This launch aims to reflect growing trade of imported boxboard grades in Brazil in recent years.
With this move, Fastmarkets plans to discontinue its bimonthly FP-CBB-0005 Brazil Solid kraft board 210-370 g/m² price assessment, due to the low number of transactions in this market and reduced number of suppliers for this grade.

Quality: sheets, triplex boxboard, white or cream back

This price will be a part of the Fastmarkets Boxboard/Cartonboard package.
