IKEA is a Swedish furniture store. It is a multinational retailer of household goods. IKEA has branches in many countries around the world, selling flat-packed furniture, accessories, bathrooms and kitchen supplies as a pioneer in the sale of self-assembled furniture at reasonable prices and is currently the world’s largest furniture retailer.

Therefore, if other companies that want to cooperate with large-scale companies like IKEA must meet relatively high standards. As for matboards, what makes a matboard supplier for IKEA China professional?

As the biggest matboard manufacturer basement in China, DY Matboard has relatively good quality which can compare to US and Italian matboard. This stable quality requirement make us the unique matboard supplier to IKEA in China. The reasons why DY did it are as followed.

1. Supreme & environmentally-responsible raw materials

IKEA is always associated with improving people’s quality of life and adhering to the business tenet of “provide as many customers as possible, well-designed, well-functioning, low-cost household items”. While providing a wide variety of beautiful and practical household items that ordinary people can afford, IKEA strives to create a business model centered on customers and the interests of society, and is committed to environmental protection and social responsibility issues. The IKEA way of purchasing home furnishing products: IKEA’s policies on environmental protection and forest resources are very strict.

As a manufacturer that values environmental protection, DY uses acid-free paper and has passed FSC certificate successfully. The FSC is made up of representatives from environmental protection organizations, government forestry departments, local resident organizations, social forestry groups and timber product certification bodies from more than 70 countries. Its international center was originally located in the capital of Oaxaca, Mexico. FSC is a relatively mature and complete forest certification system.

DY insists on using acid-free paper. The PH of mat boards is 7.0 (neutral) or higher (alkaline) means they’re acid-free. Under normal conditions of use and storage, the life of acid-free paper can reach 200 years. Permanent paper can last for at least centuries without significant deterioration. The paper generally has a pH of 7.5 or higher and does not contain groundwood pulp, so it has high strength and high paper properties, and is suitable for people to use and store for a long time.The basis weight and color of the paper depend on the application. The paper is solid, strong and close to neutral. After special treatment (eliminating the organic acid present therein) from the plant fiber pulp, it is made on a paper machine.

2. World-class equipment & experienced technicians

DY also bring in the cutting machines from Italy (Valiani) and Netherland (Gunnar). For over several years, Valiani and Gunnar products have consistently reset the bar of excellence for precision cutting in the matboard and framing industries. DY has more than 20 Valiani and Gunnar cutting machines , Now we cut 150000 mat board sheets each day , have the largest production capacity in China.

The company has more than ten years of professional and technical personnel with strict production management team. The fully automatic computer cutting unit can perform pipeline management and control operations, and can produce 45 degree opening (forward and reverse bevel effect), single layer, double-layer, porous, and shaped mat boards can also be customized according to customer requirements.

3. Diverse applications

The mat boards can be used as delicate picture frames and decoration with diverse cuttings. DY offers uncut, precut and custom mat board at wholesale prices. A matboard manufacturer that often innovate and develop new products to meet the changing needs of the customers and looking for ways to elevate the industry, products and processes.

For example, black mat board features: fine paper, smooth surface and is robust. Applicable to clothing bags, gift boxes, clothing tags, shoe boxes and other packaging.

The New York brand Lafayette 148 clothing tote bag is made of black mat board, the paper bag is covered with embossing, which increases the three-dimensional and artistic atmosphere of the paper bag. The logo is white gold, with fine workmanship. The black bag is in line with the simple atmosphere of Europe and America.

Black cardboard is not suitable for color printing because it is black on both sides, usually using hot stamping. This Saatchi box body is only made of hot stamping in the LOGO. It is very simple, but it is also matched with black. It is very conspicuous. The carton is covered and embossed to give the entire carton a more fashionable feel.

The black color of black cardboard is a very solemn color, but it can make other colors stand out. We can often see the combination of black and bright colors, black cardboard is used in the packaging of business gift boxes because of its elegant color. DY offers mat boards with different colors and textures.

To be a professional mat board supplier off IKEA, the company must adhere to high standard and continues to develop itself. DY aims high and is ready to provide high-quality mat boards.

