Print Print this article | Send to Colleague

Total U.S. kraft paper shipments were 119,000 tons, a decrease of 15% compared with the prior month, the AF&PA (Washington, D.C., USA) reported in its February 2013 Kraft Paper Sector Report this week. Bleached kraft paper shipments increased year-over-year 13% while unbleached kraft paper shipments decreased 13% year-over-year.

As a result, total kraft paper shipments are down slightly less than 1% compared with the first two months of 2012. Total month-end inventory decreased 3% to 71,300 tons this month compared with January 2013 month-end inventories.
