Exhibit 99.1

Appleton Announces Receipt of Requisite Consents to Amend Indenture For
Second Lien Notes

(Appleton, Wis., January 28, 2010) Appleton Papers Inc. ("Appleton") announced
today that it has received the requisite consents from the beneficial owners of
its 11.25% Second Lien Notes due 2015 (the "Second Lien Notes") to certain
amendments to the indenture governing the Second Lien Notes (the "Indenture").
Adoption of the amendments requires the consents of the holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Second Lien Notes.

The amendments will permit (i) the Appleton Papers Retirement Savings and
Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP") to own less than 50% of Paperweight
Development Corp. (Appleton's parent company) without triggering a requirement
on the part of Appleton to make an offer to repurchase the Second Lien Notes
pursuant to the Indenture and (ii) a capital contribution or operating lease of
the black liquor assets located at Appleton's facilities at Roaring Spring,
Pennsylvania to a newly-formed joint venture with a third party in exchange for
a minority equity interest in such joint venture.

Appleton expects to immediately enter into a supplemental indenture giving
effect to such amendments upon the satisfaction of certain customary conditions
contained in the Indenture.
