Industry supplier HVG Graphics has increased some prices 3-5%, due to skyrocketing shipping costs, while others have managed a small decrease. A new catalogue will be release next month.

| The new HVG Graphics catalogue will be available in April |
HVG Graphics Media is publishing an updated and refreshed product catalogue in early April 2021.
General Manager Richard Lucas says: "Last year gave us the opportunity to consider our product portfolio carefully and prepare for changes so it better suits our customers and the changing market. By strengthening our dependable core range, rationalising a small portion of outdated products and now introducing some important new products for the visual communications market, we have a product range second to none.

"In addition, we have sought and achieved a range of Australian relatable product certifications for fire safety and slip resistance to help you make informed product choices with peace of mind.
However, the global shipping situation has sent container costs skyward: "Unfortunately, recent shipping and freight cost increases along with increased raw material costs have impacted prices, however this is mitigated to some extent by the recent strengthening of the Australian dollar. In our new catalogue some prices are changing. We have done our best to minimise these changes without sacrificing on product quality or the high level of service our customers rely on.
Lucas notes that some products will experience an increase of 3-5%, while some maintain stable pricing, and some - thanks to supplier support, will decrease.
He says in a letter to customers: "2020 was a year of support for our industry. At HVG Graphics Media we know it is crucial to continue that theme this year and our team will be in touch soon to understand more about your business and how we can assist.
"We thank you for your continued support in our vibrant and dynamic industry."
