Editorial Calendar*

Paper360°‘s editorial team, supported by TAPPI’s community of members, volunteers and experts, has more combined pulp and paper experience than any other magazine in the industry.

Our editorial philosophy is focused on helping pulp and paper professionals do their jobs more effectively, efficiently and profitably by providing a balance of business-and technical-related content.

In addition to print, each issue of Paper360º is available in a fully interactive digital edition — generating “double distribution” for your advertising dollar. Each issue will be posted and archived on TAPPI.org creating longevity for your online presence.
