Inside Champion Paper

This massive multimillion-dollar machine started operating in 1965, as Champion continued to grow. It could produce enough paperboard to make a pint milk carton for every man, woman and child in the United States. At that time, the mill's No. 20 machine could produce a mile of paper 20 feet wide every three minutes.
