Neenah, a market leader in the creation and manufacturing of papers for premium writing, text, cover, digital, packaging and label applications, has announced its recent investment to reinvigorate the cotton fiber paper category with its new NEENAH Cotton Papers, a 100% cotton paper.

“NEENAH Cotton Papers truly represent everything Neenah brings to the art and science of papermaking: impeccable quality and superior craftsmanship,” said Ellen Bliske, senior marketing manager, Neenah.

Created especially for letterpress design, modern correspondence and events with gravitas, NEENAH Cotton Papers provide the feel of fabric, a handmade aesthetic, and the natural strength to sustain letterpress, engraving and foil stamping, as well as offset and digital printing.

Available in four shades of white and three subtle colors, it’s the perfect palette for modern design applications as well as personal and business correspondence. The three on-trend colors: Mint, the ‘it’ color for the 2020s, Blush, a fresh take on millennial pink, and an elegant and timeless Gray.

NEENAH Cotton Papers are offered in a Smooth, Wove and Letterpress finish. “The luxuriously soft Letterpress finish is unsized and uncalendered, resulting in an extra toothy, handmade feel that is rare and special,” says Bliske.

A Letterpress Digital finish is offered in 90 and 110 Cover; engineered to perform on the latest digital printing presses.

With a full range of available weights, NEENAH Cotton Papers are perfect for all types of applications including party invitations, business cards, personal stationery, business correspondence, letterhead and holiday cards.

Crafted by skilled machine tenders in Wisconsin from the finest cotton fibers, NEENAH Cotton Papers are naturally sustainable, made from cotton linters – a by-product of the cotton industry that is recognized by the EPA as recovered fiber. “As a leading maker of cotton fiber papers for well over a century, the introduction of NEENAH Cotton Papers represents our love for paper and our enduring legacy brought to life,” says Bliske.

The impact, resilience, and growth of responsible packaging in a wide region are daily chronicled by Packaging South Asia.

A multi-channel B2B publication and digital platform such as Packaging South Asia is always aware of the prospect of new beginnings and renewal. Its 16-year-old print monthly, based in New Delhi, India has demonstrated its commitment to progress and growth. The Indian and Asian packaging industries have shown resilience in the face of ongoing challenges over the past three years.

As we present our publishing plan for 2023, India’s real GDP growth for the financial year ending 31 March 2023 will reach 6.3%. Packaging industry growth has exceeded GDP growth even when allowing for inflation in the past three years.

The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India increased by 33% over the past three years. With orders in place, we expect another 33% capacity addition from 2023 to 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels have grown similarly. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.

Even given the disruptions of supply chains, raw material prices, and the challenge of responsible and sustainable packaging, packaging in all its creative forms and purposes has significant headroom to grow in India and Asia. Our context and coverage engulf the entire packaging supply chain – from concept to shelf and further – to waste collection and recycling. We target brand owners, product managers, raw material suppliers, packaging designers and converters, and recyclers.
