1993 Annual Report to Shareholders - Part I and Part II

Proxy Statement - Annual Meeting of Stockholders -

May 5, 1994 - Part I and Part III



ITEM 1 - BUSINESS

Bemis Company, Inc., a Missouri corporation, continues a business formed
in 1858. The Registrant was incorporated in 1885 as Bemis Bro. Bag Company with
the name changed to Bemis Company, Inc. in 1965.

The Registrant is a principal manufacturer of flexible packaging products
and specialty coated and graphics products. Information about the Registrant's
operations in different business segments appearing on pages 38 and 39 of the
the accompanying 1993 Annual Report to Shareholders is incorporated by reference
in this Form 10-K Annual Report.

As of December 31, 1993, the Registrant had approximately 7,600 employees,
of which an estimated 5,100 were classified as production employees. Most of
the production employees are covered by collective bargaining contracts
involving six different international unions and 22 individual contracts with
terms ranging from three to five years. During 1993, six contracts covering
approximately 800 employees at six different locations in the United States were
successfully negotiated. During 1994, seven labor agreements are scheduled to
expire.

Working capital elements throughout the year fluctuate in relation to the
level of business. Customer and vendor payment terms are generally net 30 days;
exceptions to these terms are not material. Inventory levels reflect a
reasonable balance between raw material pricing and availability, and our
commitment to promptly fill customer orders.

Backlogs are not a significant factor in the industries in which the
Registrant operates; most orders placed with the Registrant are for delivery
within 90 days or less.

The Registrant owns patents, licenses, trademarks, and trade names on its
products. The loss of any or all patents, licenses, trademarks, or trade names
would not have a materially adverse effect on the Registrant's results as a
whole or either of its segments. The business of each of the segments is not
seasonal to any

significant extent. A summary of the Registrant's business activities reported
by its two business segments follows:

FLEXIBLE PACKAGING PRODUCTS - The Registrant and its subsidiaries manufacture a
broad range of industrial and consumer packaging comprised of coated and
laminated films, polyethylene packaging, packaging machinery, multiwall and
consumer-size paper packaging and specialty containers.
Coated and laminated film packaging includes extruding, coating, laminating,
metallizing, printing and converting to perishable and frozen food packaging,
and products such as stretch film and carton sealing tape. Coated and laminated
films accounted for 32%, 32% and 31%, of consolidated net sales for the years
1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.

Polyethylene packaging products include extruded products, printed roll stock
and pre-formed bags. Polyethylene products accounted for 16%, 10% and 9% of
consolidated net sales for the years 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
Packaging machinery includes the manufacture of packaging systems for an
extensive list of consumer and industrial products ranging from toilet tissue,
candy and frozen vegetables to fertilizer, insulation materials, detergent and
pharmaceutical products. Packaging machinery accounted for 9%, 9% and 9% of
consolidated net sales for the years 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
Multiwall and consumer-size paper bags are produced for a wide range of
industrial and consumer packaging products such as seed, feed, flour, cement and
chemicals, and small consumer-size packages for such products as sugar, flour,
rice and petfood. Sales of this product line accounted for 17%, 16% and 17% of
consolidated net sales for the years 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.

- 3 -


SPECIALTY COATED AND GRAPHICS PRODUCTS - The Registrant manufactures pressure-
sensitive materials which includes a full line of industrial adhesive products
for mounting and bonding, quality roll label and sheet print stocks for numerous
applications including packaging labels, and a line of highly specialized
laminates for graphics and photography. Pressure-sensitive materials accounted
for 24%, 27% and 25% of consolidated net sales for the years 1993, 1992 and
1991, respectively. This product segment also includes the manufacture of
pressure-sensitive label applicating equipment, rotogravure cylinders and film
services.

