Save All Old Stamps2007-06-22
 

Never destroy or discard worn stamps!  Over the next few weeks, your NELMA inspector will be leaving a special NELMA bag at each WPM member facility for the deposit/collection of worn IPPC, Dunnage and HT stamps.   Place all worn stamps in this bag and keep in the area most visited by the NELMA inspector. Your Inspector will retrieve and document all stamps placed in this bag.

When IPPC, IPPC Dunnage and/or HT stamps begin to show signs of wear and are no longer providing good quality marks on your packaging, call the NELMA office at 207-829-6901 to order replacements or speak with your NELMA inspector during his visit.
 
AS A REMINDER……..all quality marks (stamps) issued to the Facility will remain the property of the Agency (NELMA) and facilities are to use only official quality mark stamps furnished by the Agency.   Please reference items 9 and 10 under The Facility Agrees section of the Agreement To Provide Service to a Wood Packaging Facility signed by your of company

Founded in 1933, the Northeastern Lumber Manufacturer's Association (NELMA) is one of seven lumber rules writing agencies in the U.S. accredited by the American Lumber Standard Committee (ALSC) to write grade rules that are certified as conforming to the American Softwood Lumber Standard PS20.  NELMA is the official author and administrator of the grading rules for Eastern White Pine, in particular.

In addition to the quality control inspection audits we conduct at lumber manufacturers to ensure that on-grade Eastern White Pine products are meeting the needs of consumers, NELMA develops and distributes an array of technical information and unique promotional materials via our member-driven marketing program.  We encourage you to browse through the pages of this website and discover why Eastern White Pine is the very best choice when wood is considered, both environmentally sustainable and application versatile.
