eli5, how do “store brands” work?
In: 348
I work in paper manufacturing. If everything runs smoothly and we are making first quality paper we apply that to our normal customer orders. If we have a hiccup, we will sell that paper that doesn’t quite meet specs to somebody else at a discount. This lower quality paper can be used to make things that are off brand, or sold to somebody in other parts of the world where the buyers are not as strict. A lot of our off quality paper on one machine I used to work on went to India. Our tightest and most specific spec was from a customer in China.
