ALPHARETTA, GA. - October 23, 2008 - CLASSIC CREST(R) Papers, the cornerstone of the Neenah Paper portfolio of premium branded papers, has been updated with new colors, sizes, and weights, along with expanded digital and environmental offerings. The new swatchbook and accompanying promotion clearly demonstrate that this Writing, Text and Cover paper is both timeless and timely, and ideally suited for today's business communications.

In keeping with Neenah Paper's commitment to provide environmentally preferable premium papers, CLASSIC CREST Papers are now completely FSC Certified (SW-COC-000885), made with 100% certified renewable energy, and made Carbon Neutral. In addition, the 100% post consumer Recycled Bright White is now whiter and brighter.

This leading Writing, Text and Cover paper has long been the preferred choice for corporate identity and marketing communications. With seven new colors added to the existing palette, CLASSIC CREST Papers are ideal for a wide variety of applications. To simplify the selection process, the neutrals are separated into two groups: warm and cool, each topped off with a dark neutral, and the new accent colors are fresh and modern.

Also, in response to significant growth in the digital printing market Neenah Paper now offers CLASSIC CREST Papers with a new Digital Finish that works on all the most common digital printing equipment. The expanded digital offering is available in three colors, four weights, and four digital sizes.

Other aspects of the update are new heavy Cover weights in 100lb. or heavier for every color and larger sheet sizes up to 28 x 40. Additionally, the availability of the Customark(R) watermark process for CLASSIC CREST Papers offers a perfect solution for customers who want the prestige and security of private watermarked papers, yet have smaller quantity needs.

With this update, the most classic of all the CLASSIC(R) Brands now offers opportunities for creative applications that might not have been considered before. That, combined with performance and versatility, makes this the "Complete-er Communicator."
