Italian kraftliner and recycled containerboard prices rise again in October

Italian prices for kraftliner and recovered-fibre (AP) containerboard rose again in October 2026, according to a EUWID market report. Producers of both virgin-fibre and recovered-fibre grades had already implemented part of their original increase in September, and talks on costs, prices and availability continued to shape the market in October.

Why this mattersFurther containerboard price increases in Italy, following partial gains in September, raise input costs for Italian corrugated box makers and their customers.

  • Virgin-fibre and recovered-fibre producers had implemented part of their original price demand in September 2026

Updates

  • 2026-10-30 · Edited before publication: The source is a paywalled extract, so the claim that the report names no mills or increase size cannot be checked and is removed. 'September increase demand' reworded to match the source. AP means recovered-fibre grades in general, so 'testliner' in the headline is broadened. Rating stays at 2 under the substrate-price rule.
  • 2026-10-30 · Edited before publication: This is a single-substrate price move, so materiality 2 follows house style. The source covers Italy only, so the claim about 'southern Europe' in 'why this matters' is not grounded and has been narrowed to Italy.
