There has been wide publicity concerning corrugated board shortages and we would like to re-assure all our clients that at present it hasnt affected us. We have been aware of the problem since November last year and have been living with it. There are several issues that have combined together to cause the problem. With the rise of online shopping,... its estimated that Amazon are taking about 35% of the total UK output of board, the big corrugators were bringing it in from Europe, but thats now dried up owing to delays at the ports owing to Brexit. Another Brexit issue has been a squeeze on suppliers of paper & wood pulp from Scandinavia, the US & China, with industry stocking up prior to 31st December, this meant that Felixstowe had a waiting time of 2-3 weeks in December. This is easing now, thankfully, although demand for corrugated remains very strong. Prior to December we could source board in a week to 10 days & to be frank we didnt give it a second thought, as our stocks were sufficient to cover all eventualities. What we have done since we encountered the issue, is increase our stock levels of the key items and work to a plan accordingly. This is all working so far & we are coping well. Owing to the demand for board, the paper industry is raising its prices, we have no plans to increase our prices but will have to do so if we can no longer absorb the increases in the log term.
