Pulp costs increase and paper costs increase in 2010

Sappi Fine Paper Europe has announced that it is putting up its prices as of the 1st July in all |European and overseas markets. They claim that the last increase “barely compensated for the extraordinary increase in pulp costs.

The price will increase on its flexible packaging, label and release liner papers and boards by 6%. Only in April they raised the price of its coated fine papers by 10% and they did say they would stagger the increases for its mechanical coated papers across the next few months.

The director of Sappi Fine Paper Europe, Gregory Gettinger said “Our first price rise has barely compensated for the extraordinary increase in pulp costs due to the severe pulp shortage resulting from the earthquake in Chile.” He finished by stating that the last price increase was “unavoidable.”

Even though the price increase is industry wide here at Ultimate Banners we are trying to resist passing these price increases on to our customers, which would mean more value for money.
