You're 132 tons from Tier 3. At your current pace you'll cross the threshold the week of Sep 7 — the program backdates your bump to the start of Q3.

Tier structure shown is illustrative — final incentive design to be developed jointly with Manchester Industries and Clearwater Paper.

One program, two ways to buy

Qualified transactions can be fulfilled through Manchester (sheeted & converted) or Clearwater (mill-direct) depending on your spec and volume — same program rules, same incentive, one consolidated invoice.

Why members route this through Manchester

Five converting centers mean your sheets arrive trimmed to press-ready spec without a converter in the middle. Most members run weekly mixed-spec orders this way and save truckload volume for their highest-running grade.

Case study · How members use the program

Tri-County Carton hit Tier 3 a quarter early — without changing volume.

By routing high-running SBS mill-direct through Clearwater and keeping mixed-spec work with Manchester sheeting, Tri-County's combined volume crossed Tier 3 in Q1. The program counts both paths toward one tier.

Marcus Webb

Tri-County Carton · 6 yrs as customer · ★★★★★

The single-invoice setup is the quiet win. Mill-direct truckloads and sheeted fill-in orders land on one statement with the incentive math already done. Our AP closes it in minutes.

Priya Natarajan

Lakeshore Print Group · 4 yrs as customer · ★★★★☆

Sheeting quality out of Richmond is consistently press-ready. Summer mill-direct lead times can stretch — plan truckloads six weeks out and you're fine.
