To Our Valued Customers:

 

NewPage™ Carbonless Papers has announced a price increase on all carbonless roll products, Defensa® products, and carbonless accessories (Fan-Apart Adhesive, CB and CF sprays) sold in the United States and Canada. 

 

The increase will be 6% for all carbonless papers & accessories, and $3/cwt on Defensa® security paper products.  Both increases will be effective with Deliveries on or after Monday, August 22, 2005.

 

NewPage™ has experienced significant cost increases in core areas of their business, primarily driven by the price of energy and fuel.  

 

The 60% increase in the price of oil has greatly affected freight costs as well as the inbound delivery of wood products for pulp production.

 

New price pages will be mailed shortly.

 

If you have any questions, please contact your local Territory Manager.

 

Thank you for your ongoing support of Brown Paper Company.

 

 

Sincerely,

 

 

 

Susan L. Thompson, Manager
