Same-spec comparison
A quote that changes ply or handle without saying so is treated as a different object, not a cheaper version of the first brief.
Independent sourcing partner
Brown Kraft Bags Sourcing
We coordinate factory matching for kraft paper bags. We do not convert paper, own a bag plant, or hold a brand appointment. Site configuration does not include a founding year, headcount or customer roster, so none is invented here.
How a brief moves, not a company chronicle
This timeline is the order of work on one inquiry. It is not a corporate history and it does not imply a factory network we have already audited.
-
Intake
You send format, kraft grade, quantity unit and destination. Optional budget and supplier preference can sit in the same requirement field.
-
Normalize
We rewrite mixed units and unnamed constructions so two factories receive the same line items. ISO ICS 55.020 vocabulary is used for piece, carton and roll only.
-
Request
Factories quote converting, then list plates, freight and documents as exclusions. We do not insert a market-discount percentage.
-
Compare and gate
Replies are lined up on the same rows. Sample bags and lot files, if required, stay as gates before a production release.
Working rules we will not blur
Files stay with the lot
Food-contact, recycled-content or mill test statements belong to named paper and ink. They are not reused as this site's certificates.
Role clarity
Buyers own the specification. Factories own converting and print. We own the comparison worksheet and the open questions list.
Roles on the inquiry, not a staff directory
These cards describe who usually answers which question. Names, portraits and titles of employees are not published because this site has no approved people asset.
Buyer / packaging lead
Owns fill, size, artwork and destination. Confirms whether food-contact files are required before the first inbound.
Factory estimator
Returns converting, plate and freight on separate rows. May refuse a mixed construction that was written as one SKU.
Sourcing coordinator
Keeps both replies on the same worksheet and flags missing units, unnamed kraft grades or skipped sample gates.
Documents to request from a named factory
This row is a request list, not a display of certificates held by Brown Kraft Bags Sourcing.
- Lot-specific food-contact statement when the bag will touch food
- Paper grade and basis-weight confirmation for the quoted kraft
- Flexographic printing plate or digital-print process note for the artwork
- Chain-of-custody file only if recycled or FSC language is part of the purchase
Send specifications to compare factory quotes
No published discount percentage without the same spec, quantity and delivery evidence.
