The hottest raw material cost increases, and the p

The printing industry as a whole is tight with the increase of raw material costs

since 2011, many enterprises in the printing industry have felt the shortage of funds due to the increase of raw material costs. From printing enterprises to printing related industries, they have been affected by the increase in the cost of raw materials

first, ink enterprises have raised prices

Flint Group announced that it would raise the sales price of ink in North America from August 1. The reason for the price rise is the continuous rise in the cost of raw materials. The company said that 2011 was a very difficult year for enterprises, and the supply and cost of holding listed companies with diversified raw materials and professional development of various sectors were facing a severe test. The continuous rise in raw material costs is obvious to all in the industry, and the rise in 2011 is still strong. At the same time, the supply of raw materials also tends to be tight. The current law is that the prices of many products will rise almost every 30 to 60 days

the specific situation of the company's price increase this time is: the price of white ink in the field of packaging and narrow rotation increases by 10%, the price of other inks increases by 6%, and the price increases of UV flexo ink and narrow rotation UV ink are both 5%. In the field of gravure printing, the price rise of all gravure printing inks is 7%

on August 4, Fujifilm also publicized on its official website that the material selection of the system is generally hips or ABS cloth. Since September 1, the company has started to raise some of its ink prices in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Among them, the prices of solvent based printing inks increased by 5% to 15%, UV printing and flexo printing inks increased by 3% to 8%, and emulsions and chemicals increased by 8% to 15%

II. Profit margin compression of paper enterprises

where is the application of durometer in the rising cost of pulp and imported waste paper? With the overall decline in demand, the profit space of the paper industry in the third quarter is being compressed

the third quarter performance of Meili Paper continued the market of increasing income without increasing profit in the first half of the year. Although the company's operating income increased slightly by 6.4% year-on-year, its net profit decreased by 4.98%. The company has previously said that the rising price of raw materials and the increase in financial expenses are important reasons for the poor profitability of the company

although the appreciation of RMB is beneficial to the domestic paper industry, which is heavily dependent on imports of raw materials, after the centralized expansion since last year, the overall price of paper products is declining, while the prices of raw materials such as pulp and imported waste paper continue to be high, and the profit space of the industry is being compressed. Huang Fan, a researcher at Dongguan securities, believes that, on the one hand, domestic paper production capacity was put into centralized use in the first half of the year, and market competition was intensifying; On the other hand, the overall demand of the industry fell significantly. In September, the peak consumption season, the price of finished paper fell slightly. Relevant data of China paper also shows that since the middle of last year, the prices of various varieties of coated paper have fallen from a high of 7500-8000 yuan/ton to 6000-6500 yuan/ton, and there is still a downward trend, while the price of double offset paper has also fallen by nearly 15%

in this context, the Ministry of industry and information technology has increased the elimination target of backward production capacity in the paper industry, which will be beneficial to leading companies in the industry. The elimination target of backward production capacity in the paper industry proposed by the Ministry of industry and information technology in 2011 was 7.445 million tons, an increase of 72% over 4.32 million tons in 2010, and the elimination amount accounted for 7% to 8% of the existing production capacity. The industry believes that paper companies with upstream self-made pulp business and high variety prosperity can more effectively control product production costs in the case of changes in pulp market prices. In the third quarter, the performance of three listed companies, Shanghai Lvxin, which is mainly engaged in high-end packaging paper, Annie shares, which is mainly engaged in special paper, and Guanhao high tech, increased year-on-year

III. rubber blanket enterprises raise prices to ease cost pressure

recently, some domestic printing rubber blanket manufacturing enterprises announced to raise the sales price of ordinary rubber blanket. It is reported that due to the price rise of raw materials, when domestic manufacturers were preparing to adjust the price in January 2011, the base cloth used in the production of rubber blanket increased by 6-9 yuan per square meter year-on-year. The production of ordinary rubber blanket requires the use of four layers of base cloth, basically without considering the rise of other chemical raw materials. The production cost of base cloth alone has increased by 24-36 yuan per square meter

the judgment of domestic blanket manufacturing enterprises at that time: the unprecedented rise of base cloth is temporary, which is a factor of hype. Therefore, considering the consideration of printing enterprises, the general adjustment of domestic ordinary blanket at the beginning of the year was 10-12 yuan per square meter

as the three major consumables of printing enterprises, ink, paper and blanket, their price rise will inevitably have a great impact on printing enterprises. However, the printing enterprises in China are mainly small and medium-sized enterprises, which have low liquidity and few financing channels. Under the pressure of rising costs, enterprises have to compress their profits to ensure the timely completion of printing. However, the development of this situation has aggravated the vicious circle of small and medium-sized printing enterprises, resulting in serious loopholes in the operation of enterprises. The reduction of enterprise profits can not be compensated in terms of wages, and small and medium-sized enterprises are also struggling
