Paper tubes & cores for Connecticut converters

Connecticut is advanced-manufacturing country — the heart of the Northeast’s “Aerospace Alley” — alongside a substantial printing base and, most relevant to us, a cluster of paper, film, and nonwoven converters that buy cores directly. A 200-plus-maker craft-beverage scene adds steady demand for labels, film, and shipping cores. They are the operations our spiral-wound paper tubes and cardboard cores are built for.

Connecticut freight — planned lanes from New Hampshire

Hartford and New Haven are roughly 150 miles from Raymond — about two and a half hours down I-93 and I-91 — so Connecticut is a planned-freight state, which is exactly why converters there keep a New England paper core supplier on the bench for rush and backup coverage. Connecticut’s makers are organized through ManufactureCT and the CONNSTEP MEP center.
