Common Challenges in Choosing a 3PL for Pulp and Paper Producers

The pulp and paper industry is logistics-intensive. Raw materials are bulky, fragile, and often time-sensitive. Finished goods must move efficiently to customers with precise delivery windows and minimal damage. Without the right logistics partner, even the strongest mill operation can suffer from transportation inefficiencies or inventory bottlenecks.

Buske understands the operational complexity and has developed 3PL solutions that solve the top challenges facing pulp and paper producers:

Bulky, Heavy Freight

Paper rolls, bales, and cartons require specialized handling and load configuration to avoid product shifting or edge damage during transit. Our freight teams are trained to handle these materials correctly and cost-effectively.

High Damage Risk

Moisture, compression, and friction can ruin thousands of dollars of inventory. We use protective warehousing conditions and optimized palletization strategies to maintain product integrity.

Limited In-House Logistics Capabilities

Many pulp and paper producers lack the scale or flexibility to manage inventory and shipping beyond the mill. We operate as a full-service logistics extension of your operation.

Inefficient Freight Utilization

Shipping air is costly. We help pulp and paper producers optimize trailer loading, routing, and freight pooling to reduce cost-per-ton and maximize efficiency.

Lack of Inventory Visibility

Paper and pulp SKUs often move through multiple facilities and customer locations. Our WMS gives producers full visibility into real-time inventory, from production to delivery.
