Plastic Price Increase
East Riding Sacks is letting customers know that the cost of raw materials used to make poly-lined sacks has gone up sharply. This follows a big rise in global plastic prices during March and April 2026.
In recent weeks, the cost of key plastics used in packaging, especially polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), has increased quickly. Some reports show rises of between 20% and over 50% in a very short time. These changes are mainly due to major disruption to global shipping routes.
Impact on Packaging Costs
These market conditions are directly affecting the packaging industry, including poly-lined sack production.
For businesses that use packaging materials, this is causing:
-Fast and unpredictable price increases
-Less product availability and longer delivery times
-Pressure across manufacturing and distribution
Industry experts believe prices may stay high in the short term until shipping routes and supply chains become more stable.
Important Notice from East Riding Sacks
Because of these unusual market conditions, East Riding Sacks is seeing rising costs for raw materials. This means prices for poly-lined sacks may need to change as the market continues to move.
We strongly advise customers to plan ahead and place orders early where possible to help avoid further price rises.
