                              PART I

Item 1.  Business

GENERAL

     Chesapeake Corporation, a Virginia corporation organized in 1918, is a
paper and packaging  company, whose primary businesses  are kraft products,
tissue  and packaging.  Our operating businesses include:  Chesapeake Paper
Products Company  and Chesapeake  Forest Products Company  (kraft products,
building products  and woodlands  operations); Wisconsin Tissue  Mills Inc.
(commercial and industrial  tissue products); Chesapeake Consumer  Products
Company  (consumer tabletop  tissue  products);  Chesapeake  Packaging  Co.
(point-of-sale displays and specialty packaging, consumer graphic packaging
and  corrugated shipping  containers);  and Delmarva  Properties, Inc.  and
Stonehouse Inc. (land development).

    Chesapeake  competes in  a  large, capital-intensive  industry.   Until
several  years ago,  Chesapeake's products  were primarily  kraft commodity
products manufactured  at Chesapeake Paper Products.  In commodity markets,
selling  prices are controlled  by total market  supply and demand.   To be
successful in these  markets, it  is important to  maximize production  and
minimize  operating  costs.    Selling  prices  and  profits for  commodity
products are usually cyclical and follow general economic conditions.

     During  the past several years,  Chesapeake has pursued  a strategy of
focusing  on specialty products  in markets  that management  believes have
growth  potential or in  which the  Company has or  may be able  to achieve
competitive  advantages.    The Company's  strategy  for  success  with its
specialty products  is to  utilize its  recycling expertise  creatively, to
differentiate itself from its  competition by producing products  which are
distinctive  and to utilize its  superior ability to  respond to customers'
requirements.   Management  believes this  strategy  allows the  Company to
achieve  less cyclical and greater profits than with commodity products and
to  better utilize Chesapeake's strengths.  During 1993, sales of specialty
products  were approximately 60% of  Chesapeake's total sales.   During the
last  three years,  low  selling prices  for  commodity products,  such  as
bleached  market pulp  and  corrugating medium,  have  offset much  of  the
benefit derived from specialty product sales.
                                                            
     Because we understand the  service needs of our customers,  we believe
we  are able  to provide  quality products  quickly and  efficiently.   Our
decentralized  management   style  allows  quick  decision   making.    Our
operations are designed  to be  flexible to changing  customer demands  and
business conditions.
                                     1









     Our  manufacturing and  converting  processes  are capital  intensive;
property, plant  and equipment, including timber  and timberlands, comprise
approximately 70% of  our total  assets.  Our  tissue and kraft  operations
require major  investments in  paper machines, fiber  preparation equipment
and converting equipment.   In  1992, the Company  completed an  eight-year
$600  million capital  spending program  for  machinery, equipment  and new
technology to increase  production of specialty products while reducing the
company's  emphasis on pure commodity products such as brown paperboard and
bleached hardwood pulp.  About one-half of these expenditures have been for
paper machine projects for  our kraft and tissue businesses.   This program
also included a $100 million project for a recovery boiler, evaporators and
related equipment for our kraft business.  At our other businesses, we have
continued  to invest  in  specialized converting  and processing  equipment
needed  to meet our strategic goals and  customer requirements.  During the
past  nine years, acquisitions have amounted to approximately $200 million.
The major acquisition was Wisconsin Tissue, which provided the Company with
a significant, immediate  presence in the industrial  and commercial tissue
market.   Other acquisitions,  primarily in  packaging, have  benefited the
Company with immediate expertise or marketing strength for our future needs
and requirements.  

     Our businesses are grouped into three major segments:  kraft products,
tissue  and packaging.  The information presented in "Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements, Note 14  - Business Segment Information" of  the 1993
Annual Report to  Stockholders (the "1993  Annual Report") is  incorporated
herein by  reference.  Industry segment  groupings were changed in  1993 to
better reflect the way Chesapeake manages its businesses.  Information with
respect to the registrant's working capital is set forth under  the caption
"Financial Review 1991-1993, Liquidity  and Capital Structure" of the  1993
Annual  Report  and  is  incorporated herein  by  reference.    Information
regarding the registrant's anticipated capital spending  is set forth under
the caption "Financial Review 1991-1993, Capital Expenditures" of  the 1993
Annual Report and is incorporated herein by reference.


