Sappi Europe, a leading producer of high quality graphic papers, today announces a price increase of 5-7% across its full range of Woodfree Coated (WFC) papers sold in European Markets. The increase will apply to all new orders and deliveries from 12 October 2026.
The adjustment is necessary to address the continued escalation of costs across the supply chain. These cost increases have placed significant pressure on the economics of paper production and require a corresponding market response to ensure sustainable operations.
Despite ongoing efficiency initiatives and cost-control measures, current market conditions make this increase unavoidable. The adjustment will enable Sappi Europe to continue delivering the high levels of product quality and service reliability that customers expect.
Customers will be contacted individually by Sappi Europe’s sales organisation to discuss implementation details.
