History and profile edit

Commonly known as the Yellow Sheet,[1] the magazine was launched in 1925.[2] It was used as a standard for both transacted containerboard pricing (linerboard and medium) and multiple grades of recovered paper stock pricing.[3][4] It was also used to track linerboard prices as an economic indicator.[5] The magazine was part of Magazines for Industry Inc.[6][7] In 2009 Mark Arzoumanian was the editor-in-chief of the magazine.[8] The headquarters was in Chicago.[7][8]

The magazine was acquired by RISI in May 2012.[9][10] In October 2012 Official Board Markets was merged with its sister magazine PPI Pulp & Paper Week.[10][11] The last issue of Official Board Markets was dated 30 September 2012.[2]
