The Spring Festival is approaching, and there is news of price increases: Chenming Paper's white card and copper board cardboard products will increase by 300 yuan / ton on the basis of the current execution price from January 16, 2017. In addition, APP (China) industrial paper for white card, copper card, food card series products, from January 25, 2017, on the basis of the current price, a unified increase of 300 yuan / ton. For its white card, copper card and playing card series products, Wanguo Paper will increase the price by 300 yuan per ton on the basis of the original price since January 19, 2017, and increase the price of food cardboard by 200 yuan per ton on the basis of the original price. .

Looking back on last year's white cardboard market, the downturn since 2012 has been swept away, and the market has risen steadily. From March to May 2016, industry leaders such as Bohui Paper, Chenming Paper, and APP all raised their prices together. The monthly price of white cardboard rose by RMB 100 to RMB 150 per ton, successfully achieving three consecutive increases. From August 26 last year, the price of white cardboard and coated cardboard has been increased by 300 yuan/ton. With the crazy paper industry in the fourth quarter, the increase in white cardboard was fully accepted by the downstream industry.

By the beginning of 2017, a number of white cardboard suppliers simultaneously announced a price increase of 300-400 yuan/ton from January 1, with the intention of stabilizing the price increase expectation of white cardboard. The price increase of white cardboard is naturally inseparable from the base paper market. It is currently on the eve of the Spring Festival, and some base paper production and processing enterprises have already placed orders after the Spring Festival. According to the editor's further understanding, the current volume of imported base paper is about 10,000 tons, all of which are purchased by customers who transfer factories. Coupled with the imported inflation caused by the depreciation of the exchange rate and the concentration of production capacity caused by environmental remediation, it may be difficult to change the high operating state of the base paper price in the short term.
