Details

  • The price adjustment will apply globally across multiple thermal paper applications, including labels, receipts, and POS systems.

  • The increase is scheduled to take effect from April 1, 2026, depending on delivery schedules and contractual agreements with customers.

  • According to the company, the decision is driven by rising costs for raw materials, logistics, and distribution, which continue to put pressure on production expenses.
