RW 1 drw.txt REQUEST FOR REGISTRATION WITHDRAWL Pliant Corporation 1475 Woodfield Road, Suite 700 Schaumburg, Illinois 60173 August 11, 2003 VIA EDGAR Securities and Exchange Commission Division of Corporation Finance 450 Fifth Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20549 Attn: Pamela A. Long, Assistant Director Re: Pliant Corporation Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-4, File No. 333-86532-01 to 09 Application for Withdrawal Ladies and Gentlemen: Pursuant to Rule 477(a) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), the undersigned registrants (the "Registrants") hereby request the immediate withdrawal of Post-Effective Amendment No. 1, together with all exhibits thereto (collectively, the "Post-Effective Amendment"), to Registration Statement on Form S-4, Commission File Nos. 333-86532-01 to 09 (the "Registration Statement"). The Post-Effective Amendment was originally filed with the Commission on April 30, 2003. The Post-Effective Amendment was filed to update the market making prospectus contained in the Registration Statement relating to the 13% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2010 of Pliant Corporation ("Pliant") and related guarantees. Based on comments received and subsequent discussions with the staff of the Commission, Pliant concluded that Rule 401 under the Securities Act required the Registrants to update the market making prospectus on Form S-1, rather than Form S-4, given that the exchange offer originally covered by the Registration Statement is now complete. Accordingly, the Registrants filed a new registration statement on Form S-1 (File Nos. 333-106432-01 to 09) on June 24, 2003. This registration statement was declared effective by the Commission on August 6, 2003 and covers all market making transactions intended to be covered by the Post-Effective Amendment. No securities have been sold pursuant to the Post-Effective Amendment. Accordingly, the Registrants respectfully request the withdrawal of the Post-Effective Amendment as soon as reasonably possible. If you have any questions regarding this application for withdrawal, please contact Reed W. Topham, Esq., of Stoel Rives LLP, legal counsel to the Registrants, at (801) 578-6918.
