Kraft Paper Shipments in U.S Rise in October

Total U.S. October kraft paper shipments were 131,300 tons, 3.6% higher than the prior month, according to the recently released AF&PA (Washington, D.C., USA) October 2013 Kraft Paper Sector Report. Bleached kraft paper shipments increased year-over-year 14.3%, but the 4.2% year-over-year decline in unbleached kraft paper shipments was enough to bring overall kraft paper shipments down 1.8% year-over-year.

Total month-end inventory of kraft papers decreased 24.5% compared with September 2013.
