National Envelope to provide SFI Boxes

National Envelope takes another step forward in their efforts to use sustainable materials and to lessen their impact on the environment. As the largest privately owned envelope manufacturer National Envelope has repeatedly taken a leadership position on environmental matters.
Using their flagship proprietary envelope brand Williamhouse and its famous envelope box, National is now supplying Williamhouse envelopes in a Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) envelope box. As a proud distributor of Williamhouse envelopes The Paper Mill Store will begin shipping our envelopes within these new boxes in the coming weeks rotating our inventory on a rolling basis which means our faster moving items will be the first to utilize this newly designed envelopes box. While the design elements remain larger unchanged the Gold Tones of the box lid and the Williamhouse Envelopes logo use a gold toned color to distinguish the SFI box.

Paper & Envelopes Videos

We've posted the first in a series of educational videos for graphics professionals, students and everyone interested in seeing how things happen. The videos provide an inside view of how paper is made, how envelopes are made and other secondary processes related to graphic design and the paper industry. We visited Neenah Paper's newly acquired Appleton Paper mill, formally owned by Fox River Paper company. We also visited the National Envelope envelope manufacturing plant in Appleton, Wisconsin.

It's amazing how prolific the paper industry is in this part of the country. Even though the landscape is almost perfectly flat the area is known as the Paper Valley. We located our business in Neenah, WI (the Paper Valley) because of the large number of paper related companies, businesses and professionals concentrated in the relatively small geographic area.
