As you might know, I usually post every Thursday, but it’s been a couple of weeks since my last update. Things have been hectic with all the recent packaging price rises!
Unfortunately, the trend isn’t slowing down. Packaging manufacturers, Schutz and Mauser have announced further price increases, effective from 15th April. Even if a ceasefire in the Iran conflict were to be agreed (which, at the time of writing, looks extremely unlikely), the impacts of recent geopolitical events will continue to ripple through supply chains. Prices are unlikely to return to previous levels immediately once the conflict ends.
We’re keeping a close eye on the market and will share confirmed pricing and availability as soon as we can. In the meantime, it’s a good idea to contact our team to check prices before placing orders, it may still make sense to secure your stock now before further increases.
On a positive note, March was our best performing month in the history of PurePac. Not only did we process 38 more orders than in February, but our order values also increased (note: before price increases).
Even though our warehouse looks full to the brim in this pic, it was taken before everything started flying out the door. Again, trying to look on the bright side, with everything moving so quickly, the end-of-year stock take was a piece of cake this year.
If we can help with your packaging needs, please just let us know.
