Sonoco to hike price for paperboard tubes and cores by minimum of 8%

Sonoco will raise the price for all paperboard tubes and cores by a minimum of 8%, effective with shipments in the United States and Canada, on or after September 10, 2021.

“Significant market tightness and additional inflationary cost pressures to our primary raw materials (uncoated recycled paperboard and adhesives) make this increase necessary,” said Doug Schwartz, Division Vice President and General Manager, North America Tubes and Cores. “Despite these market and supply chain challenges, we remain committed to maintaining the quality and service that our customers have become accustomed to when working with Sonoco.”

Sonoco is the largest producer of paper-based tubes and cores in North America, which are used to serve the paper, plastic film, textile and tape and specialty industries.
