Nine Dragons Paper raises containerboard prices at Quanzhou and Chongqing bases

Nine Dragons Paper is raising corrugated medium and kraftliner prices by USD 8/t (CNY 50/t) at its Quanzhou and Chongqing bases in China between 3 and 9 November 2026, citing higher costs for recovered paper, coal and chemical auxiliaries. Quanzhou raises corrugated medium from 3 November and recycled kraftliner from 5 November, both for 100 gsm and above. Chongqing follows with corrugated medium from 7 November and Jianglong kraftliner from 9 November.

Why this mattersNine Dragons is passing recovered-paper and coal cost inflation into Chinese containerboard, a test of whether box converters will accept higher board prices.

Updates

  • 2026-11-03 · Combined from 2 drafts about the same company
  • 2026-11-03 · Edited before publication: The story mixed RMB and CNY and gave two different conversions (USD 7.5/t and about USD 7/t). At the supplied rate, CNY 50/t is USD 7.52/t; rounded to the precision of the source amount, that is USD 8/t, written USD first. The headline now names the two bases rather than 'multiple'. Rating of 2 matches the substrate-price rule.
