Our O-K Paper elves, better known as the Specification Team, will be out and about through the end of the year giving out our 2012 calendars. The calendar was printed on the fine papers of Monadnock. The backer is the hefty, Astrolite, Smooth, 160 Cover and the three month at-a-glance sheets are on Dulcet, Neutral White, 80 Text. As you tear off each month, you see the three months ahead. We hope you find it handy in the New Year. Supplies are limited and we will distribute to as many good designer girls and boys as we can. Happy Holidays.

We are excited to tell you about additions to the Neenah Paper family of products. Neenah announced this week that they have signed an agreement to purchase selected premium writing, text and cover brands from Wausau Paper. The purchase includes Astrobrights, the well known Royal® line and some Exact® products. The transaction should be closed on January 31, 2012. With Neenah's history of consolidating product and branding, this will be a seamless and successful transition. Olmsted-Kirk has a long history with both Neenah and Wausau. We will continue to support all of your orders on Wausua products. It's business as usual. The service and support you are used to with Wausau will continue and only grow stronger with Neenah. More details on specifics as we find out more about this exciting transaction in the paper marketplace.
