The company is headquartered near Atlanta, Georgia, and operates multiple manufacturing facilities in Wisconsin, the Northeast and abroad. Neenah Paper is a Mativ Holdings company, and its brands are available on six continents. The CLASSIC family traces its roots to CLASSIC Laid, introduced in 1962, which became the most widely recognized premium uncoated paper in North America and the foundation for the broader CLASSIC family of premium papers. CLASSIC CREST extends that heritage with a smoother, more contemporary sheet aimed at designers, printers and end-use customers who need reliable, high-end print results.

CLASSIC CREST® Papers belong to the CLASSIC® family of premium papers from Neenah Paper, a U.S. paper manufacturer founded in 1873 in Neenah, Wisconsin. Neenah Paper has built a tradition of innovation and service since its founding, and its Neenah Mill is described as the oldest continuously operating mill within Neenah, Inc., the parent company. The company introduced its first mill brand watermark, OLD COUNCIL TREE Bond, in 1908; within a few years, using paper with a mill brand watermark became a symbol of authenticity and distinction for business and personal correspondence. A key milestone for the CLASSIC family came in 1962 with the introduction of CLASSIC Laid. That brand became the most widely recognized premium uncoated paper in North America and served as the foundation for the CLASSIC Family of Premium Papers. CLASSIC CREST grew out of this heritage as a smoother, more contemporary premium uncoated sheet within the CLASSIC portfolio, which also includes CLASSIC Laid, CLASSIC Linen, CLASSIC Columns, CLASSIC Canvas, CLASSIC Stipple, CLASSIC Techweave and other CLASSIC sub-brands. Over the decades, Neenah Paper expanded its premium paper business and built a signature brand portfolio that includes CLASSIC, ENVIRONMENT and ROYAL SUNDANCE Papers, among others. The company describes itself as a world-class manufacturer of premium writing, text, cover, specialty and private watermark papers, headquartered near Atlanta, Georgia, with multiple manufacturing facilities in Wisconsin, the Northeast and abroad. Its brands are available on six continents. CLASSIC CREST evolved to meet changing print technologies. The line now includes digital-ready papers using Neenah's Universal Digital Finish, compatible with HP Indigo, production inkjet, dry toner and digital embellishment. It is offered in a wide range of basis weights, from 24 lb. Writing to 165 lb. Double Thick Cover, in Smooth and Eggshell finishes, and in a broad color palette including whites, neutrals, deep blacks and accent colors. Neenah Paper is today a Mativ Holdings company, and CLASSIC CREST remains one of its recognized premium paper brands for designers, printers and end-use customers.
