Greif, Inc. (NYSE: GEF, GEF.B), a global leader in performance packaging products and services, announced today it is implementing a price increase of $60 per short ton for all grades of uncoated recycled paperboard (URB) products and a minimum 6.5 percent increase on all tube and core and protective packaging products.

The URB increase is effective with new orders and shipments on and after July 6, 2026. The tube and core and protective packaging product increase is effective with shipments on and after July 13, 2026.

The URB price increase is in response to increasing input and transportation costs along with strengthening demand for all URB products. The tube and core and protective packaging products price increase is a consequence of the URB and adhesive price increases, the primary raw materials contained in those products, increasing transportation costs, and strengthening demand across end markets Greif serves.
