SunPac is so happy to have you as a customer and we always strive to give you the best value and the best service available. We have done our best to keep your costs down, but the wave of industry-wide price increases in nearly every packaging market from every supplier has hit and as inventory is depleted, we have been forced to raise prices.

Please talk to your salesperson about possible ways to mitigate some or all of these increases by switching to higher yield films and/or using packaging equipment that saves both labor as well as material.

Also, please keep in mind that just like toilet during the pandemic, order quantity may be limited on some items and lead times could also be extended. We should be able to cover you with what you always purchase or something very similar. If you are ever told that we are out of stock of an item and you need it, please talk to your salesperson about substitute items.
