Sack kraft paper prices in Germany continued to soar in the fourth quarter of 2018.
With producers heavily overbooked, converters had no choice but to accept mark-ups of €50-70/t for deliveries as of October 2018.
And the next price hike is already in the books too: buyers have had to pay €50-70/t more since the start of January 2019.
Converters were not only facing a persistent increase in prices in 2018 but reportedly also had to battle reduced supplies and delays in deliveries.
