Definition
This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in wholesaling bulk printing and/or writing paper generally on rolls for further processing. The US Printing and Writing Paper Wholesaling industry purchases various reams of bulk paper (such as coated/uncoated groundwood, clay and free sheet paper) from manufacturers and sells these products in bulk after adding a mark-up percentage to the price. These papers are generally used for further processing by printers of magazines, books, advertising material etc, as well as other industrial users, like graphic designers. Only large industrial users will buy such papers in bulk since smaller quantities are sold by the Stationery and Office Supplies Wholesaling Industry (NAICS 42212).
