Paper Outlook — Paper Trails Economy

By aligning itself with one primary supplier for web stocks, Dome Printing is able to have paper rolls delivered just-in-time, the company president reports. "We do minimal on-the-floor warehousing. A lot of our shipments are mill-direct shipments or off the distributor's floor," he notes. Poole believes the buying power that comes with Dome's volume of purchasing and working with one main supplier will protect it from being forced to change that practice if the market tightens.