KRAFT PRODUCTS

     Chesapeake's kraft products segment includes Chesapeake Paper Products
Company,  our kraft  products  operations, and  Chesapeake Forest  Products
Company, our woodlands and building products operations, both based in West
Point,  Virginia.   Chesapeake  Building Products  Company, a  wholly owned
subsidiary of Chesapeake Forest  Products Company, was formed in  1993 with
the  merger of the company's  lumber division and  Chesapeake Wood Treating
Co. 




                                     2









Chesapeake Paper Products Company

     Chesapeake  Paper Products  manufactures white  top paperboard,  which
accounts for 80%  of the  total paperboard product  mix, kraft  paperboard,
kraft  paper, corrugating  medium and  bleached hardwood  pulp at  its mill
located  in West Point, Virginia.   Paperboard and  corrugating medium, the
outer and inner materials  of a corrugated container, are  sold to external
and company-owned container and packaging plants.   Kraft paper is sold  to
external converters to make bags and wrappings.  Our bleached hardwood pulp
is  sold   primarily  to  non-pulp  producing   paper  manufacturers  which
manufacture  predominantly  printing  and  writing  paper.    Most  of  our
customers are located  in the eastern half of  the United States, primarily
in the mid-Atlantic and northeastern states, where we have the advantage of
lower  freight rates compared to many of  our competitors.  We also sell to
international  customers, primarily in  Canada and Europe.   Our salesforce
markets  these  products  to  integrated  and  independent  converters  and
manufacturers.  Total shipments from the West Point mill were  798,000 tons
in 1993, 721,000 tons in 1992 and 708,000 tons in 1991.

     In 1993, approximately 65% of the  raw materials for products from our
kraft  products  mill  was virgin  wood  fiber,  with  the remainder  being
recycled fiber recovered through our recycling  system.  Five company-owned
recycling centers  collect recycled fiber for  the mill.  About  76% of the
virgin  wood fiber  used  in  1993 was  purchased  from wood  producers  or
independent  timberland   owners  and  the  rest   was  from  company-owned
timberlands.   In addition to  our three paper  machines and a  market pulp
machine, the West Point facility includes wood storage, wood pulping, paper
recycling and steam and power generation equipment.


Chesapeake Forest Products Company, Woodlands Division

    Chesapeake  Forest  Products,  Woodlands  Division  owns  and  actively
manages  approximately 330,000  acres  of timberland  located in  Virginia,
Maryland,  Delaware and  North  Carolina.   The  primary objective  of  our
woodlands  operation  is  to provide  an  adequate  supply  of  wood  at  a
competitive cost  to our kraft products  mill located at West  Point.  Wood
comes  from our company-owned lands  and from independent  landowners.  Our
foresters use  environmentally sound,  modern forestry methods  intended to
ensure a long-term, low-cost  fiber supply.  Our genetically  superior pine
seedlings, which  are used in  our reforestation  program on  company-owned
land  and by private landowners,  grow quicker and  provide higher quality,
more uniform fibers at time of harvest than traditional seedlings.   We are
actively  utilizing  natural  reforestation  techniques  to  generate   new
hardwood timber stands on company-owned and privately held land.







                                     3










     For  more than  25  years,  Chesapeake  has participated  in  research
programs that have improved the quality, disease resistance and growth rate
of our planted trees.  


Chesapeake Building Products Company

     Chesapeake  Building  Products  Company   operates  four  sawmills  in
Virginia and Maryland,  manufacturing pine  and hardwood lumber.   The  raw
materials are  provided from both company-owned timberlands  and from other
independent  landowners.    Our  sawmill  products  are  sold  by  our  own
salesforce to independent users.

     Substantially all of the assets of the former Chesapeake Wood Treating
Co.  were conveyed  to  Universal Forest  Products,  Inc. under  lease  and
purchase agreements in October 1993.  Chesapeake Wood Treating Co. produced
chemically treated  pine lumber  for the  home improvement  and residential
construction markets.   Net sales  of this business  were $85.8 million  in
1993, $97.7 million in 1992 and $81.7 million in 1991.


TISSUE

     Chesapeake's  tissue segment  includes  Wisconsin  Tissue Mills  Inc.,
which produces tissue  for industrial and commercial markets, and Chespeake
Consumer  Products Company, a converter of tissue products for the consumer
market.

Wisconsin Tissue Mills Inc.

