How much Does Bulk A4 Printer Paper Costs?

[bagusbagus]

Just ordered some at £2.46 for a ream of 500sheets, and thought how insanely cheap that is...
Anyone Knows how much does it costs when you get a good contract & buy truck loads of it?

Alibaba lists it for around 50-90c (44-80p) per 500 sheets if you buy 5000 packs.

not that far down the chain I meant for stuff already imported/sold here by the companies to other companies.
btw Most of the prices on alibaba are fake until you contact the suppliers there.

About £11 +vat for a box of 5 x 500. Ish.

£3 in Wilko or 2 for £5 which is pretty good for High Street prices.

China not very good at making printer paper.

Bit of a "how long is a piece of string" question without establishing the quality parameters.

Those are regular prices anyone can get without any minimum order...

Not sure about here but Norway has papermills which do a4 paper. at 20pallets a month it may be worth going direct

Is that £2.46 + VAT?

[Mrkevuk]

That’s a cheap price if you are only buying 500 sheets at a time . To give you a idea on paper prices I pay approximately £10 for 1000 sheets SRA 3 so about £2.50 per 500A4 . But this price is from a paper merchant and I’m spending ££££ per month.

So essentially you're looking for a paper cut?

Not really what the OP was after,but I'm amazed at how poor stationery value is for big companies. I work on a site of 500 people an we get supplied via Bates and I could beat their prizes, including the specially negotiated discount off list, by wandering into Wilkos with a purchase card.

We use Premier Paper, Not sure the cost Id have to look it up

I noticed that Wilko's and probably other similar retailers have gone to 75gsm from the standard 80 gsm for their cheapie paper, also seen 'shrinkflation' packs of 450 sheets instead of a ream.

I bought a pack (5 reams) of 90 grams paper a few months ago and I was surprised at how much more substantial it feels then the supposedly 80g stuff we'd been using.

There will probably be a decent rebate returned to the big company off the list price quoted. Or should be, if the procurement team has done a good job.
