Although the names have changed, PRO-88(TM) and PRO-92(TM) office papers will maintain their current brighter shades and quality to continue to provide customers with professional-looking documents. Both papers also will keep their current item numbers for ease of ordering. The name changes come as part of Boise Papers Solutions' initiative to enhance many of its paper lines to better anticipate and respond to customers' changing business needs. In addition to a variety of product enhancements, Boise Paper Solutions' X-9000(R) paper recently was changed to X-9(TM) paper for ease of ordering. "After working closely with customers and listening to their needs, we have learned that these papers fulfill their professional demands. However, they wanted product names that more directly conveyed the papers' aesthetics and applications," said Vince Phelan, director of product development and marketing communications with Boise Paper Solutions. "We think these name changes will help customers easily identify and order the papers that best meet their professional needs."
