Caraustar Industries Inc., Atlanta, Ga., USA, has announced a price increase of $50 per ton on all uncoated recycled paperboard (URB) grades. The increase on the uncoated recycle board grades will be effective starting with shipments on Feb. 26, 2018.  

 

The increase is in response to strong market dynamics and inflationary cost pressures in transportation (both inbound and outbound), chemicals and other material inputs, Caraustar noted.
