PaperWorks Industries Inc., Philadelphia, Pa., this week announced that as a result of ongoing higher recovered paper, energy, chemical, freight, and other costs, it will increase prices on all grades of coated and uncoated recycled paperboard by $40 per ton. This will affect all North American customers with shipments as of August 22, and impact the entire MasterWorks product line.

The company also anticipates increasing all lightweight and specialty grade up-charges, which will impact the MasterWorks Blister, Freeze, Lite, and Bev product lines. PaperWorks also noted that its customers can expect a review of upcoming changes with their account managers in the coming weeks.
