Repulpable Tapes
To achieve true quality, a tape must meet all your needs.
Outstanding strength is not enough. The tape must be easy to
use, easy to choose, readily available and fully repulpable.
Over the past four decades, we’ve built our reputation as an
industry leader by being responsive to the increasingly complex
needs of paper producers. Today, our customer base consists of
clients who demand no less of their product than we demand of ours.
