<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Under Missouri law, a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is
a party or is threatened to be made a party to an action (other than an action
by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of that person&#146;s service as a
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or that person&#146;s
service, at the corporation&#146;s request, as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation or other enterprise, against expenses (including
attorneys&#146; fees) that are actually and reasonably incurred by that person (&#147;Expenses&#148;),

that are actually and reasonably incurred, in connection with the defense or
settlement of such action, provided that the person to be indemnified acted in
good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the corporation&#146;s best interests, and, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was
unlawful. Although Missouri law permits a corporation to indemnify any person
referred to above against Expenses in connection with the defense or settlement
of an action by or in the right of the corporation, provided that the person to
be indemnified acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation&#146;s best interests, if such
person has been judged liable to the corporation, indemnification is only
permitted to the extent that the court in which the action was brought
determines that, despite the adjudication of liability, such person is entitled
to indemnity for such Expenses as the court deems proper. The General and
Business Corporation Law of the State of Missouri also provides for mandatory
indemnification of any director, officer, employee or agent against Expenses to
the extent such person has been successful on the merits in any proceeding
covered by the statute. Missouri law allows for the advancement of expenses
pursuant to authorization by the board of directors in certain cases. Missouri
law also allows a corporation to give further indemnity in its articles of
incorporation, bylaws or by agreement of the Shareholders, provided such
further indemnity does not indemnify a person for conduct finally adjudged to
have been knowingly fraudulent, deliberately dishonest or a product of willful
misconduct. In addition, the General Business and Corporation Law of the State
of Missouri provides that indemnification provided by the statute shall not be
deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may
be entitled under the articles of incorporation, the bylaws, any agreement or
vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Article&nbsp;V of our Bylaws requires indemnification of our directors
and officers or directors and officers of our subsidiaries provided the person
to be indemnified acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be
in our best interests, and, in addition, in any criminal action, had no reason
to believe the conduct was unlawful. However, Article&nbsp;V of the Bylaws
prohibits indemnification to which the director or officer is otherwise
entitled for: (1)&nbsp;conduct which is finally adjudged to have been knowingly
fraudulent, deliberately dishonest or willful misconduct; or (2) an accounting
for profits pursuant to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, as amended from time
to time, or pursuant to a successor statute or regulation. &#160;We maintain insurance coverage relating to
certain liabilities of our directors and officers.</font></p>

precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.</font></p>

Item 3.  Incorporation of
Documents by Reference.
We file annual,
quarterly and special reports, proxy statements and other information with the
SEC.  The following documents, which we
have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") pursuant to the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), are incorporated by
reference in this registration statement:
(i)
Our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2005;
(ii)
All other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a)
or 15(d) of the Exchange Act since December 31, 2005; and

The
description of our common stock contained in our registration statement on Form
8-A, dated August 4, 1989 (File No. 1-5277), including any amendment or
report filed for the purpose of updating such description.
All reports and other documents that we have subsequently
filed with the SEC pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment that indicates
that all securities offered have been sold or that deregisters all securities
then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein
and to be a part hereof from the date of filing such documents.
Any statement contained in a document incorporated, or
deemed to be incorporated, by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified
or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a
statement contained herein or incorporated herein by reference or in any other
subsequently filed document that also is or is deemed to be incorporated by
reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement.  Any statement so modified or superseded shall
not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of
this Registration Statement.
Item 4.  Description of
Securities.
Bemis Company, Inc.'s common stock is registered under
Section 12 of the Exchange Act and, therefore, the description of securities is
omitted.
Item 5.  Interests of Named
Experts and Counsel.
James J. Seifert, Vice President and General Counsel of
Bemis Company, Inc., has opined on the legality of the issuance of the common
stock offered pursuant to this registration statement.  As of August 14, 2006, Mr. Seifert
beneficially owned 92,127 shares of our common stock.
Item 6.  Indemnification of
Directors and Officers.
Under Missouri law, a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is
a party or is threatened to be made a party to an action (other than an action
by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of that person's service as a
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or that person's
service, at the corporation's request, as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation or other enterprise, against expenses (including
attorneys' fees) that are actually and reasonably incurred by that person ("Expenses"),
and judgments, fines and amounts paid in
2
settlement
that are actually and reasonably incurred, in connection with the defense or
settlement of such action, provided that the person to be indemnified acted in
good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the corporation's best interests, and, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was
unlawful. Although Missouri law permits a corporation to indemnify any person
referred to above against Expenses in connection with the defense or settlement
of an action by or in the right of the corporation, provided that the person to
be indemnified acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation's best interests, if such
person has been judged liable to the corporation, indemnification is only
permitted to the extent that the court in which the action was brought
determines that, despite the adjudication of liability, such person is entitled
to indemnity for such Expenses as the court deems proper. The General and
Business Corporation Law of the State of Missouri also provides for mandatory
indemnification of any director, officer, employee or agent against Expenses to
the extent such person has been successful on the merits in any proceeding
covered by the statute. Missouri law allows for the advancement of expenses
pursuant to authorization by the board of directors in certain cases. Missouri
law also allows a corporation to give further indemnity in its articles of
incorporation, bylaws or by agreement of the Shareholders, provided such
further indemnity does not indemnify a person for conduct finally adjudged to
have been knowingly fraudulent, deliberately dishonest or a product of willful
misconduct. In addition, the General Business and Corporation Law of the State
of Missouri provides that indemnification provided by the statute shall not be
deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may
be entitled under the articles of incorporation, the bylaws, any agreement or
vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.
Article V of our Bylaws requires indemnification of our directors
and officers or directors and officers of our subsidiaries provided the person
to be indemnified acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be
in our best interests, and, in addition, in any criminal action, had no reason
to believe the conduct was unlawful. However, Article V of the Bylaws
prohibits indemnification to which the director or officer is otherwise
entitled for: (1) conduct which is finally adjudged to have been knowingly
fraudulent, deliberately dishonest or willful misconduct; or (2) an accounting
for profits pursuant to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, as amended from time
to time, or pursuant to a successor statute or regulation.  We maintain insurance coverage relating to
certain liabilities of our directors and officers.

Item 9.  Undertakings.
A.            The Company hereby undertakes:
(1)           To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i)                  To include any
prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii)                 To reflect in
the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the
Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase
or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may
be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in
volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum
aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee"
table in the effective Registration Statement; and
(iii)                To include any
material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in the Registration Statement;
provided
,
however
, that
paragraphs (A)(1)(i) and (A)(1)(ii) do not apply if the Registration
Statement is on Form S-8 and the information required to be included
in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports
filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the
Company pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement.
(2)           That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
4
(3)           To
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of
the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
B.            The
Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under
the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Company's annual report pursuant
to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual
report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934)
that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
C.            Insofar as
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable.  In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit
or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
