Union officials had encouraged the thousand hourly workers to reject the company's offer.
They say the contract didn't address their concerns over random drug tests, increased wages, and benefits for retirees.
Contract talks ended last week, and union officials say there is no work stoppage planned, but they haven't ruled it out.
A spokesperson for Westvaco said the company felt it offered a fair contract proposal.

A report says the teen birth rate in the U-S has dropped--
But it adds that America is still behind other Western countries when it comes to reducing teen pregnancies.
The study attributes the success of other countries to teaching young people more about birth control and allowing them greater access to it.
It also says other Western nations, including Britain and Canada, provide more incentives for teens to delay childbearing.
Researchers acknowledge the birth rate among U-S teens dropped to a record low last year.
But they say the U-S still has a long way to go.

Federal regulators say Virginia must repay 62 MILLION dollars in Medicaid money by early next year.
The money helped pay the bills of indigent patients at hospitals in Richmond and Charlottesville.
Published reports say the federal government told the state that it went over a two-year limit on claims under a program for hospitals that care for a large number of uninsured patients.
The Gilmore administration said yesterday it will appeal.
There's already an estimated 173 MILLION-dollar shortfall in the state Medicaid budget this year.
