Corporation (NYSE: VRS), a leading producer of label face stock and
release liner papers, today announced that its Quinnesec, Michigan, paper mill has broadened
its manufacturing expertise to produce OptiLabel™ face stock
papers.
"Verso remains committed to product innovation and development
for unique specialty label applications, which creates value for
our customers," said Verso Vice President of Product Innovation
Mike Farrington. "Our OptiLabel™
face stock is an established brand in the pressure-sensitive label
market, and now that it is made on world-class assets at two of our
integrated pulp and paper mills in Escanaba and Quinnesec, Michigan, we are even better
positioned to service our customers."
Verso's specialty product line includes highly engineered
release liner base paper and strong, smooth label face stock for
pressure-sensitive, glue-applied and litho-lamination applications.
The OptiLabel™ family includes products from 48 lb. to 58 lb.
(3300ft2) basis weights, which are all optimized for laminating,
label printing, die cutting, and high-speed label applications. The
premium brightness, blue-white shade, semi-gloss finish and high

hand-in-hand. Year after year, our pressure-sensitive face stock,
C1S glue-applied face stock and release liner base sheets are used
