         Item 1 of the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the Six
Months Ended June 30, 1999, is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:


ITEM 1.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         The financial statements, enclosed as Exhibit 19, are incorporated by
reference in this Form 10-Q/A. This amended quarterly Form 10-Q/A is required to
correct errors made during the process of converting that Exhibit into
electronic format. Specifically, cost of products sold and interest expense
amounts for the comparative 1998 six month period were converted incorrectly.

The correct amount for Cost of Products Sold is $732,279 for the six-month
period ending June 30, 1998. In the original filing a digit was dropped, so the
amount appeared as $32,279.

The correct amount for Interest Expense is $10,867 for the six-month period
ending June 30, 1998. In the original filing a transposition error occured, so
that the amount appeared as $10,687.

All totals, including Net Income, were correctly reported.

In addition to the above, the Company's June 30, 1999, Form 10-Q is also amended
to correct an error in the date of the signatures appearing on page 9, which
were presented as August 9, 1998. The correct date is August 9, 1999.

Actual reports furnished to security holders were correct in all respects and
did not contain the errors listed above.

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,
1999.



ITEM 6.  EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K

         (a)  The following documents are filed as part of this amended report:

              19   Reports Furnished to Security Holders.

         EXHIBIT 19 - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FURNISHED TO SECURITY HOLDERS
                      BEMIS COMPANY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1.  INVENTORY ACCOUNTING CHANGE

         Inventories are valued at the lower of cost, using the first-in,
first-out (FIFO) method, or market. During the second quarter of 1999, the
Company changed its method of determining the cost of inventories from the
last-in, first-out (LIFO) method to the FIFO valuation method. Management
believes the change from LIFO to FIFO inventory valuation method benefits the
Company by providing the best matching of the applicable raw material cost of a
unit of product to the product's selling price and, therefore, presents a
clearer picture of operating results. The accounting change has been applied to
prior years by retroactively restating the financial statements, which are
available by reference to the Company's mid-August 1999, Form 8-K filing with
the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. All financial statements
and data included in this June 30, 1999, Form 10-Q filing, reflect the impact of
this accounting principle change.

NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and
footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position and
results of operation. It is management's opinion, however, that all material
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) have been made which are
necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. The results for the
interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
the year.

         For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements
and footnotes included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1998.

NOTE 3. TAXES BASED ON INCOME

         The Company's 1999 effective tax rate of 39% differs from the federal
statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state and local income taxes.

NOTE 4.  SEGMENTS OF BUSINESS

         The Registrant's business activities are organized around its two
principal business segments, Flexible Packaging and Pressure Sensitive
Materials. Both internal and external reporting conform to this organizational
structure with no significant differences in accounting policies applied. The
Registrant evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to
them based on operating profit which is defined as profit before general
corporate expense, interest expense, income taxes, and minority interest. A
summary of the Registrant's business activities reported by its two business
segments follows:
