The spiral paper tube manufacturer New England keeps close
Spiral wound paper tubes and cores manufactured in Raymond NH — millions of units monthly, 100% recycled kraft, custom IDs and walls, quotes in 1 business day.
Spiral winding is what we do all day: ribbons of recycled kraft wound at angle over a mandrel, glued ply over ply, cut clean to length. As a dedicated spiral paper tube manufacturer, NHPT runs millions of units a month across every ID from 1 inch to 8 inches — and stays close enough to New England buyers that a quote, a sample, or a fix is days away, not weeks.
Why spiral wound wins
Spiral construction puts seams in a continuous helix, distributing load evenly around the tube. The result is better crush resistance per gram of paper than convolute construction for most industrial uses.
Custom is the default
Every run is wound to order: your ID, wall, length, print, and end treatment. Stock sizes exist for speed; custom is where we live.
