Price Change Notification
To our valued customers,
With the first quarter almost behind us, we continue to experience soaring paper costs, tightening supplies, and delayed delivery times. Freight costs are affecting all products, with added surcharges becoming the new normal. Cabot will absorb as much as we can for now. Poly propylene and PVC is hitting our strapping costs and delivery times continue to be delayed. Please order ahead to avoid delivery time disappointment.
Please note:
- The order presented is from future (top) to past (bottom).
- New increases since our last letter are in orange.
- Decreases are in green.
- Updates before November, 2021 have been removed.
