BOSTON – Sappi Fine Paper North America today announced the tenth episode of its humorous online video series, Off Register™ on The Flo Channel, entitled "Improving the Workplace" which spoofs the often mundane team-building exercises at the office.

In "Improving the Workplace," actors from Second City Improv deliver another satirical episode as they participate in a training workshop where they are asked to share their feelings in a round-table therapy session. Sappi's own Robert Forsberg, VP of Sales & Business Development also makes a special cameo appearance in this episode. "We've all been in emotionally embarrassing situations before and the workplace is no different. Sappi pokes fun at those awkward moments," says Patti Groh, Director, Marketing Communications, Sappi Fine Paper North America. "That being said, we could not help but find a way to bring humor to your day with our Off Register series, which continues to be popular with our customers."
Sappi's Off Register not only shares hilarious stories of printing, it also celebrates the quirks of print production, the personalities people must contend with in the process, and the desire to produce good work despite uncontrollable variables. Sappi continues to invite printers to share their own 'war stories' for future episodes. Story ideas can also be submitted through offregister@sappi.com.
