Glatfelter papers are used to make many products including tea bags, coffee filters, books, postage stamps, playing cards, laminate flooring, food and beverage labels, signs and even temporary highway lane markers. From best-selling novels to trade journals or textbooks, Glatfelter is the publishing industry's paper of choice. Recent bestsellers printed on Glatfelter paper include John Adams by David McCullough, Code to Zero by Ken Follett, The Bear and the Dragon by Tom Clancy, The Greatest Generation by Tom Brokaw, and Dreamcatcher, A Novel by Stephen King. One ton of Glatfelter paper makes about 15 million stamps. Last year, more than 25 billion stamps were produced in the United States using Glatfelter paper. Playing cards are made using two pieces of paper laminated together. One ton of Glatfelter paper makes about 12,000 decks of playing cards. Each year, Glatfelter makes enough overlay paper (used in laminate flooring and counter tops) to completely cover Pennsylvania nearly two and a half times. Every year, Glatfelter makes enough tea bag paper to circle the Earth 11 times. Yearly production is enough to brew 58 billion cups of tea.

Today, every Glatfelter facility in the U.S. is ISO 14001 certified. Plans call for all facilities worldwide to be certified by 2004.
