Correction to 2017-2018 Brazil, Mexico containerboard prices

Fastmarkets has corrected multiple price publications for Brazil and Mexico containerboard prices between March 2017 and March 2018 that were published incorrectly.

The prices affected are:

FP-CTB-0001 Brazil Kraftliner 120-150 g/m2, FOB Mill

FP-CTB-0002 Brazil White top liner 130-200 g/m2, FOB Mill

FP-CTB-0003 Brazil Fluting 120 g/m2, FOB Mill

FP-CTB-0004 Brazil Testliner 120-130 g/m2, FOB Mill

FP-CTB-0005 Mexico Recycled Medium, 120-180 g (domestic)

FP-CTB-0006 Mexico Recycled Linerboard, 130-180 g (domestic)

Brazil Kraftliner 120-150 g/m2, FOB Mill; Brazil White top liner 130-200 g/m2, FOB Mill; and Brazil Fluting 120 g/m2, FOB Mill were missing data from April 1, 2017, to March 1, 2018. This was due to a technical error that prevented the history from being transferred from one system to the other. The data has been recovered from backup historical records.

Fastmarkets has invalidated and removed publications for Mexico Recycled Medium, 120-180 g (domestic) and Mexico Recycled Linerboard, 130-180 g (domestic), which were published erroneously on March 31, 2018, due to a technical error. Fastmarkets’ Dashboard now shows the correct publications.

Fastmarkets has also invalidated and removed publications for Brazil Kraftliner 120-150 g/m2, FOB Mill; Brazil Fluting 120 g/m2, FOB Mill and Brazil Testliner 120-130 g/m2, FOB Mill on March 31, 2017. These were published erroneously due to a technical error; the Dashboard now shows the correct publications.

These prices are part of the Fastmarkets Paper Packaging price package.
