PART I

Item 1. Business

GENERAL

Chesapeake Corporation, a Virginia corporation organized in 1918, is a
paper and packaging company, whose primary businesses are kraft products,
tissue and packaging. Our operating businesses include: Chesapeake Paper
Products Company and Chesapeake Forest Products Company (kraft products,
building products and woodlands operations); Wisconsin Tissue Mills Inc.
(commercial and industrial tissue products); Chesapeake Consumer Products
Company (consumer tabletop tissue products); Chesapeake Packaging Co.
(point-of-sale displays and specialty packaging, consumer graphic packaging
and corrugated shipping containers); and Delmarva Properties, Inc. and
Stonehouse Inc. (land development).

Chesapeake competes in a large, capital-intensive industry. Until
several years ago, Chesapeake's products were primarily kraft commodity
products manufactured at Chesapeake Paper Products. In commodity markets,
selling prices are controlled by total market supply and demand. To be
successful in these markets, it is important to maximize production and
minimize operating costs. Selling prices and profits for commodity
products are usually cyclical and follow general economic conditions.

During the past several years, Chesapeake has pursued a strategy of
focusing on specialty products in markets that management believes have
growth potential or in which the Company has or may be able to achieve
competitive advantages. The Company's strategy for success with its
specialty products is to utilize its recycling expertise creatively, to
differentiate itself from its competition by producing products which are
distinctive and to utilize its superior ability to respond to customers'
requirements. Management believes this strategy allows the Company to
achieve less cyclical and greater profits than with commodity products and
to better utilize Chesapeake's strengths. During 1993, sales of specialty
products were approximately 60% of Chesapeake's total sales. During the
last three years, low selling prices for commodity products, such as
bleached market pulp and corrugating medium, have offset much of the
benefit derived from specialty product sales.

Because we understand the service needs of our customers, we believe
we are able to provide quality products quickly and efficiently. Our
decentralized management style allows quick decision making. Our
operations are designed to be flexible to changing customer demands and
business conditions.
1









Our manufacturing and converting processes are capital intensive;
property, plant and equipment, including timber and timberlands, comprise
approximately 70% of our total assets. Our tissue and kraft operations
require major investments in paper machines, fiber preparation equipment
and converting equipment. In 1992, the Company completed an eight-year
$600 million capital spending program for machinery, equipment and new
technology to increase production of specialty products while reducing the
company's emphasis on pure commodity products such as brown paperboard and
bleached hardwood pulp. About one-half of these expenditures have been for
paper machine projects for our kraft and tissue businesses. This program
also included a $100 million project for a recovery boiler, evaporators and
related equipment for our kraft business. At our other businesses, we have
continued to invest in specialized converting and processing equipment
needed to meet our strategic goals and customer requirements. During the
past nine years, acquisitions have amounted to approximately $200 million.
The major acquisition was Wisconsin Tissue, which provided the Company with
a significant, immediate presence in the industrial and commercial tissue
market. Other acquisitions, primarily in packaging, have benefited the
Company with immediate expertise or marketing strength for our future needs
and requirements.

Our businesses are grouped into three major segments: kraft products,
tissue and packaging. The information presented in "Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements, Note 14 - Business Segment Information" of the 1993
Annual Report to Stockholders (the "1993 Annual Report") is incorporated
herein by reference. Industry segment groupings were changed in 1993 to
better reflect the way Chesapeake manages its businesses. Information with
respect to the registrant's working capital is set forth under the caption
"Financial Review 1991-1993, Liquidity and Capital Structure" of the 1993
Annual Report and is incorporated herein by reference. Information
regarding the registrant's anticipated capital spending is set forth under
the caption "Financial Review 1991-1993, Capital Expenditures" of the 1993
Annual Report and is incorporated herein by reference.


KRAFT PRODUCTS

Chesapeake's kraft products segment includes Chesapeake Paper Products
Company, our kraft products operations, and Chesapeake Forest Products
Company, our woodlands and building products operations, both based in West
Point, Virginia. Chesapeake Building Products Company, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Chesapeake Forest Products Company, was formed in 1993 with
the merger of the company's lumber division and Chesapeake Wood Treating
Co.




2









Chesapeake Paper Products Company

Chesapeake Paper Products manufactures white top paperboard, which
accounts for 80% of the total paperboard product mix, kraft paperboard,
kraft paper, corrugating medium and bleached hardwood pulp at its mill
located in West Point, Virginia. Paperboard and corrugating medium, the
outer and inner materials of a corrugated container, are sold to external
and company-owned container and packaging plants. Kraft paper is sold to
external converters to make bags and wrappings. Our bleached hardwood pulp
is sold primarily to non-pulp producing paper manufacturers which
manufacture predominantly printing and writing paper. Most of our
customers are located in the eastern half of the United States, primarily
in the mid-Atlantic and northeastern states, where we have the advantage of
lower freight rates compared to many of our competitors. We also sell to
international customers, primarily in Canada and Europe. Our salesforce
markets these products to integrated and independent converters and
manufacturers. Total shipments from the West Point mill were 798,000 tons
in 1993, 721,000 tons in 1992 and 708,000 tons in 1991.

