Sonoco Increases Paperboard Prices in EMEA Region

Sonoco S.a.r.l., a wholly owned unit of Sonoco Products Company, one of the global leaders in high-value sustainable packaging, announces it will increase prices by EUR60 (USD69.8) per tonne for uncoated recycled paperboard (URB) grades sold by the Company in the EMEA region.

The increase is in direct response to the continued inflationary pressures on the business and will take effect for all shipments made on or after 15 September 2026.

Geopolitical constraints and the continued inflationary business environment are driving cost increases across our operations and supply chain. Expected increases in energy and fuel costs are likely to further pressure our operating and transportation costs. As we are unable to absorb these additional costs, we are forced to pass them on to the market.

Karsten Kemmerling, Division Vice President, Sales & Marketing, Industrial Paper Packaging, EMEA

Sonoco S.a.r.l. is wholly owned by Sonoco and operates 19 tubes and core plants and five paperboard mills in Europe.
