Wausau Paper Urges Colleges and Universities to Make an Educated Decision When Specifying Paper

New print promotion addresses paper’s key role in communicating reputation, tradition and character through printed communication pieces

 

WAUSAU, WISC. – February 6, 2007 – Colleges and universities produce thousands of printed communication pieces every year that will make a lasting impression on prospective students, alumni, trustees and the community. From elaborate brochures and invitations, to acceptance letters and endowment thank you notes, it is imperative that a consistent image is projected whenever possible— down to the details regarding what paper is used.

Wausau Paper® utilized its improved Astropaque® line, an opaque premium product line, to produce its new Alma Mater print promotion. With 98 brightness and 150+ whiteness, Wausau Paper’s Astropaque line, offers the ultimate in print contrast, providing a smooth, exceptionally formed, acid-free surface for four-color process, embossing, die-cutting, foil stamping and thermography for all types of communication pieces. Astropaque offers trouble-free runnability, superb printed results and is readily available, making it an appealing option for various communications and everyday use. 

In addition to striking aesthetics and excellent formation, the improved Astropaque line also boasts environmentally friendly attributes. Wausau Paper has long been committed to practices that ensure the sustainability of natural resources and is urging colleges and universities to show their dedication to the environment when specifying paper. Having received Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification, the Astropaque line makes it easy for educational institutions to demonstrate a commitment to the environment, while still effectively portraying their reputation, tradition and character through high-quality printed materials.

“College students are a sub-set of our population that is very attune to environmental issues. It only stands to reason that it would be a notable benefit for a college or university to stand in agreement by choosing to use FSC certified paper for its printed communications pieces,” states Jeff Fox, director of marketing for Wausau Paper Printing & Writing division. “FSC certification ensures the fiber used in papermaking is sourced from well-managed forestlands.”

Astropaque is available in eight Text and Cover basis weights, including 50 lb., 60 lb., 70 lb., 80 lb. and 100 lb. Text weights, as well as 65 lb. and 80 lb. and 100 lb. Cover weights.
