Boxboard producers resisting price pressure in a slow July as seasonally better demand arrives late

摘要

A slow summer, reduced backlogs and a late arrival for back-to-school related demand has meant pressure on some boxboard prices in July but without widespread erosion, according to industry contacts. Limited spot deals appeared scattered in coated recycled and also coated unbleached markets as food and beverage demand remained tepid, but average transaction prices remained unchanged from June.
