Quad/Graphics has announced a temporary surcharge on select printing products, including inks, coatings, and varnishes, in response to sharply rising production costs. The company cites increased prices for petroleum-based raw materials, higher energy expenses, and ongoing global supply chain disruptions—partly driven by geopolitical tensions—as the main reasons behind the move. While Quad has attempted to absorb some of these costs internally, the rapid and sustained increases have made it necessary to pass a portion onto customers. The surcharge is intended to be a short-term measure, remaining in place until market conditions stabilize, but it will likely lead to higher costs for businesses that rely on printed materials such as magazines, packaging, and marketing products.
