A recent report confirmed that the #1 concern USA printers face for 2006 was raising paper costs. The cost of paper now seats at 22% as a percent of total sales and once all material are factored in, this equates to 35% of sales. Paper has increased over 5% so far this year, while prepress consumables, plates and ink have all gone up 4%. Other concerns cited include competition & pricing; labor & staffing; energy costs; and health insurance.
Paper.com has over 15,000 paper items for commercial printers, available for immediate shipment.