MARKETING, DISTRIBUTION AND COMPETITION
While the Registrant's sales are made through a variety of distribution
methods, more than 70% of each segment's sales are made by the Registrant's
sales force. Sales offices and plants are located throughout the United States,
Canada, Great Britain, Europe and Scandinavia to provide prompt and economical
service to more than 30,000 customers. The highly technical sales force is
supported by product development engineers, design technicians and a customer
service organization.

No single customer accounts for 10% or more of the Registrant's total
sales of either of its two business segments. Furthermore, the loss of one or a
few major customers would not have a material adverse effect on their operating
results.

The major markets in which the Registrant sells its products are highly
competitive. Areas of competition include price, innovation, quality and
service. This competition is significant as to both the size and number of
competing firms.

Major competitors in the Flexible Packaging Products segment include
American National Can, Printpack, James River, Cryovac, Huntsman Chemical, AEP
Industries, Stone Container and Union Camp. In the Specialty Coated and
Graphics Products segment major competitors include Avery-Dennison, Flexcon,
Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing, Jackstadt (Germany) and Haarla (Finland).

- 4 -



The Registrant considers itself to be a significant factor in the market niches
it serves; however, due to the diversity of the Flexible Packaging and Specialty
Coated and Graphics Products segments, the Registrant's precise competitive
position in these markets is not reasonably determinable.

Advertising is limited primarily to business and trade publications, and
emphasizes our packaging and related capabilities and the individual problem-
solving approach to customer problems.

RAW MATERIALS

Plastic resins, paper and chemicals constitute the basic major raw
materials. These are purchased from a variety of industry sources. While
temporary shortages of raw materials may occur occasionally, these items are
currently readily available.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSE
Research and development expenditures were as follows:



1993 1992 1991
----------- ----------- -----------

Flexible Packaging Products $ 9,910,000 $10,791,000 $ 8,214,000
Specialty Coated and Graphics Products 4,174,000 5,148,000 5,009,000
---------- ---------- ----------
Total $14,084,000 $15,939,000 $13,223,000
---------- ---------- ----------


ENVIRONMENT CONTROL

Compliance with federal, state and local provisions which have been
enacted or adopted regulating discharges of materials into the environment, or
otherwise relating to the protection of the environment is not expected to have
a material effect upon the capital expenditures, earnings and competitive
position of the Registrant and its subsidiaries.

ITEM 2 - PROPERTIES

Properties utilized by the Registrant and its subsidiaries at December 31,
1993, were as follows:

- 5 -



FLEXIBLE PACKAGING PRODUCTS - The Registrant has 33 manufacturing plants of
which seven are leased, located in 17 states and two foreign countries. Leases
generally provide for minimum terms of two to 45 years and have one or more
five-year renewal options. The initial terms of leases in effect at December
31, 1993, expire between 1994 and 2009.

SPECIALTY COATED AND GRAPHICS PRODUCTS - The Registrant has nine manufacturing
plants of which three are leased, located in four states and three foreign
countries. Leases generally provide for minimum terms of five to 25 years and
have one or more renewal options. The initial terms of leases in effect as of
December 31, 1993, expire between 1996 and 2008.

CORPORATE - The executive offices of the Registrant, which are leased, are
located in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The Registrant considers its plants and other physical properties to be
suitable, adequate and of sufficient productive capacity to meet the
requirements of its business. The manufacturing plants operate at varying
levels of capacity depending on the type of operation and market conditions.

ITEM 3 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Registrant is involved in a number of lawsuits, including superfund
litigation, incidental to its business. None of the litigation is material to
the Registrant, and the Registrant is not aware of any pending or threatened
litigation that is likely to have a material adverse affect upon the
Registrant's business, operating results or financial condition. The Registrant
is a potentially responsible party (PRP) in approximately twenty superfund sites
around the United States. At over one half of these sites the Registrant has
full insurance protection. At a majority of the remaining sites the Registrant
is a "de minimis" PRP and has negotiated a position as such. In all cases in
which the Registrant is uninsured or where insurance coverage is in dispute, the
Registrant has reserved an amount that it believes to be adequate to cover its
exposure.
