UPM Blandin will now under go a "phased startup" dictated by returning demand for coated magazine papers.

Marsha Miller, a spokesperson for the mill, said in an email that a “phased startup” will be dictated by returning demand. “Blandin’s orderbook has been affected by the short-notice strike,” Miller said. “Customers have had to fulfill their requirements elsewhere to meet their paper needs. As such, we are preparing for a phased startup which will be directly related to how our orderbook develops after the strike concludes.”

WASHINGTON, DC - The U.S. Postal Service today filed notice with the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) requesting approval to make certain Mail Classification Schedule (MCS) changes to establish two Mail Growth Incentives - a First-Class Mail Growth Incentive and a Marketing Mail Growth Incentive.

These two incentives will drive mail owners to increase the volume of First-Class and Marketing mail entering the network while providing them lower overall postage costs on incremental growth — allowing mail owners to maximize total return on investment, by providing additional cost-savings and strengthening the value of mail.
