SPS have been forced to increase the prices on paper products following several price increases in the paper market this year. Apparently, in a recent survey, a third of printers said their paper costs had increased by more than 20%. Throughout 2010 SPS have absorbed all of the price increases to support distributors. Unfortunately, this can no longer be maintained & as of 15th November they will need to quote for all paper product enquiries & orders. Fortunately, SPS anticipate that paper prices will be stable in 2011, and thus avoid another situation that is difficult for all concerned. SPS have assured the trade that they will take every step to offer a highly competitive rate on all SPS products in 2011.
