Customer Commentary (CONT’D FROM PAGE 26)
Of the increase announced, independent box makers, not having the luxury to delay a pass-through of higher material costs, will thus experience a significant cost-price squeeze in the near term. As customers, we are not welcoming a corrugated box increase, especially in this recession. Yet, the mutually beneficial relationship will never be terminated because of price. A willingness to resolve problems fairly and the best interest of both parties will carry us through. For comments contact John Widera at jwidera@calbox. com or Chris Widera, at chris@calbox.com.
