U.S. Kraft Paper Shipments Decline

U.S. kraft paper shipments in September totaled 126,700 tons, 6.4% lower than the prior month, according to the AF&PA (Washington, D.C., USA) September 2013 Kraft Paper Report issued this week. Bleached kraft paper shipments increased year-over-year 13.4%, but the 4.6% year-over-year decline in unbleached kraft paper shipments was enough to bring overall kraft paper shipments down 2.2% year-over-year.

Total month-end inventory in September 2013 increased 6.8% compared with August 2013.
