Tariffs

I don’t like how often we’re getting letters like this in 2025. 😞

Dear Valued Printing Customer,

We are writing to inform you of an upcoming increase in printing plate costs, due to a newly implemented 15% tariff imposed by the U.S. government on imported aluminum products. This tariff applies to all finished goods containing aluminum, including aluminum lithographic printing plates.

As a result, the cost of each printing plate used on our press will increase by $1.52, which reflects the additional cost passed on to us by our manufacturer. Please note: we will not add any markup to this increased cost.
