Choose GSM for the intended wrapping task
GSM describes mass per unit area, not a complete measure of softness, opacity or strength. Give the supplier your target GSM and describe whether the tissue will wrap garments, line a gift box or protect a printed surface. Compare samples against the actual product rather than treating GSM as a performance guarantee.
Approve warm cream and ivory against a physical reference
Words such as cream, off-white and warm ivory can describe different shades. Supply a physical reference or agreed colour target and state whether a noticeable yellow cast is unacceptable. Request daylight photographs for preliminary comparison, then approve the physical paper; camera settings and screens can alter the appearance.
If printing is needed, check the ink on the intended paper colour and finish. Confirm any colour tolerance with the supplier before production.
Compare custom sheets with available standard sizes
Specify finished width and length, acceptable dimensional tolerance and whether trimming is required. Ask the supplier to quote the requested size alongside available standard sheet sizes. Standard-size availability and any saving must be confirmed for the actual material and quantity; this guide does not promise stock sizes.
Make quotation units and packing explicit
State the quantity in sheets, the number of sheets per pack, print coverage, logo requirements and delivery destination. Request separate sample, printing, packing and freight charges. Ask the supplier to confirm the applicable MOQ and schedule for the selected specification rather than assuming a general packaging MOQ applies to tissue sheets.
Buyer questions
Can a daylight photograph confirm the final tissue-paper colour?
It can help shortlist shades, but lighting, camera settings and screens affect colour. Approve a physical paper reference or sample before confirming bulk colour.
Should I ask for standard tissue sheet sizes?
Yes. Give your requested dimensions and ask which standard sizes are available for the proposed material. Compare usable coverage, packing and quoted cost before choosing.
