The ongoing rise of raw material costs, particularly pulp, chemicals and energy in combination with extremely high freight rates due to global logistic constraints make further price adjustments unavoidable.
Therefore price increases for all Coated and Uncoated Flexible Packaging and Silicone Base Papers will be applied by 1 October.
The Sappi sales team will be in further contact to discuss the details of the implementation, taking into account individual existing agreements.
