We are still facing major supply chain disruptions
and are continuing to pay enormous
premiums (up to 200% extra) to receive
raw materials on time in order to
continue at full capacity. We've also
had increased payroll costs as a result
of Maine State Employment law changes.
Added to that the effect of events in
Ukraine have increased our energy costs
by 50-100% over the past 6 months.
Consequently there have to be price increases
from 1/1/2023. Not quite as much
as last year, all prices will increase
approx 6%, which is at least below the
current level of inflation.
The new price list for custom clay chips
from 1/1/2023
is shown here.
There will be corresponding increases to
most other products and premiums
(including color
premiums, samples, stock sets,
hotstamping).
The increases will apply to any orders
for which we have no received full
payment by 12/31/2022. If you do not
have your order finalized by this time
you can pay a deposit to protect
yourself against price increases on the
proportion of the order covered by the
deposit.
