South Korea's largest paper and
board producer, Hansol Paper, has tabled price increases of 5-6% for coated
fine paper and cartonboard exports, effective February 1.
The proposed rises will be
implemented on orders received from that date on the company's coated fine
paper, including one-side coated products, and also on coated recycled board
grades, such as grayback coated duplex board and whiteback coated duplex board.Hansol attributed the hike to the rising costs of raw materials, including market pulp, recovered paper, chemicals and energy.
