Mayr-Melnhof raises carton board prices by EUR 75 per tonne

Mayr-Melnhof's MM Board & Paper division will raise prices across its entire carton board range by EUR 75 per tonne from October 2026. The increase covers GD grades, liner and fresh-fibre board, and the company cites energy, logistics and chemicals costs that remain well above historical levels. Implementation details are to be discussed with customers in the coming weeks.

  • 2026-09-29 · Edited before publication: The source lists GD, liner and fresh-fibre board; 'GC liner' does not appear and is not a grade the source names. Corrected, and the cost wording aligned with the source (costs well above historical levels, volatile since March 2026).