Why Multi-Province Payroll Compliance Is the Hidden Challenge Canadian SMBs Face and How Folks Solves It

Running payroll in Canada can feel like crossing a country stitched from many different fabrics. Each province weaves its own pattern of tax rules, leave policies, and benefit requirements, creating a landscape where a single misstep can ripple through every paycheck. For small and mid-sized businesses, the challenge often remains hidden until growth pushes hiring beyond provincial borders or brings remote workers into the fold. What seems like a routine back-office task quickly becomes a test of accuracy, timing, and local knowledge. This is the gap that Folks set out to close, offering a way for employers to navigate Canada’s regulatory patchwork without slowing their momentum.

Provincial Rules Add Complexity

Canada’s payroll environment varies sharply by province. Federal rules set the foundation, but provincial tax rates, deductions, statutory leave entitlements, and benefit premiums add layers of complexity that employers must monitor carefully. Small and mid-sized businesses with staff across provinces or remote employees face different tax tables, reporting deadlines, and leave calculations that directly affect pay accuracy and remittance schedules.

Folks built its payroll module to address these differences. The platform calculates the correct provincial tax rates and deductions for each employee, applying updates automatically so employers avoid misapplied withholdings or late filings. Multi-location tax management allows a company with workers in Ontario, Quebec, or several other provinces to process payroll without creating separate accounts for each jurisdiction. Bilingual functionality in English and French and secure Canadian data hosting support compliance while keeping employee records accessible across language and regional boundaries.

Unified Records Improve Accuracy

Payroll errors often stem from mismatched employee data. Changes in pay rates, banking details, or benefits eligibility may not align between HR and finance systems, creating incorrect deductions or delayed payments. Smaller teams juggling separate platforms spend valuable hours reconciling information instead of focusing on strategic work.

Folks resolves these issues by combining HR and payroll in one platform. Updates to wages, hours, or tax information entered on the HR side flow directly into payroll without re-entry. This single, verified record strengthens the accuracy of every payroll run and ensures employees receive the correct pay and deductions. By removing the need for repetitive administrative work, HR staff can redirect their time to tasks that support growth and employee engagement.

Automation Keeps Provinces in Step

Each province sets its own requirements for holiday pay, pay frequency, and statutory benefits, making manual calculations both time-consuming and error-prone. Businesses that expand or hire remote employees must keep pace with shifting provincial regulations or risk penalties and audit issues.

Folks address these demands with automation designed for Canada’s regulatory landscape. Pay statements, deduction calculations, and custom pay schedules follow the applicable provincial rules without extra configuration. The system’s automated updates mean that a company hiring staff in British Columbia or Quebec can meet local payroll standards without adding new layers of setup or monitoring. Employers gain the ability to expand into new regions while maintaining accurate, on-time pay.

Reporting Strengthens Compliance

Changing tax rates and reporting requirements require ongoing attention from HR and finance teams. Companies that rely on disconnected systems risk missing a provincial update or submitting incorrect remittances, which can lead to fines and interest charges.

Folks provides detailed reporting tools that compile payroll, deductions, and benefits information across all locations. Employers can generate clear remittance and deduction summaries, simplifying the process of meeting provincial filing requirements. For organizations that want additional guidance, Folks also offers a payroll management service that brings in-house specialists to assist with configuration, compliance, and regular updates. These reporting features help companies stay audit-ready and avoid costly compliance gaps.

Scalable Payroll for Expanding Businesses

Many small businesses begin in a single province, where local tax and payroll demands can be learned over time. Growth into new provinces or the decision to hire remote staff adds a level of complexity that manual processes cannot handle efficiently. Errors multiply, compliance risks rise, and payroll teams spend more time correcting mistakes than supporting expansion plans.

Folks provides payroll that scales with company growth. Provincial tax logic, automated deductions, bilingual support, and secure Canadian data storage are built directly into the platform. By maintaining an accurate employee record and applying province-specific rules automatically, the system allows Canadian SMBs to expand with fewer administrative surprises and more predictable payroll operations. Companies gain the stability of compliant payroll across provinces while controlling the time and costs that typically accompany multi-jurisdiction growth.
