U.S. CUK (coated unbleached kraft) board list prices in December rose $20/ton to $935 - $995/ton, +12.9% y/y, Wilde reports. This is the third price increase of the year, he adds, noting that YTD prices are up $110/ton. Graphic Packaging announced a $40/ton increase effective December 1 and MWV announced a $50/ton increase effective in mid-December. "With domestic beverage packaging demand still good and CUK attracting substitution from high-priced SBS, it appears that producers may be able to implement the remaining $20 - 30/ton increase this month," Wilde says.
