Caraustar Industries, the US-based recycled packaging company, announced that it will raise prices for its entire tube and core product line by up to 8 per cent. The increase will apply to all shipments from 24 June 2002.
This increase will help the company recover from price hikes in recycled paperboard fibre, energy, freight, benefits, insurance and other operating costs that have occurred over the last few years.
Caraustar is one of the largest manufacturers and converters of recycled paperboard and recycled packaging products in the United States. The company has developed its position in the industry through diversification and integration from raw materials to finished products. One of its primary markets is the food and beverage industry.
The company serves the four principal recycled paperboard product markets: tubes, cores and cans; folding carton and custom packaging; gypsum wallboard facing paper; and miscellaneous "other specialty" and converted products.
