Precision paper cores for converting, winding, and industry
Paper cores manufactured to spec in New Hampshire: converting, winding, label, textile, and industrial cores with true IDs and crush-rated walls.
The core is the part nobody sees and everybody depends on. NHPT manufactures precision paper cores for converting, winding, labels, textiles, and general industry — IDs from 1 inch to 8 inches, walls from .030 inch to .125 inch and beyond, wound from 100% recycled kraft and checked for ID and edge quality on every production run.
One supplier, every core on the floor
Slitting cores, label cores, mill cores, spool and reel cores, textile carriers: standardize the whole rack with one regional supplier and one quality standard.
Engineered, not cataloged
Send roll weight, tension, chuck type, and storage conditions. We spec wall and construction against the load — the free crush-strength consult comes with samples to prove it on your own equipment.
Close enough to fix problems fast
Wound in Raymond NH, 1-2 ground days from most New England plants. Short shipments get made whole the same week, and core reserve programs put guaranteed stock on our shelves for your SKUs.
