Reasons for price increase of raw paper Since the second half of 2009, the domestic paper price has continued to rise, which has caused paper packaging and printing companies to suffer greatly, which has increased the cost pressures of companies. The rise in paper prices occurred under the circumstances of domestic and international economic recovery and rising demand for packaging. There are both reasonable factors for coping with rising costs and shifts in cost pressures to downstream companies, driving up the unreasonable price of prices. There are several reasons for the rise. In general, there are the following points.
Market supply and demand and rising raw material prices The sustained development of the domestic economy in recent years has led to the development of the paper industry. Its fixed investment has maintained rapid growth for a long time. The scale of production of paper-making companies has expanded, and the demand for raw materials has also risen rapidly. In addition, with the completion of the domestic raw materials such as low-cost pulp wood pulp, the company's raw material costs gradually increase, the continuous increase in the demand for raw materials such as international wood pulp and waste paper, also pulled the boom in the wood pulp market. The sharp increase in the price of wood pulp and waste paper in the international market was considered by the industry as an important factor in pushing up the price of paper products.
Increased export volume caused tight supply and led to rising paper prices In 2008 and the first half of 2009, the global financial crisis, raw paper exports were blocked, and domestic raw paper prices remained stable. After the recovery of the economy, exports recovered and increased, resulting in tight supply of domestic base paper and driving up the price of paper.
Policy Constraints Papermaking, as a highly polluting industry, is greatly affected by energy-saving and emission-reduction policies. According to the relevant policies, some paper-making enterprises have been shut down, while large-scale paper-making companies have not been able to expand production temporarily, resulting in a reduction in the supply of base paper.
Human Factors In the second half of 2008, the supply of original paper was in excess of demand, the price plummeted and the inventory was overstocked. Carton enterprises purchased large quantities of paper. In the event that stocks basically run out, coupled with the relationship between exports and supply and demand, paper companies began to increase prices. The role of the Paper Enterprises Alliance has been brought into play, and some leading companies have even played a full right to speak. Some of them are also the result of some international backgrounds and the manipulation of pulp companies. In addition, the rise in paper prices and the malicious competition of paper packaging companies, low price dumping, lack of a unified coordination organization and active response are also part of the relationship.
Responsible measures for increasing the price of raw paper to determine a reasonable procurement strategy Paper packaging companies in accordance with their own circumstances to develop and implement a reasonable procurement strategy, is to deal with the original paper market price fluctuations an effective means. One must have a reasonable inventory, neither affecting the production of enterprises, nor increase the cost of inventory, should reduce the pressure of procurement funds, improve the company's cash flow; Second, according to the production order and production cycle with the original paper supplier to sign a certain amount The supply contract guarantees the supply of raw paper and price stability within a certain period of time; Third, consider multiple base paper suppliers, and try to purchase as close as possible; Fourth, pay attention to the flexible diversity of the contract, such as part of the supply according to the contract price, and the other part Can be used for a week or a month, according to the current market price to determine, and determine the purchase volume based on production and storage conditions.
To adjust the mode of operation and expand the product structure, enterprises should actively adjust their product mix and operating methods according to market and policy changes, fundamentally change the passive situation, and reasonably avoid risks. When the profit of a certain product is low, such products will be produced less or not produced. When companies participate in bidding, they must carefully consider the bid price and quantity, and cannot blindly push down prices. The bid must be conducted around the market conditions, and take into account reasonable profits and the risk of base paper price increases.
Actively communicate with users through various channels to actively communicate with downstream users, build bridges of feelings and business, inform users in an appropriate manner, and appropriately increase product prices through negotiation. Users are advised to use moderate packaging for the product; make some box changes; persuade users to do some paper replacement to reduce costs; or use domestic paper instead of imported paper to save costs; calculate the product volume to provide users with reference, try full car delivery Wait.
Strengthening management and reducing production costs Scientifically and rationally operating equipment, increasing the utilization of raw materials, and rationally arranging technological production can effectively reduce material waste and reduce costs. Through training, publicity and education, etc., the quality of workers is improved and they are consciously concerned about product quality and enterprise development. Efforts have been made to create glory in energy conservation and consumption reduction, to waste a shameful management atmosphere, and to raise employees' awareness of energy conservation and consumption reduction. At the same time, enterprises must conduct data-based statistics and assessments on the production consumption of each machine station and each post, and regularly publish assessment results. At the same time, they grasp the data and make comparisons between them. The factory's production energy consumption, raw material consumption, technological innovation, energy saving, etc., are included in the track linked to employee income. Employees are encouraged to carry out activities such as equipment improvement and technological innovation to increase their enthusiasm for production processes, technological innovation, and energy saving.
