Runjia Paper · PLMA Chicago 2026 Buyer Guide
A low line price is difficult to compare when two suppliers are pricing different finished products. Use the show meeting to uncover assumptions behind the number.
Runjia’s invitation lists South Hall, booth H2715 at Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, Chicago, for the November 16–17, 2026 exhibition dates. PLMA’s published schedule confirms the show floor is open on those two days; confirm the current organizer schedule before travel.

Direct Answer
Before comparing a baking paper quote, fix the sellable unit, sheet or roll dimensions, paper grade and GSM, coating construction, retail pack, carton, order quantity, artwork, acceptance method and Incoterm. Ask Runjia to mark every unpriced or conditional field in writing after the PLMA discussion.
Quick takeaway: Take two competing specifications to the booth with prices removed. If the physical items or pack assumptions differ, normalize the specification first and compare the revised baking paper quote later.

Why This Decision Matters
A low line price is difficult to compare when two suppliers are pricing different finished products. Use the show meeting to uncover assumptions behind the number. Take two competing specifications to the booth with prices removed. If the physical items or pack assumptions differ, normalize the specification first and compare the revised baking paper quote later.
Five Checks to Make at the Booth
| Check | Question to record |
|---|---|
| Material | Which grade, GSM and coating side are included? |
| Format | What tolerances apply to width, length, core and sheet count? |
| Packaging | Is the retail box, cutter, artwork and master carton included? |
| Commercial | Does MOQ apply to each size and artwork or the combined order? |
| Evidence | Which tests and destination documents are in scope? |
Compare the Physical Sample with the Written SKU
Place the sample ID beside the proposed product specification and quote. Mark any mismatch in dimensions, material, coating, pack count or use condition as open. A sample displayed at PLMA helps frame the discussion; it does not establish a repeat-lot result or market compliance. Take two competing specifications to the booth with prices removed. If the physical items or pack assumptions differ, normalize the specification first and compare the revised baking paper quote later.
Normalize the Quote
Request a clear quote basis: currency, validity, Incoterm, order quantity, SKU split, tooling, print setup, packing, inspection, pallet and freight inclusion. Do not infer that an omitted line is free.
A Simple Buyer Calculation
Illustratively, $0.80 per roll plus $0.12 retail pack and $0.08 allocated setup is $1.00 before freight. A $0.95 all-in line can be cheaper if scope matches; these are examples, not Runjia prices.
When to Pause Approval
Pause if a supplier will not name the paper and pack revision behind the price or if a sample shown at the booth differs from the quoted construction.
What to Send in the Follow-Up RFQ
Share a one-page comparison sheet with dimensions, GSM, coating, pack, carton, order split, destination and evidence request. Ask Runjia to return exceptions and a revised quote revision number.
| Field | Buyer input |
|---|---|
| Product and sample | Baking Paper SKU, sample ID and revision |
| Physical specification | Format, dimensions, GSM, coating and tolerances |
| Retail pack | Finished count, artwork, carton and barcode position |
| Commercial | Volume by SKU, destination, Incoterm and target date |
| Evidence and decision | Intended use, documents, trial method and approver |
Export Manager Note
Separate what was shown at the booth from what has been confirmed for the purchase order. Ask for a dated written reply to open items. A useful record names the responsible person, expected sample or document and next decision point.
