Up to the Challenge
Consolidation has proved challenging, but paperboard converters are still finding success as long as they find their niches.
That said, the Paperboard Packaging Council recently released the results on folding carton shipments for the first half of 2007. Shipments are down from the first half of 2006, but only slightly. Year-to-date shipments have slowly, but steadily, improved over a soft fourth quarter in 2006. Inventories rose in June by 18.2 percent compared to May levels, which indicates that the third quarter will follow the traditional pattern of being the year’s best quarter for volume.