      Wisconsin   Tissue,   acquired   in   1985,   manufactures   napkins,
tablecovers, toweling, placemats, wipers and facial and bathroom tissue for
commercial  and  industrial  markets  at  its  paper  mill  and  converting
facilities  located in Menasha,  Wisconsin.  Our  strategy is to  provide a
full line of disposable  products for the commercial and  industrial tissue
markets.    Our  2,200  products  are  found  in  full-menu  and  fast-food
restaurants,  hotels, motels,  clubs, health  care facilities,  schools and
office locations and on airlines.

     The  raw material for the paper we manufacture is 100% recycled fiber.
Four paper machines manufacture base tissue stock that is converted on over
100 specialized  machines.   The  Company  believes that  its  computerized
warehouse inventory and distribution systems give it an advantage over many
of its  competitors in product  shipping efficiency and  inventory control.
Our tissue  products are sold throughout the United States and in Canada by
our national salesforce.   Shipments by Wisconsin Tissue were  220,000 tons
in 1993, 211,000 tons in 1992 and 190,000 tons in 1991.


                                     4








Chesapeake Consumer Products Company

     The  strategic objective  of Chesapeake  Consumer Products,  formed in
1989 from acquired companies  and an internally developed product  line, is
to expand the marketing and  distribution of tabletop tissue products.   In
1990 the  product line  was  narrowed to  focus on  napkins, plates,  cups,
tablecovers and accessories, and  in 1992 and 1993 the  company reorganized
the former Finess  portion of the business.  With  our narrow product focus
we believe we can be successful in the highly competitive consumer products
marketplace.  Our consumer  products are sold throughout the  United States
by our own salesforce and by independent representatives, and  can be found
in supermarkets, retail chain stores and other mass merchandisers.  We have
improved our  manufacturing process  by installing state-of-the-art  napkin
converting  and napkin  wrapping machines  and adding  a new  warehouse and
shipping area.   During 1993, Chesapeake Consumer Products  began producing
napkins that used flexographic edge-to-edge printing technology.  


PACKAGING

Chesapeake Packaging Co.

     Chesapeake  Packaging  has  three  marketing  thrusts:   point-of-sale
displays and specialty packaging, consumer graphic packaging and corrugated
shipping containers.

     We believe  that our packaging group is a leader in serving the point-
of-sale display and  specialty packaging needs  of major national  consumer
products  companies.    Through a  network  of  regional  sales and  design
offices, the point-of-sale group, Chesapeake Display and Packaging Company,
provides  creative  design services  to our  customers.   Our manufacturing
facilities utilize  modern production, assembly and  packaging processes to
meet  our  customers' stringent  quality and  shipment  demands.   With the
recent consolidation of the company's West Des Moines, Iowa packaging plant
into its Sandusky, Ohio facility, at year-end 1993 we had two strategically
located point-of-sale display and  specialty packaging manufacturing plants
and  four assembly plants which provide service to customers throughout the
United States.

     Our  Color-Box  facility   supplies  consumer  graphic  packaging   to
customers  nationwide  that   require  full  litho-laminated  point-of-sale
packaging.   The final phase of  a $13 million expansion  project to double
the capacity of this facility was completed 1993. 

     At year-end  1993  we owned  seven  corrugated container  plants  that
manufactured corrugated boxes and  specialty packaging for customers within
each plant's geographic area.  The raw materials



                                     5









for  the  packaging  plants   include  paperboard  and  corrugating  medium
(purchased  both  from  independent  suppliers and  from  Chesapeake  Paper
Products)  that are  converted to  make the  walls of  the  packaging unit.
Various  converting equipment  is used  to print,  cut, slot  and glue  the
container to customer specifications.

     Additional growth  is anticipated in graphic  packaging and corrugated
shipping containers with the January 24, 1994 acquistion of Lawless Holding
Corporation by Chesapeake Packaging.  This acquisition included the Lawless
Container Corporation  corrugated container  plant in North  Tonawanda, New
York; corrugated  sheet plants in  Scotia, New  York, LeRoy,  New York  and
Madison,  Ohio;  and Lawless  Packaging  and  Display, a  consumer  graphic
packaging plant in Buffalo, New York.


OTHER BUSINESSES

Delmarva Properties, Inc. and Stonehouse Inc.

     Delmarva Properties develops and  markets land that has potential  for
value  greater  than as  timberland.   Nearly  all of  Delmarva Properties'
present  land   inventory  of  approximately  15,000   acres  was  formerly
timberland  owned  by  Chesapeake  Forest Products.    Delmarva  Properties
develops  land in Virginia, Maryland and Delaware primarily for residential
housing.  Sales also include large lots and acreage for others to develop.