In 1993, approximately 65% of the raw materials for products from our
kraft products mill was virgin wood fiber, with the remainder being
recycled fiber recovered through our recycling system. Five company-owned
recycling centers collect recycled fiber for the mill. About 76% of the
virgin wood fiber used in 1993 was purchased from wood producers or
independent timberland owners and the rest was from company-owned
timberlands. In addition to our three paper machines and a market pulp
machine, the West Point facility includes wood storage, wood pulping, paper
recycling and steam and power generation equipment.


Chesapeake Forest Products Company, Woodlands Division

Chesapeake Forest Products, Woodlands Division owns and actively
manages approximately 330,000 acres of timberland located in Virginia,
Maryland, Delaware and North Carolina. The primary objective of our
woodlands operation is to provide an adequate supply of wood at a
competitive cost to our kraft products mill located at West Point. Wood
comes from our company-owned lands and from independent landowners. Our
foresters use environmentally sound, modern forestry methods intended to
ensure a long-term, low-cost fiber supply. Our genetically superior pine
seedlings, which are used in our reforestation program on company-owned
land and by private landowners, grow quicker and provide higher quality,
more uniform fibers at time of harvest than traditional seedlings. We are
actively utilizing natural reforestation techniques to generate new
hardwood timber stands on company-owned and privately held land.







3










For more than 25 years, Chesapeake has participated in research
programs that have improved the quality, disease resistance and growth rate
of our planted trees.


Chesapeake Building Products Company

Chesapeake Building Products Company operates four sawmills in
Virginia and Maryland, manufacturing pine and hardwood lumber. The raw
materials are provided from both company-owned timberlands and from other
independent landowners. Our sawmill products are sold by our own
salesforce to independent users.

Substantially all of the assets of the former Chesapeake Wood Treating
Co. were conveyed to Universal Forest Products, Inc. under lease and
purchase agreements in October 1993. Chesapeake Wood Treating Co. produced
chemically treated pine lumber for the home improvement and residential
construction markets. Net sales of this business were $85.8 million in
1993, $97.7 million in 1992 and $81.7 million in 1991.


TISSUE

Chesapeake's tissue segment includes Wisconsin Tissue Mills Inc.,
which produces tissue for industrial and commercial markets, and Chespeake
Consumer Products Company, a converter of tissue products for the consumer
market.

Wisconsin Tissue Mills Inc.

Wisconsin Tissue, acquired in 1985, manufactures napkins,
tablecovers, toweling, placemats, wipers and facial and bathroom tissue for
commercial and industrial markets at its paper mill and converting
facilities located in Menasha, Wisconsin. Our strategy is to provide a
full line of disposable products for the commercial and industrial tissue
markets. Our 2,200 products are found in full-menu and fast-food
restaurants, hotels, motels, clubs, health care facilities, schools and
office locations and on airlines.

The raw material for the paper we manufacture is 100% recycled fiber.
Four paper machines manufacture base tissue stock that is converted on over
100 specialized machines. The Company believes that its computerized
warehouse inventory and distribution systems give it an advantage over many
of its competitors in product shipping efficiency and inventory control.
Our tissue products are sold throughout the United States and in Canada by
our national salesforce. Shipments by Wisconsin Tissue were 220,000 tons
in 1993, 211,000 tons in 1992 and 190,000 tons in 1991.


4








Chesapeake Consumer Products Company

The strategic objective of Chesapeake Consumer Products, formed in
1989 from acquired companies and an internally developed product line, is
to expand the marketing and distribution of tabletop tissue products. In
1990 the product line was narrowed to focus on napkins, plates, cups,
tablecovers and accessories, and in 1992 and 1993 the company reorganized
the former Finess portion of the business. With our narrow product focus
we believe we can be successful in the highly competitive consumer products
marketplace. Our consumer products are sold throughout the United States
by our own salesforce and by independent representatives, and can be found
in supermarkets, retail chain stores and other mass merchandisers. We have
improved our manufacturing process by installing state-of-the-art napkin
converting and napkin wrapping machines and adding a new warehouse and
shipping area. During 1993, Chesapeake Consumer Products began producing
napkins that used flexographic edge-to-edge printing technology.


PACKAGING

Chesapeake Packaging Co.

Chesapeake Packaging has three marketing thrusts: point-of-sale
displays and specialty packaging, consumer graphic packaging and corrugated
shipping containers.

