BENNINGTON, NH. - December 9, 2008 - Monadnock Paper Mills, Inc., announces the launch of its new Graphic Arts website, which is designed to be a resource to the graphic design, printing and packaging communities. The new website is replete with educational resources in design, printing and finishing, and features information about all Monadnock products, including environmentally responsible papers for the printing and packaging markets.

"We know that brand owners, designers and printers are constantly looking for information that can help them make their work more inspirational, sustainable and efficient," said Jim Clemente, Vice President of Sales and Marketing.

The new mpm.com features expanded resources and a clean new look, and is fully database-driven. Resources for Graphic Arts and Packaging include an environmental design section that has searchable information on sustainable design topics, including paper, ink, finishing, energy and emissions. This section also includes an interactive environmental calculator to show the environmental benefits of each Monadnock product based on the percentage of post-consumer recycled fiber contained in that product. There is also a section on the meaning and use of eco-logos in print.

"The new website is in keeping with the tools Monadnock is committed to supplying to the printing, design and converting communities," Clemente said. "Whether it's through our Masters of Design interview series; our Field Guide to Eco-Friendly, Efficient and Effective Print; or the new mpm.com, our goal at Monadnock is to help our customers do better work visually, functionally and environmentally." In addition to the new site for graphic designers, Monadnock has also created new sites for its Technical/Specialty Papers and Non-Woven Media.
