Most orders are shipped within two business days of receipt of the order. During busier times, orders may take 4-5 days to be shipped. Depending on the shipping method and your location, the transit days from WR Display & Packaging to your location can be determined by the salesperson at the time of ordering. Because the reliability of our carriers is out of our control, we do not have a method to guarantee when your shipment may arrive.
We have excellent freight rates right across Canada with many of the major carriers, and we constantly rate shop your parcels to determine the most cost effective way for your goods to arrive. At this time we cannot calculate actual shipping charges when you place your order online. If you would like to know the shipping rate charge before your credit card is charged please notify us in the comment box and we will inform you prior to charging your credit card. You can also select "Order Desk Notify" in the payment options section in the checkout. The cost of shipping is determined by two different factors. 1) The weight and size of your shipment, and 2) How fast you need your goods to come to you once they leave our building.
Currently, we do not have a paper catalogue. Everything we sell can be seen and ordered from www.wrdisplay.ca .

We reserve the right at any time to decline to send you a sample.

GSM in the context of paper stands for "grams per square meter." It is a measure of the weight or thickness of paper, indicating the density of the paper. A higher GSM means the paper is thicker and heavier, while a lower GSM indicates a thinner and lighter paper. For example, typical printer paper is around 80-90 GSM, while cardstock or heavy paper may be 200-300 GSM or more. The GSM measurement is important to consider when choosing paper for printing, copying, or other applications, as it can affect the quality and durability of the printed material. Paper basis weight is another way of expressing the weight of paper. It refers to the weight of a sheet of paper in pounds, based on the weight of a ream (500 sheets) of a specific size of paper. For example, a ream of standard 8.5" x 11" printer paper typically weighs 20 pounds, so it is referred to as 20 lb. bond paper. Similarly, a ream of 11" x 17" paper that weighs 60 pounds would be referred to as 60 lb. text paper. The basis weight of paper is important to consider when selecting paper for specific applications, as it can affect the strength, thickness, and appearance of the final product.
As we all get used to a world without single use plastic retail bags, many retailers are switching to paper. Although durable, paper bags do not have the same weight carrying capacity as plastic bags. Furthermore, one would never worry about the sharp corners of a boot box when using a plastic bag, but in the case of a paper bag one must be wary. If necessary, carry a paper bag like our parents and grandparents did when they went grocery shopping: use 2 hands, wrap your arm around the bottom, and be careful in how much you put in a paper bag. When in doubt, double up the bag. The famous line we remember (if you're old enough...) at the grocery checkout would be, "Would you like me to double your bags?". Paper bags can rip for a variety of reasons, including:
  • Overloading: Paper bags have a weight limit, and if you put too many heavy items in them, they can rip. It's important to make sure you don't overload the bag beyond its capacity. When in doubt, double the bag.
  • Sharp edges: Sharp or pointed objects can puncture the paper bag, causing it to tear or rip.
  • Moisture: Paper bags are not waterproof, and if they get wet or damp, they can become weak and tear easily. Colour from wet paper bags can bleed onto products, be careful when wet.
  • Rough handling: If a paper bag is handled roughly, such as being thrown or dropped, it can cause the bag to rip.Overall, paper bags are not as durable as plastic bags, so it's important to use them appropriately and handle them with care to prevent rips or tears. We test all our paper bags that we sell for durability, but once out in your store we have no control over how you use them, or how much you load them up.
While most of our customers are businesses from across Canada and the USA, we are not restrictive to who buys from us. Our website is open to all and if you can meet our small minimum we will gladly take your order.
