Regrettably, due to general rising costs, our prices are going up in the new year - the 1st of February, to be precise. We have absorbed the increasing costs for some time now, and haven't had a general price rise for around six years now. We've always wanted to keep the price of an individual metal foot figure to ?1.00 GBP or below, but we are forced to increase the price of a metal code an additional ?0.50 GBP per box.
There is a general assumption that the costs of plastic manufacturing have gone down. They haven't. We could reduce the price by going abroad (not that we would!), getting the molds made in aluminum, but aluminum moulds lose their edge/detail much quicker than steel. Renedra (the tooling company we use) for one and GW for another use steel molds, which will keep their sharpness long after we're dead and gone! The plastic we use isn't the cheapest, but is the best in terms of toughness whilst still retaining the detail.
We are increasing the price of the plastic box sets to ?18.00 GBP throughout the range, except the American Farmhouse which will be ?15.00 GBP. We hope this will still represent value for money for the quality we strive for, which Renedra always deliver.
