To Our Valued Customers:

All major suppliers of forms bond and related products have announced a price increase. The particulars are as follows:

MeadWestvaco

Effective with shipments on September 1, 2004, we will be increasing the price of all Laser MOCR, Moistrite Forms Bond, Clearspring Offset and uncoated Hi-D Reply Card rolls by $2.65/cwt. This increase includes both a market increase along with a fuel surcharge.

In response to market feedback, MWV has elected to incorporate the current fuel surcharge into the transaction price. This surcharge will no longer appear as a separate line item. This change will enable their customers to more accurately estimate final invoice costs. The fuel surcharge will be reviewed on a quarterly basis. It is their intention to eliminate the fuel surcharge as soon as fuel costs return to historic levels.
