Sonoco is implementing a $60 per ton price increase for all grades of uncoated recycled paperboard (URB) in the US and Canada.
 
Sonoco previously announced a URB price increase of $40 to $60 per ton in October 2016, and the company is revising the increase for all grades to $60 per ton, effective with shipments beginning Feb. 6, 2017.
 
“This increase is necessary to capture higher recycled fiber and other costs so we can continue providing high-quality, value-adding products to our customers,” said Palace Stepps, division VP of sales and marketing for Sonoco’s US and Canada paper and adhesives.
