Due to the unique and unprecedented situation in the corrugated cardboard market, we find it important to inform you about the current developments and their significant impacts.
Following the already increased prices in the last quarter of FY 2020, further price increases and longer delivery times are expected in the future.
This affects not only the paper market but also all other raw materials. Productions and suppliers are thus forced to continuously increase prices.
As a result, our standard range in our shop www.boxxco.com must be continuously adjusted to the current market situation.
Whether bubble wrap, adhesive tapes, strapping bands, or stretch films, availability will be continuously adjusted in price, be very limited, and longer delivery times must be expected.
[Reasons]
Shortage of the raw material paper/cardboard due to:
- significantly higher demand for paper due to the "pandemic-induced boom" in online trade
- the literal "siphoning off" of large quantities of paper by Chinese buyers at disproportionately high prices from European manufacturers
[Production Articles]
The corrugated cardboard industry is unfortunately not only struggling with skyrocketing raw material prices, but a veritable distribution battle has broken out. The primary concern is to be supplied with enough corrugated cardboard to maintain production.
For the production of corrugated cardboard products, our producers and suppliers are now demanding prices that are significantly beyond the EUWID paper price development and are non-negotiable in terms of delivery dates or prices.
Our recommendation to you:
- Check your need for shipping cartons proactively to avoid delivery bottlenecks
- Always have our individual offers updated in advance!
We ask for your understanding in this difficult time and hope for continued good cooperation.