     Stonehouse  Inc. is  managing the  planning for  development of  a new
7,600-acre planned  community near Williamsburg, Virginia.   The company is
in  the process  of applying  for required permits  and approvals  for this
large project.  Sales are not anticipated until at least the latter part of
the 1990s.   Most  of Stonehouse's  land was  formerly timberland  owned by
Chesapeake Forest Products.


RAW MATERIALS

     The  Company's  raw materials  are  readily  available at  competitive
prices.

EMPLOYEES

     As of December 31, 1993, the Company had 4,833 employees.  The Company
believes  that its  relations with its  employees are  good.   In 1992, the
Company  reached  agreement on  five-year collective  bargaining agreements
with  the  unions  representing  employees  at  the  Wisconsin  Tissue  and
Chesapeake Paper Products mills.                                           
                
COMPETITION AND SEASONALITY

     With its diversity of  products, Chesapeake has many customers  buying
different products and is not dependent on any single customer, or group of
customers, in any  market segment.   Longstanding relationships exist  with
many  of our customers who place orders  on a continuing basis.  Because of
the  nature of our  business, order  backlog is not  large.  The  third and
fourth quarters of each year are usually the highest in sales and earnings.
Our major businesses  generally experience peak activity  during the months
of August through October.

     Competition  is intense  in  all business  segments  from much  larger
companies  and from  local  and regional  producers  and converters.    The
Company  believes  that  competitive factors  in  our  industry preclude  a
meaningful estimate of the number of competitors and, except as noted,  the
Company's relative competitive  position.   The Company does  not have  any
appreciable  market  share in  pure  commodity products,  such  as bleached
hardwood pulp and  brown paperboard.  For this reason,  the Company has de-
emphasized these products to pursue specialty products that we believe will
provide less pricing  volatility and increased  profitability.  We  believe
that, with our strengths  of customer service and competitive  products, we
are well positioned to compete in these specialized markets.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT                          
                 
     In  addition  to  forestry  research programs,  the  Company  conducts
limited continuing technical research  and development projects relating to
new  products   and  improvements  of  existing   products  and  processes.
Expenditures for research and development activities are not material.     

                         

Item 2.  Properties

    At  year-end 1993, Chesapeake manufactured  or converted paper and wood
products at  36 facilities in  11 states.  The  information presented under
"Operating   Managers  and  Locations"   in  the  1993   Annual  Report  is
incorporated  herein by reference.   The Company owns  substantially all of
its production facilities, which are




                                     7








well  maintained and  in  good operating  condition,  and are  utilized  at

                     REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACC0UNTANTS


To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
Chesapeake Corporation:

     We have  audited the  consolidated financial statements  of Chesapeake
Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and for each
of the three years in  the period ended December 31, 1993,  which financial
statements  are included  in  the 1993  Annual  Report to  Stockholders  of
Chesapeake  Corporation and incorporated herein by reference.  We have also
audited the financial statement schedules listed in the index on page 13 of
this  Form  10-K.    These  financial statements  and  financial  statement
schedules  are  the  responsibility  of  the  company's  management.    Our
responsibility is to express  an opinion on these financial  statements and
financial statement schedules based on our audits.

    We conducted our audits in accordance with  generally accepted auditing
standards.   Those standards require that we  plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement.   An audit includes  examining, on a test  basis,
evidence  supporting   the  amounts   and  disclosures  in   the  financial
statements.   An audit also  includes assessing  the accounting  principles
used  and significant estimates made  by management, as  well as evaluating
the overall financial statement  presentation.  We believe that  our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.  

     In  our opinion,  the financial statements  referred to  above present
fairly, in  all material respects,  the consolidated financial  position of
Chesapeake Corporation and subsidiaries  as of December 31, 1993  and 1992,
and the consolidated  results of their operations and their  cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993 in conformity
with generally  accepted  accounting  principles.    In  addition,  in  our
opinion,  the  financial  statement   schedules  referred  to  above,  when
considered in  relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole,
present  fairly, in all material  respects, the information  required to be
included therein.  

     As  discussed  in notes  4,  6 and  13  to the  consolidated financial
statements,   the   company  changed   its   methods   of  accounting   for
postretirement benefits other than pensions and accounting for income taxes
in 1992.
