# Do paper and envelope prices change over time?

Yes. Paper and envelope prices can move daily because they track raw material costs. A price you saw on a previous order will not necessarily match a future one, even for the same item. Stock prices can change day to day with material costs. An old quote is not a guarantee of a current price. Always request a fresh quote for each new job. If timing matters, lock in your order once you have an up-to-date price.

Paper and envelope prices can change daily with raw material costs, so an old quote is no guarantee; request a fresh quote for each new job.
