Boise starts up p-s papermaking machine

-- Converting Magazine, 1/21/2008
Boise Paper completes the startup phase Jan. 16 of its $80-million capital investment to expand production of pressure-sensitive papers.
The project adds new capability to the existing 250-in., #3 paper machine in Wallula, WA, with state-of-the-art equipment that increases p-s paper capacity by 200,000 tons. Proprietary technology provides Boise with the ability to produce C1S face stocks and release liners while continuing to produce a range of uncoated products, the company says.
“We’re now achieving our operating and quality targets for the production of coated label and release products while continuing to meet targets on existing uncoated free sheet products," says Alexander Toeldte, executive vice president, Paper, Packaging & Newsprint.
