Packaging sourcing, done for you
Packaging is a brutal category: prices move with paper markets, freight changes the math, and every quote hides in a different unit — per box, per thousand, per ton. Dov speaks packaging natively (he was built by paper traders) and brings you back offers you can actually compare.
Why packaging quotes are hard to compare
Even experienced buyers get burned on packaging because:
- Specs are technical: board grade, ECT/BCT, grammage, flute, coatings, food-contact compliance
- Prices quote in mixed units — per unit, per thousand, per short ton, per metric ton
- Freight and MOQs swing the real cost more than the unit price
- The cheapest mill for one grade is rarely the cheapest for another
How Dov handles it
- Send Dov your spec, dieline or just a sample photo
- He finds converters, mills and distributors that run your grade and volume
- RFQs go out with your exact spec so quotes come back comparable
- You see landed-cost comparisons per supplier on one dashboard
Example missions
- Corrugated shippers 32 ECT, 250,000 units — quotes from 14 converters
- Kraft paper 70 gsm in reels — US stock vs. European mills, landed Houston
- Food-grade folding cartons, 1M units/year — FDA-compliant suppliers only
What you get back

Frequently asked questions
Can Dov source stocklots and off-grade paper?
Yes — including stocklot and off-grade positions when your use case allows it, which can cut costs dramatically. Tell Dov what compromises are acceptable.
Does Dov understand technical paper specs?
Yes. HireDov was built by paper and board traders — grammage, grades, coatings, reels versus sheets, food-contact requirements are home turf.
US suppliers only, or import too?
Both. Dov quotes domestic suppliers alongside import options with freight terms, so you can judge the real landed cost of each.
