ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The financial statements (enclosed as Exhibit 21) are incorporated by
reference in this Form 10-Q.

     In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all
adjustments necessary to a fair statement of the results for the six months
ended June 30, 1994.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
        FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - SECOND QUARTER 1994

     Net Sales for the second quarter of 1994 were $337.7 million compared to
$303.3 million for the second quarter of 1993, an increase of 11.3% or $34.4
million. Net Income was $18.7 million for the second quarter of 1994 and $15.5
million for the same quarter in 1993, an increase of 20.6%.

     These results continue the trend of stronger operating performance that
begain in the fourth quarter last year. The improvement came primarily from
increased demand for our products in all major segments of the business. Our
results in Europe are also beginning to improve and contributed to the Company's
better performance in the quarter.

     In the first quarter of 1994, the Company completed the acquisitions of
Fitchburg Coated Products and Hargro Health Care Packaging. Excluding non-
comparable operating results of business acquisitions and dispositions from both
1994 and 1993, second quarter Sales showed an increase of $15.1 million or 5.0%
and operating profit showed an increase of $6.0 million or 20.5%.

     Net Sales and operating income improved for both the Flexible Packaging and
the Specialty Coated and Graphics Products Lines of Business because of
increased product demand and business acquisitions or dispositions made in the
first quarter of 1994 or 1993. Excluding this non-comparable operating results
from the second quarter of both 1994 and 1993 shows that Net Sales and operating
profit increased 3.9% and 13.1%, respectively, for the Flexible Packaging
segment and 8.3% and 42.7%, respectively for the Specialty Coated and Graphics
Products segment.

Addressing the Statement of Income line item changes of consequence:

     Cost of Products sold increased 11.8% on total sales increases of 11.3%.
     Improvements in manufacturing efficiencies which resulted in lower
     manufacturing cost, expressed as a percent of sales, nearly offset
     increased material cost of sales.

     Increased Research and Development expenditures occurred primarily in our
     Flexible Packaging segment.

                         PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION


     Other Income decreased $1.1 million largely due to non-recurring gains on
     business sales which occurred in the second quarter of 1993.

     Pretax Income increased $5.6 million or 22.7% while Income Tax expense
     increased $2.4 million or 26.7%. The effective tax rate for the second
     quarter of 1994 and 1993 was 38% and 37%, respectively.

     The $49.2 million increase in long-term debt together with the general
     increase in nearly  all balance sheet line items is attributable to the
     increased business activity resulting from business acquisitions and an
     increase in sales of our products in all major business segments.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1994

     Net Sales for the six-month period of 1994 was $661.0 million compared to
$595.9 million for the same period 1993, an increase of 10.9%. Net Income
increased 22.8% to $32.3 million for 1994 compared to $26.3 million for the same
six-month period in 1993.

     Excluding the operating results of the acquisition and dispositions from
both 1994 and 1993, Sales for the first six months of 1994 increased $30.2
million from the same period of 1993, while pretax income increased $11.5
million.

     Increased Research and Development expenditures have occurred in both
business segments.

     The $1.9 million decrease in Other Income is principally due to non-
recurring gains on minor business sales which occurred in 1993.

     Pretax Income increased $10.6 or 25.6% reflecting the improving domestic
and European economic climate together with ongoing internal efforts to
restructure and streamline business operations.

     In the third quarter of 1993, the Company incurred a pretax restructuring
charge of $21 million related primarily to the planned closedown of its Nylon
Resin production facility ($6.2 million), the realignment of assets in both the
domestic and international packaging machinery business ($7.2), the
consolidation of two paper packaging plants into larger facilities ($5.0
million) and selected other actions to improve operating efficiency throughout
the Company ($2.6 million). When completed, these actions were expected to
result in the elimination of 264 jobs in the U.S. and Europe and the relocation
of an additional 27 employees.

     As of June 30, 1994, we have completed all but one of the planned plant
closures and 85% of job reductions and employee relocations. The balance should
be completed prior to year end.


                                       -3-

                         PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION


     Of the $21 million total restructuring expenses, we expected $11.4 million
of non-cash cost and $9.6 million of net cash expense, all of which would be
internally generated. Through June 30, 1994, our cash costs have totalled $4.6
million and non-cash costs $.3 million. The remaining cash and non-cash expenses
are expected to be incurred in July through November of this year.

     As stated in our 1993 third quarter report, when fully implemented, these
restructuring costs should produce annual savings of approximately $8 million
pretax (10 cents per share).
