Cellulose fibers paper is a core material in packaging, hygiene products, filtration, labels and many FMCG applications. For importers, wholesalers and distributors across Africa, the UK, the EU and beyond, China is often the first place to look for competitive pricing and wide product choice.

However, knowing where to buy and how to reliably export cellulose fibers paper from China is not always straightforward. Supplier quality varies, specifications are technical, and logistics can be complex.

This is where a specialist trading company like Wigmore Trading can help.

Why source cellulose fibers paper from China?

China is a leading producer of cellulose-based papers and specialty grades because of:

• Scale and capacity – Large mills can supply consistent volumes for long-term contracts.

• Wide product range – From lightweight tissue and hygiene papers to heavier packaging board and specialty cellulose papers.

• Competitive pricing – Economies of scale and integrated supply chains often give better landed costs, even after freight.

For buyers in import/export, wholesale distribution, FMCG and logistics, this means you can source:

• Cellulose fibers paper for packaging and wrapping

• Tissue, towel and hygiene base paper

• Filter and industrial cellulose paper

• Label, printing and converting grades for retail and food products

The opportunity is strong—but only if your sourcing and export process is controlled.

Common challenges when you export cellulose fibers paper from China

Even experienced importers can face obstacles when they try to export cellulose fibers paper from China without support.

1. Matching exact specifications

GSM, brightness, porosity, moisture content, core size, reel width and packaging requirements must be clearly defined. Small differences can affect converting performance or product approvals.

How Wigmore Trading can help:
Wigmore Trading works with you to define detailed specifications and matches them with suitable Chinese mills and converters. Samples and test reels can be arranged before any bulk order, reducing the risk of costly mismatches.

2. Supplier reliability and quality control

Not every advertised supplier can meet consistent quality, documentation or shipment schedules. For long-term contracts, this can disrupt your whole supply chain.

How Wigmore Trading can help:
Wigmore Trading works with pre-vetted manufacturers and monitors performance over time. Inspection services, production monitoring and pre-shipment checks help ensure the cellulose fibers paper you receive matches agreed standards.

3. Documentation, compliance and regulations

For many markets, cellulose-based papers must comply with food-contact, packaging, hygiene or environmental regulations. Incorrect or incomplete paperwork can cause customs delays or rejections.

How Wigmore Trading can help:
Wigmore Trading coordinates with factories to secure the necessary documents, such as:

• Certificates of analysis (COA)

• MSDS or technical data sheets

• Compliance declarations where applicable

Accurate commercial invoices, packing lists and bills of lading are prepared to match your local customs requirements.

4. Logistics, freight and consolidation

Choosing between FCL and LCL, optimising container loading, and managing shipping schedules from multiple suppliers in China can be difficult—especially when you also handle other product lines.

How Wigmore Trading can help:

• Consolidation of different paper grades and other products into a single container

• Coordination of sea or air freight from major Chinese ports

• Help with insurance, incoterms and delivery planning to your destination country

Wigmore Trading can help you streamline the entire export process, not just the purchase.
