The company will implement an across-the-board increase for all its coated and uncoated products of between 3% and 8% from 8 April.
"The squeeze between ever-increasing operating costs and prices has made the rise unavoidable if we are to maintain competitive trading patterns," said managing director Martin Fothergill.
He said the rise was necessary if the company was to maintain its stocking levels and logistical offerings.
Other merchanting groups have also confirmed across-the-board increases, including Howard Smith Paper, with a rise of 4%-6%, and Elliott Baxter, with an average of 5%.
A statement from Elliott Baxter said that while it had reduced its own cost base during a harsh trading environment, paper prices had fallen to unsustainable levels.
Premier Paper has also confirmed a rise of 8% from 8 April, while Antalis has announced rises of 4%-8% and may levy a 10 charge for orders under 50.
The recent announcements follow across-the-board increases of 6% from Papyrus, increases of between 2% and 6% from Robert Horne, and rises of up to 8% for office papers from manufacturers Stora Enso and International Paper (PrintWeek, 8 March).
