This announcement comes on the heels of a $60 hike for URB that Caraustar put into effect with shipments on Feb. 10.
In a press release, the company said, “The increase is in response to the additional increased raw materials and other costs in 2017 to date, including the various grades of recycled fiber used in producing uncoated recycled paperboard.”
