Feb 19, 2010. /Lesprom Network/. Arctic Paper announces that increasing input costs, like raw materials and transportation, have had a strong negative impact on the profitability for paper producers. Arctic Paper has so far absorbed these increased variable costs, but the company now needs to announce a price increase on all uncoated fine paper grades, both in folio sheets and reels. The price increase will range from 5 to 8% and will differ from the current price levels per country and paper grade. The price increase will be implemented for all markets from 1 April, as Nordic Journal Paper reported.
