Chicago Paper Show on Tuesday, November 1,

The Veritiv Chicago Paper Show attracts approximately 800
prominent designers, corporate end-users and commercial printers
from the Greater Chicago area –
one of the most exciting graphic arts markets in the country. The
theme of this year's show is "MAKER – a person that makes or
produces something."
"MAKER refers to people – including designers, printers, and
paper makers – who creatively make or produce an idea, design or an
object with passion. Each exhibit and exhibitor at this
year's Chicago Paper show will support this theme," said
Andrew Dembitz, Director of
Specification, for Veritiv–Chicago.
Several leading paper suppliers will have showcase exhibits at
the event. Mohawk's exhibit entitled, "Celebrating the Culture of
the Craft," will include The Mohawk Maker Quarterly Issue
10, as well as a special pop-up exhibition of past issues of this
celebrated publication. In addition, Sappi will exhibit
"Ideas that Matter," demonstrating how designers use paper to make
things happen. The exhibit will exclusively feature Illinois-based designers whose designs support
charitable causes. Other exhibits include:
- Chicago 50-Print Collateral –
an annual exhibit – featuring fifty of Chicago's finest companies and
institutions.
- The 2016-2017 Newberry Library Calendar presented by Munro
Campagna artist representatives.
- The Chicago Design Museum, a new venue, which supports the
Chicago Graphic Arts Market.
- An environmental display by the Sustainable Forestry Initiative
(SFI).
- Veritiv Private Brands showcasing the company's unique coated
and uncoated grades.
The keynote presentation, "Evolution of Offset and Print," will
be delivered by Daniel Dejan,
Sappi's North American ETC Print and Creative Manager and sponsored

incorporating new technology and evolving.
