Appleton Coated, Combined Locks, Wis., USA, has entered into an agreement with New Leaf Paper, Oakland, Cali., USA, to market and sell Reincarnation®, a coated paper line made from 100% post-consumer recovered fiber (PCRF).
 
Darin Dodd, Appleton Coated’s VP, commercial sales, explained, "Appleton Coated has been manufacturing Reincarnation for our customer New Leaf Paper (NLP) for over three years. Our two companies felt that the combined strength of our sales teams and merchant relationships made for a natural fit." Dodd continued, "Reincarnation is the industry-leading sustainable coated paper. The fact that we can sell it in addition to making it really adds value and choice to our offering of sustainable papers."
 
New Leaf Paper CEO Joe Fanelli commented, "We are very pleased. We have a great relationship with Appleton Coated that now extends into a sales partnership on our Reincarnation brand – this will benefit all brand-owners, printers, and creatives looking for the most sustainable choice in coated papers."
