Educational publishers: if you rely on paper produced in North America, your print schedule may come under serious pressure soon.

Currently, we're seeing the market disrupted by:
→ Tight allocation: long-term customers are more likely to be prioritized
→ A paper mill shutdown: overall supply to the market is down following a Domtar mill closing due to an equipment issue
→ Price increases: North American uncoated freesheet producers are implementing increases in the 4-9% range
→ And more

In our latest blog post, we break down how these issues affect your publishing schedules and offer practical strategies to maintain supply chain reliability and control costs. Read here: https://hubs.li/Q04kN2Wr0
