Fifty firefighters have been tackling a blaze which broke out at a warehouse in Greater Manchester in the early hours.
Crews were called to Georgia Pacific, off Lockett Road in Ashton-in-Makerfield, Wigan, at about 0320 BST.
At its height, a large plume of smoke could be seen from 10 miles away, Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service said.
A spokesman said there was no danger to the public and no other buildings were at risk.
However access to nearby buildings is restricted, he added.
