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.

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.
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.
Sample and moisture feel
Paper is judged by hand: stiffness, smoothness, whether it curls. Samples are sent with the quotation.
Wholesaler and institution buying
Stationers, canteen suppliers and institutions buy in bulk from a known name. A distributor decides on margin and supply.
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.
The scope
The work we would propose for paper products.
Measured on qualified enquiries, quotation requests, follow-up on each quotation, trial orders won and repeat orders. Anything here that needs a platform, directory or tool we have not used with you is confirmed with you before it goes in the scope.
- A specification sheet per productGrade, GSM, size, pack quantity and uses on one page per product.
- Pages by product and buyer typeCups and plates for caterers, kraft for packers, files for offices, each addressed to its own buyer.
- Listings in trade directoriesHandling of directory enquiries so the genuine bulk buyers are separated and called.
- Distributor and dealer outreachA pitch for stationers, wholesalers and canteen suppliers, with margin, pack sizes and support.
- Sample follow-upEach sample logged with a date to call for the result.
What we do
What you get for paper products.
Each deliverable and what it is there to change.
A product specification sheet set
A buyer gets the grade and size in one look and can forward it inside their company.
A dealer sheet
Lists products, pack sizes and margin structure for a wholesaler to decide quickly.
A sample dispatch log
Records who got which sample and when to call.
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

- 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Importers and wholesalers abroad
Importers of tissue, kraft and converted paper source from India. Start with the countries your existing enquiries come from.
Packing and moisture in transit
Paper takes damp in a container. State how you wrap and palletise, and agree who bears transit damage.
