Hartsville, South Carolina based Sonoco, a global leader in sustainable paper products, has announced it is imple- menting a $60 per ton price increase for all grades of un- coated recycled paperboard (URB) in the United States and Canada, effective with shipments beginning July 8, 2026. According to Taylor Lane, Vice President and Gener- al Manager, Industrial Paper Packaging, North America, “This necessary increase is driven by several factors, in- cluding robust demand across our markets and strong utilization in our paper mill network. Additionally, elevated inflationary pressures have significantly increased our op- erating costs. We remain committed to delivering reliable supply and high-quality products, and this increase helps ensure we can continue to support our customers’ busi- ness effectively.” Sonoco also will increase prices for all converted pa- perboard products by 7 percent, effective with shipments on and after July 8, 2026. This includes paperboard tubes, cores, cones, partitions, protective packaging, and other specialty products. Sonoco generates approximately $7.5 billion in annual revenue and operates over 265 facilities across 37 coun- tries, employing around 22,000 people globally.
