The paper market and energy crisis

Regular readers will have heard about paper shortages and massively increasing prices, which I have written about on this blog before. However, given the extreme price increases for energy last week, the situation is even more critical... 

I suggest you read the full Printweek article HERE.

As well as the paper mills listed in the article, the Lessebo mill in Sweden announced they would only be producing on a daily basis, depending on the energy costs for that day. Read the article HERE.

It's a very distressing situation and one that sadly affects all of us that are involved in design, print and paper. Please remember to discuss projects well ahead of time and also when talking to clients, suggest you build in a contingency in case the price of the project increases due to energy prices.
