Expensive paper due to high raw material prices
Due to the persistently high energy and raw material costs, paper manufacturers have increased their prices again in recent weeks. Unfortunately, above-average demand and capacity bottlenecks in the pulp sector mean that the cost situation is unlikely to ease in the near future.

As the leading paper wholesaler Antalis announced in a press release, it too cannot avoid adjusting its prices. As of May 14, prices will be adjusted by 4 percent, which will be included in the invoice amounts. In the copy paper range, however, the surcharges will continue to be shown openly. As the increased raw material prices also have an impact on the production and transportation costs of other materials, Antalis is also forced to increase the prices of the Visual Communications range. Boards, self-adhesive films and other POS materials will be up to 3.5 percent more expensive. Fortunately, however, there are also many products in this range that can be kept at the previous price level. To take account of these developments and the need for price transparency, Antalis has revised its print price list. It will be sent to affected customers from May.
