摘要

International Paper (IP) this week informed customers of an 8% price increase on corrugated boxes and 10% hike on sheets effective Sept. 1, the company told analysts Thursday. The move follows the largest North American producer's $50/ton price hike late last week on linerboard and medium effective with shipments Aug. 1. Cascades Norampac, the seventh largest North American producer and Canadian market leader, later this week informed customers of a 'minimum' 8% increase on corrugated boxes and 'minimum' 10% hike on sheets for Sept. 1, according to contacts.
