Wholesale-Paper & Paper Products

The Wholesale–Paper & Paper Products industry, classified under SIC 5110, encompasses distributors of printing and writing paper, corrugated and folding cartons, packaging materials, tissue and towel products, janitorial and sanitary supplies, as well as specialty papers used in foodservice, healthcare, and industrial applications. Typical customers include printers, retailers, e‑commerce fulfillment centers, restaurants, manufacturers, schools, and hospitals that rely on reliable, cost‑effective paper inputs to keep operations running. Key risks include exposure to pulp price volatility, shifts toward digital media and paperless workflows, environmental regulation on forestry and recycling, and increasingly stringent packaging and waste‑reduction rules across the U.S. and abroad. From 2024 into 2025, wholesalers are focusing on sustainable and recycled paper lines, lighter‑weight packaging, supply‑chain digitization, and value‑added services such as inventory management and just‑in‑time delivery. For investors and market participants tracking these dynamics, you can review live SEC filings from SIC 5110 companies directly on EarningsFeed to monitor performance, risks, and strategic shifts in real time.
