      “RISI (risiinfo.com), an information provider for the global forest products industry, believes that, like 2016, 2017 was a year of marginal contraction. RISI forecast folding carton shipments           drop by 0.7 percent. Despite the slight stagnation, RISI estimates folding carton shipments will increase 0.4 percent annually over the next five years. Shipment growth is expected to be                     healthiest in the middle of the five-year forecast, with RISI anticipating an economic slowdown in 2021 that will lead to flat shipment growth.”
