FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

                CHESAPEAKE IDENTIFIES INDEPENDENT NOMINEES

                    FOR SHOREWOOD CONSENT SOLICITATION

(Richmond, VA-- January 28, 2000) Chesapeake Corporation (NYSE: CSK) announced
it has filed amended preliminary materials with the Securities and Exchange
Commission relating to its planned solicitation of consents from the
stockholders of Shorewood Packaging Corporation (NYSE: SWD). The consent
solicitation would request Shorewood stockholders to, among other things,
remove from Shorewood's bylaws the provision establishing a staggered board of
directors, remove the current members of the board of directors, reduce the
size of the board to three members and fill the newly created vacancies on the
board with independent nominees. The independent nominees are Charles M.
Elson, Claude B. Owen, Jr. and John E. Stokely. Chesapeake expects that the
independent nominees, if elected and subject to their fiduciary duties and
applicable law, will seek to maximize value for the Shorewood stockholders.

The consent solicitation is intended to expedite the prompt consummation of
Chesapeake's proposed acquisition of Shorewood through its pending $17.25 per
share cash tender offer, subject to each nominee's fiduciary responsibility.
Each nominee has expressly agreed that, as a director of Shorewood and as a
nominee for election to Shorewood's board of directors, the nominee will
exercise his independent judgment, act in accordance with his fiduciary duties
as a director of Shorewood and will not be required to reflect the views of
Chesapeake. In addition, each nominee has agreed that, following his election
to Shorewood's board of directors, he will have no obligation of any kind to
Chesapeake, except in its capacity as a stockholder of Shorewood, and only to
the extent of duties owed to all Shorewood stockholders generally.

Charles M. Elson has been a law professor at Stetson University since 1990 and
of counsel to the law firm of Holland & Knight LLP since 1995. He is also a
Trustee of Talledega College and a Salvatori Fellow of the Heritage
Foundation. He is a member of the National Association of Corporate Directors'
Commissions on Director Compensation, Director Professionalism, CEO Succession
and Audit Committees. Mr. Elson is also a director of Sunbeam Corp., a
consumer products company, and Nuevo Energy Co., an oil and gas development
company.

Claude B. Owen, Jr. retired in May 1999, after serving four years as Chairman
of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of DIMON Incorporated (successor to
Dibrell Brothers Incorporated), the world's second largest tobacco merchant.
From 1993 until 1995, Mr. Owen was Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive
Officer and President of Dibrell Brothers. Mr. Owen is also a director of
American National Bankshares Inc., a bank holding company.
