Liansheng Pulp & Paper raises kraft linerboard and corrugated prices

Chinese paperboard producer Liansheng Pulp & Paper is raising prices across its kraft linerboard and corrugating medium grades by CNY 50/tonne (USD 7/tonne) in a staggered rollout from 15 to 18 October 2026. The company cites higher raw material and chemical additive costs as the reason. Market commentary tied to the announcement expects the move to support a firmer domestic containerboard spot market.

Why this mattersA price rise from a leading domestic mill signals tightening Chinese containerboard supply-cost conditions that can ripple into regional export pricing for converters.
