Price increase for coated paper products

Date Posted - 15 Jan 2009 | Posted By - Jacqui Sanwell | Comments 0

The coated paper manufacturing sector has seen some significant re-structuring.  It also continues to see costs rise coupled with a deterioration in the UK exchange rate which makes it unattractive for suppliers to export their products to the UK.  Those factors are to be passed on to the end-user.  Coated paper prices are therefore expected to rise by 7 – 9% at the beginning of February 2009.

Whilst the coated producers have a specific set of circumstances affecting them, some of those factors are not exclusive to their area so I wouldn’t be surprised if we see similar rises in the not too distant future for the uncoated sector.
