Toilet Tissue
Toilet tissue made in Vietnam, sold on ply, sheet count and roll weight rather than on a brand name. Vietnam has the mills and the shelf is open, so the specification is where the conversation starts.
What the specification has to say
Four numbers make a quotation comparable and a brand name makes it worthless: ply, sheet count per roll, sheet size and roll weight in grams. Virgin pulp or recycled is the fifth, and it moves both price and what the label may claim. Rolls per pack and packs per bale complete it. Two rolls that look identical on a shelf can differ by half their weight, which is the whole trade here.

The bulkiest thing on the site
Tissue is compressed air: a container fills its cube long before it approaches its weight limit, so the freight per roll is the number that decides whether a lane works at all. It is the natural partner to detergent, oil or canned goods, which run out of weight first. Send the desk the four numbers and the destination and it will say what can be built and at what landed cost.
