CAROL STREAM, Ill.Altivity Packaging announced today that it will increase the price for coated and uncoated recycled board by $50 per ton effective with shipments March 20, 2007.

Chairman and Interim CEO George Bayly said, “Despite the recent rise in coated and uncoated recycled paperboard pricing and our continuous efforts to contain costs, the unfavorable dynamics of the recovered fiber markets are staggering. Faced with the suddenness and severity of these increases, we have no other option than to pass these costs through to the marketplace.”
