A few days ago, the Shanghai Baoxie Paper Container Packaging Committee held an industry price coordination working group meeting to analyze the price situation of paper market and carton market in recent months. As the prices of pulp, waste paper and imported paper in the international market continued to rise, the main papermaking materials of domestic paper-making enterprises depended on imported pulp and waste paper. As the international market increased significantly, the production costs of domestic paper mills increased. Domestic boxboard, white board, corrugated paper, etc. have risen several times in recent months. After analysis, the imported cattle card board paper and corrugated medium paper have risen by about 12%. Domestic boxboard paper and white board paper have risen by 10%. About %, corrugated paper rose by about 8%. In the past two years, the price of carton boxes has been declining. Some carton users do not understand the paper market. At present, they have also requested to reduce the price of carton boxes so that carton companies cannot afford them.
The industry association's price coordination task force has studied and discussed carefully that it is imperative to properly adjust the prices of cartons, cartons and other paper products. On the basis of the original price increase rate of 8% adjustment, consider the user's ability to bear and share the raw material rising factors. Carton enterprises are required to strengthen management, adopt internal measures such as tapping potentials, reducing losses, improving quality, implementing strict economy, and reducing production costs. The price of the carton box consists of the cost of using the base paper to enter the factory + the loss of 10% in the production process + the sales price of the carton after the industry price. The price of cardboard is composed of the cost of using the base paper to enter the factory + the loss of 7% in the production process + the price of the cardboard box after the industry price. This price adjustment discloses to the user various raw paper price lists for user supervision.
The industry association has carefully studied and issued the coordinated price plan for corrugated cartons in Shanghai. The paper is submitted to the Standing Committee of the Paper Container Packaging Committee for consideration and approval by the enterprises and users, and filed with the Commodity Price Management Department of the Shanghai Municipal People's Government Development Planning Committee. The formal implementation was implemented on April 10, 2003.
