LOS ANGELES, Jan. 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Acorn Paper announces the launch of a new division today, focused on meeting the paper, packaging, janitorial/sanitation and custom promotional needs of the Cannabis industry. Branded as Acorn Paper Cannabis Packaging (APCP), this division will address the entire cannabis supply chain to growers, manufacturers, distributors and consumer facing retail products. Acorn Paper is positioning itself to become a packaging industry thought leader in the fast-growing cannabis industry.
To lead this division, Acorn has hired Brad Davis as the APCP Product Category manager. A trailblazing senior sales, marketing and business development executive, Davis has a proven record leveraging innovation to drive revenue and market share growth. Davis' background includes several C-suite corporate sales executive posts, at major digital media organizations including Disney, AOL and Comcast.

Acorn Paper Cannabis Packaging will initially focus on the West Coast, but will offer a national footprint and e-commerce solutions in the coming year.
