Summer Update

Simon Miller • July 18, 2022

Summer 2022 News - The paper mill strike now feels long ago, how ever, the effects are still being felt with many materials still on long lead times, we are however seeing our levels of unallocated material increase, this meaning we are able to be a little more flexible. The general feeling though is that the supply issues will be with us for the remainder of 2022. Our average lead time is now around 3 - 4weeks, so things are improving, if slowly.

As a result of the improving material situation, we have been able to "help" a few customers out with urgent jobs recently we thank them for their feedback and it has been good to be able to do so.

We would remind everyone to please gain an up to date price, materials, boxes, cores, transport and energy costs are all on the increase and it is difficult to always maintain previous prices.

Brexit, Covid, Paper Mill strikes, the last years have been full of challenge, as we reach the mid point of 2022, we look forward to 2023 and hope that we only have to deal with the usual problems!
