Lecta, Spain, this past week announced a price increase for its thermal and carbonless paper deliveries, effective Sept. 4, 2017. The increase will be around 6% in thermal papers and 10% for carbonless papers, depending on format and country.

The price increase is unavoidable to offset the increase in manufacturing costs due to the continuously rising prices of raw materials, particularly pulp and chemicals, Lecta noted.

"Lecta sales teams are at our customers’ disposal to provide specific information on how the price increase will be applied by product on a country by country basis," Lecta stated in a release.
