Warning Trends
Tariffs are driving up paper and paperboard product prices
- The Trump administration’s reciprocal tariffs, which apply general tariff rate increases to all imports from most nations, are set to take effect on August 7 after the national tariff rates were finalized on August 1.
- As a result, the leading paper and paperboard product import sources, Canada, the European Union, China, and Mexico, all face significantly increased tariff rates of 35.0%, 15.0%, 54.0%, and 25.0%, respectively. Together, these countries account for 77.3% of paper and paperboard imports.
- However, USMCA-originating products, meaning those produced entirely in Canada or Mexico, are exempt from the elevated tariffs.
- The United States is highly reliant on paper and paperboard imports to meet domestic demand, with imports accounting for approximately 30.5% of total US consumption in this market.
- Due to these factors, the Yale Budget Lab anticipates tariffs will increase prices in the paper and paperboard market by 5.3% in the short term.

Vendor & Supply Chain Analysis
There is a low level of market share concentration in this market space, and since the market remains fragmented, low market share concentration is favorable for buyers as suppliers are likely to compete with each other to offer the lowest rates.
There is a moderate level of vendor risk present in this market due to competition within the market and competition from substitutes.
Supply chain risk is high in this market, as suppliers face risk from upstream suppliers that offer critical production inputs, such as ink, paper, and plastic. This level of supply chain risk reduces buyer power because it means that providers face a greater likelihood of upstream disruptions, which could increase their operating costs and prompt them to raise prices.
The United States is a net importer of labels, meaning it imports more than it exports. This providers roll-fed label printing service providers with access to competitively priced goods, lowering costs.

Procurement Management KPIs for the Roll-Fed Label Printing Market
Managing vendor performance throughout the contract period is easier when tracking specific key performance indicators (KPIs). For example, buyers should monitor Defect Density and On-Time Delivery (OTD). Buyers may experience better performance throughout their contracts if they establish service level agreements (SLAs) based on Price and other factors.
| KPI | Level of Importance (1-5) | Measurements | Key Considerations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Defect Density |
|
Number of returned orders Number of defective units |
Defect density represents the share of defective products a company produces, which will let buyers know if there is an issue with the buyer's machinery or delivery method. Defect density can be used to determine if certain types of manufacturing, assembly, or quality assurance (QA) processes need to be revised and/or improved in some way. |
| On-Time Delivery (OTD) |
|
Number of late deliveries Rate of on-time deliveries |
On-time deliveries should be tracked as buyers are paying for delivery services, where it is an additional charge or included in the pricing of service. Late deliveries will cause issues for buyers, especially if they are working with other parties to use their products. |