We believe that our packaging group is a leader in serving the point-
of-sale display and specialty packaging needs of major national consumer
products companies. Through a network of regional sales and design
offices, the point-of-sale group, Chesapeake Display and Packaging Company,
provides creative design services to our customers. Our manufacturing
facilities utilize modern production, assembly and packaging processes to
meet our customers' stringent quality and shipment demands. With the
recent consolidation of the company's West Des Moines, Iowa packaging plant
into its Sandusky, Ohio facility, at year-end 1993 we had two strategically
located point-of-sale display and specialty packaging manufacturing plants
and four assembly plants which provide service to customers throughout the
United States.

Our Color-Box facility supplies consumer graphic packaging to
customers nationwide that require full litho-laminated point-of-sale
packaging. The final phase of a $13 million expansion project to double
the capacity of this facility was completed 1993.

At year-end 1993 we owned seven corrugated container plants that
manufactured corrugated boxes and specialty packaging for customers within
each plant's geographic area. The raw materials



5









for the packaging plants include paperboard and corrugating medium
(purchased both from independent suppliers and from Chesapeake Paper
Products) that are converted to make the walls of the packaging unit.
Various converting equipment is used to print, cut, slot and glue the
container to customer specifications.

Additional growth is anticipated in graphic packaging and corrugated
shipping containers with the January 24, 1994 acquistion of Lawless Holding
Corporation by Chesapeake Packaging. This acquisition included the Lawless
Container Corporation corrugated container plant in North Tonawanda, New
York; corrugated sheet plants in Scotia, New York, LeRoy, New York and
Madison, Ohio; and Lawless Packaging and Display, a consumer graphic
packaging plant in Buffalo, New York.


OTHER BUSINESSES

Delmarva Properties, Inc. and Stonehouse Inc.

Delmarva Properties develops and markets land that has potential for
value greater than as timberland. Nearly all of Delmarva Properties'
present land inventory of approximately 15,000 acres was formerly
timberland owned by Chesapeake Forest Products. Delmarva Properties
develops land in Virginia, Maryland and Delaware primarily for residential
housing. Sales also include large lots and acreage for others to develop.

Stonehouse Inc. is managing the planning for development of a new
7,600-acre planned community near Williamsburg, Virginia. The company is
in the process of applying for required permits and approvals for this
large project. Sales are not anticipated until at least the latter part of
the 1990s. Most of Stonehouse's land was formerly timberland owned by
Chesapeake Forest Products.


RAW MATERIALS

The Company's raw materials are readily available at competitive
prices.

EMPLOYEES

As of December 31, 1993, the Company had 4,833 employees. The Company
believes that its relations with its employees are good. In 1992, the
Company reached agreement on five-year collective bargaining agreements
with the unions representing employees at the Wisconsin Tissue and
Chesapeake Paper Products mills.

COMPETITION AND SEASONALITY

With its diversity of products, Chesapeake has many customers buying
different products and is not dependent on any single customer, or group of
customers, in any market segment. Longstanding relationships exist with
many of our customers who place orders on a continuing basis. Because of
the nature of our business, order backlog is not large. The third and
fourth quarters of each year are usually the highest in sales and earnings.
Our major businesses generally experience peak activity during the months
of August through October.

Competition is intense in all business segments from much larger
companies and from local and regional producers and converters. The
Company believes that competitive factors in our industry preclude a
meaningful estimate of the number of competitors and, except as noted, the
Company's relative competitive position. The Company does not have any
appreciable market share in pure commodity products, such as bleached
hardwood pulp and brown paperboard. For this reason, the Company has de-
emphasized these products to pursue specialty products that we believe will
provide less pricing volatility and increased profitability. We believe
that, with our strengths of customer service and competitive products, we
are well positioned to compete in these specialized markets.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

In addition to forestry research programs, the Company conducts
limited continuing technical research and development projects relating to
new products and improvements of existing products and processes.
Expenditures for research and development activities are not material.



Item 2. Properties

At year-end 1993, Chesapeake manufactured or converted paper and wood
products at 36 facilities in 11 states. The information presented under
"Operating Managers and Locations" in the 1993 Annual Report is
incorporated herein by reference. The Company owns substantially all of
its production facilities, which are

well maintained and in good operating condition, and are utilized at
practical capacities that vary in accordance with product mixes, market
conditions and machine configurations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACC0UNTANTS


To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
Chesapeake Corporation:

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Chesapeake
Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993, which financial
statements are included in the 1993 Annual Report to Stockholders of
Chesapeake Corporation and incorporated herein by reference. We have also
audited the financial statement schedules listed in the index on page 13 of
this Form 10-K. These financial statements and financial statement
schedules are the responsibility of the company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial statement schedules based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Chesapeake Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and 1992,
and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993 in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, in our
opinion, the financial statement schedules referred to above, when
considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole,
present fairly, in all material respects, the information required to be
included therein.

As discussed in notes 4, 6 and 13 to the consolidated financial
statements, the company changed its methods of accounting for
postretirement benefits other than pensions and accounting for income taxes
in 1992.
