Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - The double - offset paper market is basically stable today. The supply is expected to increase due to the resumption of some idle production lines, but the downstream demand is limited, and the consumption of base paper is slow. The industry's production may decline, the demand is mainly for rigid needs, and the cost support is limited [5][8]. 3. Summary by Directory First Part: Data Analysis - **Double - offset Paper Prices**: The prices of double - offset paper 70g in different regions such as Hebei, Beijing, Guangdong, Shandong, and Shanghai remain unchanged both daily and weekly.

Some idle production lines in Shandong are planned to resume production, increasing the supply expectation. However, the downstream orders are limited, and the consumption of base paper is slow. The purchase price of wood chips has little change, and the supply of wood chips is affected by weather conditions [5]. - **Logic Analysis**: The production of the double - offset paper industry may decline as some停产 enterprises have not resumed production and there may be maintenance of some production lines. The demand is mainly for rigid needs as dealers are cautious in inventory preparation and downstream printing factories have average orders. The cost support is limited as the prices of coniferous and broad - leaf pulp are stable [8]. Third Part: Relevant Attachments - There are four figures, including double - offset paper production, in - plant inventory, social inventory, and production profit, showing the data from 2021 to 2025 [10][11].
