Runjia Paper · PLMA Chicago 2026 Buyer Guide
The sample is persuasive because it is tangible. Approval still depends on what the sample represents and whether its finished pack matches the intended retail order.
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 approving a private label parchment paper sample, check its ID and revision, sheet or roll dimensions, coating and intended use, finished retail pack, and the written acceptance and evidence plan. Use Runjia’s PLMA display to identify what is a production-intent sample and what still needs a controlled trial.
Quick takeaway: Photograph or retain a sample only with an identifier. Write down which of the five checks passed, which are open and whether a new sample is required before approval.

Why This Decision Matters
The sample is persuasive because it is tangible. Approval still depends on what the sample represents and whether its finished pack matches the intended retail order. Photograph or retain a sample only with an identifier. Write down which of the five checks passed, which are open and whether a new sample is required before approval.
Five Checks to Make at the Booth
| Check | Question to record |
|---|---|
| Identity | Record sample ID, batch or revision and the exact quoted SKU. |
| Dimensions | Measure sheet or roll width, length, core and relevant tolerances. |
| Surface and use | Specify GSM, coating side, intended contact and application trial. |
| Finished pack | Check box fit, cutter, closure, pack count, artwork and barcode space. |
| Approval record | Define acceptance tests, retained sample, document scope and approver. |
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. Photograph or retain a sample only with an identifier. Write down which of the five checks passed, which are open and whether a new sample is required before approval.
Normalize the Quote
The approved sample must be tied to the quoted grade, coating, finished dimensions and retail packing. A change to any of those may need a new sample and price confirmation.
A Simple Buyer Calculation
If the target roll is 30 meters and a sample contains only a short demonstration length, it cannot validate winding, dispenser use or carton fit for the full roll. This is a test-design example, not a Runjia sample claim.
When to Pause Approval
Pause if the booth sample has no revision ID, cannot be mapped to an RFQ, or is claimed to represent an untested finished retail pack.
What to Send in the Follow-Up RFQ
Send sample photos and ID, target dimensions, grade and GSM, coating and use conditions, final pack drawing, destination, trial criteria and requested evidence. Ask who signs the next sample approval.
| Field | Buyer input |
|---|---|
| Product and sample | Private Label Parchment 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.
Bring Your Brief to South Hall H2715
Send the product format, dimensions, pack, destination, volume and the decision you want to make. Request a booth discussion for November 16 or 17; the meeting time is subject to confirmation.
