Nine Dragons Paper raises prices at six China production bases

Nine Dragons Paper has issued price increase notices for corrugated paper and kraft linerboard at six of its production bases in China, effective between 6 and 10 October 2026. Each base is raising prices by USD 7/tonne (CNY 50/tonne). The notices are the first wave of increases covering the period after China's National Day holiday and were issued ahead of it.

Why this mattersA coordinated increase across six bases signals producer intent to defend margins as China's containerboard market enters a seasonal demand period.

  • Nine Dragons Paper is raising prices by USD 7/tonne (CNY 50/tonne) at its Dongguan, Taicang, Tianjin, Hebei, Shenyang and Leshan bases
  • The Dongguan increase covers corrugated paper above 100 grams and takes effect on 8 October 2026
  • The Taicang, Tianjin and Hebei increases cover kraft linerboard grades and take effect on 6 October 2026
  • The Shenyang and Leshan increases cover kraft linerboard and corrugated grades and take effect on 10 October 2026

Updates

  • 2026-09-27 · Edited before publication: Two problems. The notices are the first wave of increases for the period after China's National Day holiday, issued ahead of it, not the first 'since' the holiday. And the currency order was reversed against house style. USD 7/tonne from CNY 50 at 6.713 is correct.
  • 2026-09-27 · Edited before publication: The source lists 地龙优质V生卡 and 优质牛卡 grades; "testliner" is not supported and is removed. Topic corrected: these are the company's own selling prices, so Markets & Customers applies and "Raw materials & energy" does not (and is not on the fixed list). Dates, bases and the CNY 50/tonne to USD 7/tonne conversion are correct.