Technological innovation and enhancement of enterprise resilience The adoption of new technologies is an effective means to increase productivity, product quality and competitiveness of enterprises. Of course, the introduction of new technologies must meet the market development trend, which is conducive to the realization of energy conservation and consumption reduction and green environmental protection, and can reduce production costs. This requires companies to conduct in-depth market research before the introduction of technology, and to accurately analyze and grasp the industry development trends, product market prospects and production costs. At present, the use of automation equipment in the postpress manufacturing process will be an irresistible trend, and will be the direction and goal of the introduction of new technologies in paper packaging factories.
To carry out technical innovation in various aspects on the basis of existing enterprises is an effective way to cope with the increase in the cost of raw paper. First of all, companies need to have innovative talents; Second, we must correctly determine the company's innovative programs and directions based on the actual situation of the region and the company, innovative projects must be analyzed through market prospects and actual data to avoid Detours in corporate innovation; Third, innovation must comply with the current low-carbon economy, environmental protection and sustainable development requirements; Fourth, through management innovation, the company's production resources should be carried out without additional investment. Scientifically and rationally reorganize and integrate, including the rational use of equipment, rational use of personnel, reasonable adjustment of labor quotas, labor remuneration and other aspects to achieve cost savings; Fifth, we must formulate a reasonable incentive system to create a "saving, innovative" corporate culture.
Giving full play to the role of industry associations The paper packaging and printing industry associations, as service agencies for enterprises, have the advantages of wide working relationships, more informed information, and richer management experience. They should give full play to their functions, strengthen cooperation among enterprises, and jointly protect the industry. Benefits, as well as the role of bridges and bonds between government departments and companies, enterprises and enterprises. In response to the disorderly price increases of base paper and the price alliances of papermaking companies, the association is responding to information from relevant government agencies and making suggestions for countermeasures.
Trade associations should keep track of paper prices from time to time, make reasonable predictions about price movements over a period of time, and form a document to inform each member company in a timely manner as a reference for corporate procurement. Organize enterprises to jointly formulate control plans for the purchase of base papers, promote alliances among various packaging and printing companies, increase the right to speak, and negotiate a malicious price increase in the paper industry or paper agency. At the same time, the organization of paper packaging companies on the market price of papermaking materials research, based on this, with full market research data and paper companies to carry out cost negotiations, reveal the true cost of paper companies, and urge papermaking companies to adjust paper prices. Paper packaging and printing companies are also required to communicate with upstream and downstream companies at all times so that a strategic cooperative relationship between papermaking, packaging, and users can be established throughout the region.
Enterprises should proceed from the long-term interests, abandon the ill-conceived and abnormal business practices, and promote the healthy, orderly, scientific, and sustainable development of the packaging and printing industry. Strengthen solidarity and collaboration among companies. On the basis of alliances, some companies are organized to acquire or merge a group of large and medium-sized paper-making companies to form a stable supply base paper, in order to achieve an excessively fast, excessively fierce, and disorderly price increase.
Local industry associations should also actively guide and accelerate the transformation of the development mode of the paper packaging industry, adjust the industry, industry, product structure, increase the added value and technical content of products, build an ultra-large paper packaging enterprise group, and improve the overall level of the paper packaging industry. Only in this way can we grasp the bargaining power of the upper and lower reaches.
In a word, the paper packaging and printing industry should establish regular publishing industry information, strengthen information research, realize information sharing in the industry, and establish and improve the linkage mechanism for the price of paper packaging products under the organization of the association, so as to curb the malicious low-cost dumping behavior of some enterprises and achieve The healthy development of the industry.
Summary There are many factors driving the price increase of base paper, and its impact is also multi-faceted. Paper packaging companies can only respond positively if they clearly see their impact on the industry. Of course, product quality is the key to the survival of a company. It cannot be used to cut corners or use inferior paper because of the increase in the price of base paper. In the end, it is only the company itself who suffers. Enterprises should take a proactive approach to increase the price of raw paper and raise the cost, increase the management level, innovate production technology, broaden the product structure, minimize the cost, communicate with industry associations, communicate with upstream and downstream companies, and keep abreast of market information. The only way to make correct price predictions is to increase the ability to withstand risks in the material price fluctuations and accelerate the development of enterprises.
