PAPERSOLUTIONS Comes to Metro New York

PAPERSOLUTIONS, which is part of Unisource Worldwide Inc., expanded its operations last month to the New York Metro area marketplace. PAPERSOLUTIONS provides high-demand/high-volume paper products to commercial printers, and offers customers an alternative to traditional purchasing arrangements. The company provides a targeted product selection focused on the papers printers use most often, and pricing is based on the quantity of paper purchased per order. Unlike traditional purchasing programs, quantity prices are published, and are not negotiated.

Following the launch of PAPERSOLUTIONS in the Metro Detroit area in 2005, the Lansing and Grand Rapids markets in 2007, and Cincinnati in 2008, the New York metro area was chosen as the next market for expansion.

“Metro New York has always been one of the most vibrant printing communities in the industry,” said Jeff Weaver, director of PAPERSOLUTIONS. “Our research indicates that PAPERSOLUTIONS’ business model is well suited to this marketplace and will offer a great value to printers.”

Jim Russell, president of the ArborOakland Group located in Royal Oak, Mich., and a PAPERSOLUTIONS customer, said, “We’ve been buying our house stock from PAPERSOLUTIONS for nearly four years. PAPERSOLUTIONS’ combination of products and pricing, deep inventory levels and outstanding customer service have been instrumental in helping us grow market share and increase our bottom line—even in today’s challenging business environment. The PAPERSOLUTIONS model makes sense because it’s focused on our needs.”

“PAPERSOLUTIONS is a paper distribution model designed with the printers’ needs in mind. At the very core of PAPERSOLUTIONS is the sustainability of print,” said Weaver. “Through a focused effort to reduce costs we are able to provide printers with the first-quality papers they use most often, at value-level prices—enabling our print customers to become more profitable and more competitive.”

“PAPERSOLUTIONS has been a tremendous value to our company,” added Jody Sorsen, a customer and purchasing manager for Printcomm, a print communications company based in Flint, Mich. “First, they’ve taken the hassle out of ordering paper. More importantly, their pricing has unquestionably improved our bottom line and has made us more competitive in the market.”

PAPERSOLUTIONS provides a range of options to expedite each transaction and suit customers’ needs. Customers can purchase products by contacting Sales Service at (888) 863-0655, or accessing the PAPERSOLUTIONS e-commerce site. The company’s products are available for next-day delivery for orders placed by 5:30 p.m. EST.

A dedicated Sales Service team is also available to provide complete customer assistance. The team is a resource for paper industry information, providing insights and tips to help printers manage their businesses. The information is shared with PAPERSOLUTIONS customers through email, direct mail and group presentations.
