Newark BCI Announces Price Increase

The Newark BCI Division of The Newark Group, Cranford, N.J., USA, has announced an 8% price increase on all sheets, cut-to-size panels, loose-leaf panels, and spines. The increase for these specialty products will be 5% and will apply to all of the division's foam-padded products, unitized covers, and various lines of industrial packaging products. It will become effective with all orders shipped on or after April 9.

Newark BCI serves the global coverboard, file, puzzle, game, and associated markets, with converting plants in Chicago, Ill; Franklin, Ohio; and Los Angeles, Calif. With the invention of multi-ply laminating of completed book covers (two panels and a spine joined together in a continuous manufacturing process), The Newark Group began serving the book manufacturer market with this new "unitizing" capability. Initially known as Book Covers Inc., and later BCI, this business is now a part of Newark BCI.
