Boise Paper Wins Highest Honors In Industry Test For Third Consecutive Year

Boise Paper continues to set the standard for office paper excellence as two products received highest honors in a recent industry test conducted by Buyers Laboratory Inc. (BLI), the nation’s leading independent office products test lab and business consumer advocate. These awards are a prime example of how Boise goes above and beyond both its customers’ and partners’ expectations.

For the third year in a row, Boise X-9(TM), 20-lb 8.5“ x 11”, multipurpose paper received the Buyers Laboratory “2007 Performance Certified” seal of approval. Boise ASPEN(TM), 20-lb 8.5“ x 11”, 30% post-consumer fiber paper received its first ever “2007 Performance Certified” seal of approval.

“Boise is committed to exceeding our customers’ needs by delivering paper products that exhibit consistent performance and allow them to keep their operations running smoothly,” said Vince Phelan, Boise Marketing Director. “These awards are proof of ’The Boise Difference’ hard at work and represent the committed excellence that every Boise employee strives to provide customers on a daily basis.”

Buyers Laboratory ran 3,400,000 sheets of Boise X-9(TM) through 70 different office document imaging devices representing 20 manufacturers over the course of the past year. For Boise’s ASPEN(TM) copy paper, Buyers Laboratory ran 800,000 sheets through 47 different office document imaging devices representing 12 manufacturers. Both products displayed virtually no misfeeding, double-sheeting and no problems related to image quality, dusting or curling.
