ERMELO, Netherlands, May 26, 2010 - Pregis Corp.'s Hexacomb(R) business unit is announcing a 6% price
increase on all grades and sizes of its product line shipped to customers in
the U.K., Germany, France, Belgium and The Netherlands. The price increase is
effective on or after June 1, 2010.

The latest price increase has become necessary due to additional upward
pricing pressure from paper, fuel and adhesives. Testliner has risen
approximately EUR 30 per ton over April, which puts the increase at more than
25% since October 2009.

"World demand for pulp, which is the primary component of our linerboard,
is continuing its two year climb. This, coupled with the other escalating raw
material prices, is forcing us to increase our prices so that we can maintain
our quality supply. Superior raw material is a critical component in helping
us deliver the high level of engineered performance required by our
customers," said Jeff Kellar, president, Hexacomb.

"As the leader in quality and performance-driven honeycomb protective
packaging, we are increasing our prices to ensure that we can maintain our
quality supply and continue to deliver performance products in what is an
increasingly tight raw material paper market. Quality raw material is a
critical component in delivering the high level of engineered performance
required by our customers," said Jeff Kellar, president, Hexacomb.

Hexacomb is made with 100% paper (all natural, renewable virgin and post
consumer recycled fibers) and engineered into a proprietary honeycomb
configuration. The product offers excellent strength, superior cushioning and
blocking/bracing functions for a wide range of protective packaging and other
applications. Hexacomb(R) products include sheets, runners, edge and corner
protectors.
