Shipping & Warehousing Costs of Bulk Paper

Buying in bulk helps reduce the cost per unit, but the overall savings depend on how efficiently you handle shipping and storage. Understanding these hidden factors helps businesses make better long-term decisions when ordering large quantities of paper.

Shipping is one of the most overlooked costs in bulk purchasing. Heavy products like copy paper and thermal rolls can increase freight charges—especially if shipped long distances. That’s why MilaMima’s Canadian-based warehouses are such a big advantage. Local fulfillment minimizes freight time and costs, giving customers a faster, more affordable experience.

Warehousing costs are another consideration. Bulk paper requires dry, climate-controlled storage to prevent moisture damage or fading. For offices with limited space, this can be a challenge. To optimize space, stack paper horizontally in sealed cartons and rotate stock regularly to keep it fresh.

If your business prints regularly, the cost of maintaining extra inventory is often lower than the cost of rush shipping. MilaMima’s efficient supply chain ensures you can order in bulk without overpaying for delivery or storage.

Bulk shipping doesn’t have to be expensive—MilaMima’s local logistics make it easy to stock up smartly, saving both money and time.
