
By proving consistency. A specification sheet with measured GSM, cut tolerance you actually hold and samples from a recent lot gives the buyer something to compare beyond the rate.
Do distributors matter for paper products?
Yes for consumer and office items. A wholesaler sells what has margin and support behind it, so the dealer sheet is a sales tool.
Can we advertise paper cups as food safe?
Only with the documents to back it, and the wording should be checked with your adviser. Describe what you hold and leave the buyer to verify.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on what is being changed and how many of the people who matter see it. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever the work touches, such as your profiles, your website or your accounts, and time with the people who can answer our questions.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
