Spicers Australia will soon be increasing the costs of several of its products, with affected portfolios including Commercial Print and Digital Print, Visual Communications, and Narrow Web/Roll Label.

The new pricing model will take effect on 1 October.

Within the Commercial Print and Digital Print portfolio, prices of self-adhesive sheets will go up four per cent, while carbonless sheets and rolls will cost five per cent more and speciality papers will cost six per cent more.

In the Visual Communications portfolio, roll media and finishing prices will increase between three to six per cent, banner pricing will increase between six to 11 per cent, rigid products will increase between five to 10 per cent, and all other products in this category will increase between three to six per cent.

As for the Narrow Web/Roll Label category, all products will see a four per cent price hike.

In a statement to customers, Spicers Australia said, “As you are likely aware, our highly competitive industry continues to present challenges for all involved. Unfortunately, Spicers is not exempt from these difficulties, and we are experiencing ongoing upward pressure on our supply pricing.

“The price adjustments listed below reflect direct increases in material costs from our manufacturers, largely due to rising shipping expenses, energy costs, input costs, and inflation, particularly from our European suppliers.

“While these increases are not exclusive to Europe, the majority do originate from this region, and we find ourselves in the position of having to pass these costs on to our customers.
 
“As we have done in the past, Spicers remains committed to mitigating the impact of these increases wherever possible to ensure a sustainable and reliable supply option for your business.”
