Current Paper Buyers Guides

Grade Finders has been publishing our paper buyer guides for the past 46 years. The directories have become so well accepted that many paper professionals refer to them as the "Bibles of the Industry" and use them to set bid specifications. In many cases, bids will not be accepted for papers that do not appear in our books. Currently, the States of OH and VA, the city of Washington, DC, and many others utilize our paper guides in this manner.
