Mohawk, North America's largest privately owned manufacturer of fine papers, envelopes and specialty substrates for commercial and digital printing, has hired new staff to support the company's growth in its fine paper, digital and envelope divisions.

Two Sides U.S. Inc. announced that more than 20 leading U.S. companies have removed their "anti-paper" green claims being used to promote electronic billing and other e-services as a more environmentally friendly solution than paper.

In the long, painful story of the paper industry's transformation, the news this month that NewPage Holdings had been sold to Memphis, Tennessee-based Verso Paper counts as a positive development.

On the other hand, the news Saturday that the activist hedge fund that pressured Wausau Paper into selling its mills in Mosinee and Rhinelander now wants the company out of Wisconsin underscores the difficult, sometimes wrenching transition paper makers are still undergoing here.

Last month, Senator Richard Burr (R-N.C.) introduced a bill that would combine the U.S. Commerce and Labor departments and eliminate the Small Business Administration as a stand-alone agency. Under other circumstances, a proposal to pare government by a Republican lawmaker might seem like political grandstanding, at least while a Democrat sits in the White House.

It's hard to hold the "On Such a Full Sea" 3-D cover without comparing it to the experience of holding an e-reader. The 3-D case is thick, it has pointed edges, consumers would need to display it face-out or on a coffee table because it won't fit neatly into a bookcase and, even though the book inside looks pretty much like any ordinary hardcover book, the slipcase is something different.

It's also way more expensive than most novels: the non-limited hardcover retails for $27.95 and the Kindle version is $11.99, but the 3-D slipcover goes for a whopping $150.

4over Inc., Glendale, Calif., is ringing in the new year with a new look. The 4over brand has grown to become one of the most iconic in the print industry, recognized across the nation as well as in Canada and Europe. However, the company felt it was time for a change to reflect its continued growth and evolution, while still preserving its hard-earned brand recognition.
