Monadnock: Reinventing Paper for a More Sustainable Future

At 207 years old, Monadnock Paper Mills is North America's oldest continuously operating paper mill. Julie Brannen says longevity comes from continually reinventing the business to meet changing customer needs.

Today, that means helping brands, designers, and print service providers replace plastic with high-performance, fiber-based solutions across applications ranging from commercial print and signage to packaging and gift cards.

Rather than simply selling paper, Julie says Monadnock focuses on solving problems. The company offers a broad portfolio of coated, uncoated, virgin-fiber, and 100% post-consumer recycled papers, giving customers the flexibility to balance sustainability, performance, and design. That solutions-first approach makes Monadnock a frequent partner for projects that push paper beyond traditional expectations, particularly in prototyping, packaging, and other innovative applications.

For Julie, that spirit of innovation is one reason Monadnock continues to invest in the Dscoop community. She sees HP Indigo users as some of the industry's most creative thinkers, constantly exploring new applications and challenging suppliers to rethink what's possible. By bringing sustainable materials together with bold ideas, Julie believes the print industry continues to prove that great innovation often starts with asking paper to do something unexpected.
