CONSUMABLES: Changes in Prices and Delivery Times

Global events are once again having a significant impact on the consumables market. The unstable situation in the Middle East has severely disrupted maritime transport and supply chains. The market is facing a shortage of basic raw materials, and energy and transportation costs are constantly rising, leading to a global increase in the prices of all input materials used in the production of labels and ribbons (from chemicals to paper and films).

For a long time, we were able to cope with this across-the-board price increase without raising the prices of our products.

Thanks to our large inventory, we were able to maintain the original prices you’ve come to expect from us.

However, our old inventory has now been completely depleted, and we must purchase all new materials at significantly higher prices. For this reason, we are forced to implement an unavoidable price increase for the consumables we supply. Your new orders will be recalculated, and the increase will be reflected in the new price quotes.

Last but not least, in addition to price pressure on manufacturers, delivery times for materials have also increased across the board . Currently, these are as long as 4–6 weeks. We therefore ask that you place your orders well in advance. Only timely planning will allow us to guarantee you uninterrupted deliveries without unnecessary disruptions to your production.

Thank you for your understanding of this situation, which is dictated by the global market, and we greatly appreciate the trust you have placed in us so far.
