July
2006
The KCDA Hot Sheet has been developed to alert members to new contracts, market or price changes, and contracts that are nearing renewal.
In this issue you will find:
Paper prices continue to rise; raw material, production costs, fuel, transportation costs and mill closures contributing to each price announcement. Several mills shut down for maintenance for 1-2 weeks over the July holiday, further reducing inventories. Rumors abound regarding additional price increase announcements for August AND September. Allocations remain in effect for most mills.
