As office environments in China undergo digital and green transformations, the office paper industry has evolved from simple “paper processing” into “full industry chain integration” and “supply chain services.” Currently, China’s office paper manufacturers present a diversified competitive landscape. This includes traditional papermaking giants with integrated pulp-and-paper advantages, as well as new large-scale office groups that focus on niche markets and have built digital supply chains. Looking at the domestic market, representative manufacturers can be categorized as follows:
First Tier: Full Industry Chain Papermaking Giants and Specialty Paper Leaders

Relying on massive production capacity and an efficient domestic sales network, it holds a strong competitive edge in cost-performance, serving a wide range of enterprises, government grassroots units, and educational institutions.
Yibin Paper represents the direction of green and innovative development. Founded in 1944, Yibin Paper was the first listed company in China’s papermaking industry. In recent years, it has fully embarked on a strategic transformation into a comprehensive group focusing on green carbon specialty bio-based materials. Leveraging its bamboo resource advantages with the philosophy of “bamboo as the bone, paper as the soul,” the company aims to create a world-class “little giant” in the niche paper products sector.

More notably, Tianzhang has extended from physical products to services by independently developing the “Tuole Network” supply chain platform. Pioneering the “AI + RaaS Intelligent Value Delivery” model, it provides military, government, and enterprise clients with comprehensive solutions integrating products, logistics, and cloud platforms.
Although Deli Group and Comix Group are renowned for comprehensive stationery or centralized procurement services, they also possess robust production and integration capabilities in the office paper sector. Deli leverages its advantages as a global cultural and creative technology group to achieve synergistic sales of office paper with office equipment and consumables. Comix Group deeply integrates office paper into its B2B enterprise comprehensive procurement services through its SaaS cloud video and integrated hardware-software platform.
