Wrench paper is also priced at around one million tomans in the market.

In the cardboard market, each kilogram of inner board costs about 500 thousand tomans and glossy cardboard costs about 470 thousand tomans. These figures show that the reduction of prices in parts of the printing and publishing raw materials market, although it can reduce some of the cost pressure on buyers, has not yet spread to all items in this field.

Improving transactions by lowering prices

Referring to the market situation in recent days, Hamid Nikdel, the head of the Paper and Cardboard Union, in a conversation with Arjan's ambassador, said: "With the decrease in prices over the past week, we have witnessed an opening in activities and a boom in buying and selling, and the market situation has improved; So that buyers have come to the market again.

Referring to the effect of the reopening of schools and universities on the activities of paper sellers, he added: In these days, the activities of paper market activists have flourished. According to Nikdel, the second half of every year is usually associated with increased activity in the field of publication and production of printing and publishing products, and it is hoped that the decrease in the price of paper will also help to continue this trend this year.

In addition to paper and cardboard, the price of composites and other essentials used in the printing industry is among the factors affecting the production costs of printed products.

price stability; The main demand of the activists of the publishing industry

It can be said that the recent decrease in the price of writing paper and the relative improvement of transactions can be a sign of greater mobility of the printing and publishing market; However, the difference in price trends among different items shows that the market is still facing fluctuations and uncertainties.

The stability of the price of raw materials is one of the main demands of the activists of the printing and publishing industry; Because the constant fluctuation of the price of paper, cardboard, ink and other essentials makes it difficult to plan for production, estimate costs and adjust the price of final products; Therefore, the continuation of price reduction along with the relative stability of the market can play an effective role in improving the working conditions of publishers, printers and other activists in this field.

The stability of the price of raw materials is one of the most important prerequisites for planning and continuous activity in the printing and publishing industry. Publishers, printers and paper market operators need a predictable vision of the market situation to adjust production plans, estimate costs and determine the final price of their products; A subject that is accompanied by difficulty in the conditions of constant price fluctuations.

A sudden increase or decrease in the price of paper, cardboard, ink and other printing essentials, in addition to directly affecting production costs, can affect decisions about the number of prints, the time of publication and even the supply of new products. In such a situation, publishers and printing houses have to constantly review their plans to manage costs; A problem that can disrupt the process of production and supply of cultural products.

In addition, the fluctuation of the price of raw materials will eventually affect the price of books and other printed products and may increase the cost of the audience's access to these products. From this point of view, stability in the market of paper and printing supplies is not only the demand of union activists, but it can also play a role in maintaining the production capacity of publishers, the continuity of printing houses and supporting the audience's access to books and cultural products.

Based on this, the recent reduction in the price of paper can lead to a sustainable improvement in market conditions if it is accompanied by relative stability of prices and the possibility of continuous supply of raw materials. In order to overcome the fluctuating conditions of the market, printing and publishing industry activists need more than anything a predictable environment so that they can more confidently plan for the production, publication and supply of their products. The continuation of such conditions can be the basis for a more stable market boom and strengthening of cultural and publishing activities in the country.
