SMART Capabilities
SMART Papers produces more than 93,000 tons of premium coated and uncoated printing papers at our single mill site in Hamilton, Ohio. Our production facility houses four paper machines, 22 cast-coating lines and is supported by various types of paper finishing and converting equipment.

Important and unique SMART capabilities include:

We process standard and custom blends of virgin, recycled post-consumer and non-wood fibers in the production of our papers.
Our cast-coated, blade and rod coating capabilities enable production of unique coated surfaces from the highest gloss to the softest matte.
Computerized on-line color control systems enable production of uncoated papers ranging from brilliant, bright whites to deep saturated colors.
Six embossing units and more than 20 embossing patterns provide a broad choice in customized finishes and textures.
Four computer controlled rewinders and five state-of-the-art precision sheeters allow for any roll or sheet size to meet customer requirements.


SMART Commitment
We are committed to marketing our well-known brands and to developing new technology-enhanced printing papers.

We provide branded, differentiated and proven ultrasmooth premium coated, matte-coated and cast-coated papers. We offer advantages of brand, choice and reliability in premium uncoated writing, text and cover papers at an affordable price.

We deliver significant value to our customers. Our actions every day reflect a deep understanding of our customers' challenges and opportunities.

Our fulfillment and execution of this vision is the foundation on which we build long-term partnerships with our customers, employees and vendors.

As an agile and independent producer, we take pride in offering exceptional services that often aren’t available from larger mills: our flexibility of service, customization and rapid turnaround proves our commitment as a partner.
