Printing-Writing Paper Shipments Declined Again

According to the American Forest & Paper Association’s August 2011 “Printing-Writing Paper Report,” total printing-writing paper shipments decreased 6.4 percent this August compared to August 2010. All four major printing-writing grades posted decreases.

Similar results appear in a new IPG paper buying survey, to be published in our October issue, which reveals that 33 percent of in-plants are now buying less paper than they did two years ago.
