More Paper price Increases

Weyerhaeuser and Boise have recently confirmed a price increase for September shipments. Most uncoated paper producers will follow. This increase will affect printing and office papers as well as opaque grades. While demand has been relatively steady, 1.7million tons of North American capacity has been shut down and therefore, supply has become tight. Imports are rising, but are less than 3% of our demands.
