Recent developments in the Middle East have contributed to increased volatility in global oil markets, resulting in rising petroleum-based costs. As a result, key raw materials used in label and ribbon manufacturing—including Inks, PET film, waxes, and resins—are experiencing upward price pressure. In addition, we are seeing continued increases in freight and logistics costs, further impacting overall supply chain expenses.
Currently, no pricing changes are being implemented on the above products. However, if these conditions persist, we may need to pass along a portion of these increases at a later date. There have been paper/film price increases announced today. Two paper manufacturers have announced increases of 12.5% effective 20 April 2026.
We will continue to monitor the situation and evaluate market conditions closely. If any other paper mills announce a price increase that exceeds the amount above, we will update this page. Our goal is to keep you informed and provide advance notice of any changes, should they become necessary.
