June 11, 2026 - Greif yesterday announced it is implementing a price increase of $60 per short ton for all grades of uncoated recycled paperboard (URB) products and a minimum 6.5 percent increase on all tube and core and protective packaging products.
The URB increase is effective with new orders and shipments on and after July 6, 2026. The tube and core and protective packaging product increase is effective with shipments on and after July 13, 2026.
In a press release, the company said, "The URB price increase is in response to increasing input and transportation costs along with strengthening demand for all URB products. The tube and core and protective packaging products price increase is a consequence of the URB and adhesive price increases, the primary raw materials contained in those products, increasing transportation costs, and strengthening demand across end markets Greif serves."
This is the second price increase Greif has issued this year for its URB and URB related products, with the first being implemented on April 13.
