February 17, 2009

Dear Valued Customer:

For the last several months United States Container Corporation has received various increases from our tin suppliers resulting in higher costs on all of our tin products ranging from 20-50%.  As you are aware, we have not passed on any of these increases to our customers.  Our senior management has been proactively negotiating with our suppliers in this very challenging environment.

However, effective March 17, 2009, we will no longer be able to hold off the increase of our tin products.  

Because the increase will vary per product class, please contact your local sales representative for your new pricing structure and any additional information you may need on this increase.

If you would like others within your organization to receive our pricing updates, please reply to this email with their contact information and we will include them in our database of valued customers.

Thank you for your business and continued support. 

Jason Small
COO
United States Container Corp.
