Ecological Fibers is Announcing a Price Increase on All Orders Placed
Ecological Fibers is announcing a price increase on all orders placed on or after May 1, 2021.
The re-opening of the economy has triggered an inflationary environment and over the past 3 months, transportation costs and virtually all of the materials we source have increased - in some cases dramatically. We have no option but to offset these additional costs in our product pricing going forward.
Generally speaking, increases on our Rainbow® Uncoated and Coated Papers, Textiles, Flocked Paper, and PU products will be in the 3-5% range.
We continue to invest in our operations to improve efficiency and are currently preparing to install equipment into our Massachusetts facility towards this goal.
Please contact your Sales or Customer Service Representative with any questions you may have. We appreciate your support and as always will do our best to minimize the impact on our customers.

New Price Increases
March 01, 2021 - Several market factors, including transportation rates and the strengthening American paperboard market, have increased our costs significantly. This has affected our entire industry very quickly. Many of our industries and product categories are seeing rising material costs. We continually work to mitigate cost increases through greater efficiency and have maintained our current pricing on average for 2 years or more, unfortunately the current conditions are extreme and require us to act..
The exact increase varies between grades, but on average will be around 7-8% on current business and all product orders should request the current price. In addition based upon dialog with a variety of suppliers and market information we would also feel it necessary that you be aware that this adjustment might not be the only one this year. We will continue to keep you informed of potential changes in the industry and help reduce any impact this may cause. We have tried to minimize the increase as much as possible and if you have any questions, please contact your Lamitech representative.
We appreciate your ongoing support during the unprecedented times has presented to all of us. Lamitech is committed to servicing your account in this difficult and challenging environment.
Thank you again for your business!

Fall 2020 Announcement
October 17, 2020 - Our primary focus at Lamitech has and continues to be exceeding your quality and service expectations. As part of our commitment as your supplier, we recognize the importance of stability not only in our sourcing but also, in controlling the cost of that privilege.
It probably comes as no surprise to most, that raw materials by way of paperboard products, adhesives and films etc., have and continue to escalate in cost. Additionally, and with no less of an impact, freight costs have continued to climb over the past 2 years. Lamitech takes the impact of product pricing seriously and makes every effort to internalize cost increases through increased efficiency and we strive to limit customer impact. Our efforts have always focused on internal efficiencies in production, consumption and performance first. As a direct result, for most it has been years since we have imposed an increase.
Given the continued pressures on many raw materials however, we are compelled to make an adjustment accordingly. Effective with shipments on or after November 9, 2020. This adjustment has become necessary so that we can continue to maintain the levels of product and servicing you have become accustomed to. Within the coming days, we will be in contact to provide pricing specific to your current items and demands.
