For Label & Tape Converters
Core crush, dimensional consistency, and emergency backup stock
Your rewinders do not wait, and neither do your customers. NHPT supplies 3" and 6" converter cores with the inside-diameter tolerance and edge quality automatic chucks demand — wound from 100% recycled kraft one state away from most New England converting floors. When another supplier shorts you, a named-account core reserve in Raymond means the line keeps running anyway.
Spec it by the web, not the catalog
Send web width, material, winding tension, and finished-roll weight. We spec wall thickness and ply construction against your real loads — see our crush strength guide for the variables that matter — and verify ID and edge quality on every production run.
Backup stock that answers the phone
Single-sourcing cores from a plant four states away is a quiet line-down risk. Our core reserve program winds and shelves your exact SKUs in Raymond, released on a phone call, with 24-hour rush turnaround behind it.
Changeovers without drama
Consistent cores chuck up the same way every time. That means faster roll changes, fewer rejects at the rewinder, and one less variable when you are chasing a quality issue upstream.

FAQ
What core sizes do most converters order?
3" ID is the converting standard and our most-run size; 6" appears on high-speed and heavy-roll applications. We wind both — and everything from 1" to 8" — to your wall spec.
Can you match the cores we buy today?
Yes. Send one sample core and we reverse-spec ID, wall, plies, and length, then quote an equivalent within 1 business day.
How fast can you replace a shorted delivery?
In-stock and reserve SKUs ship same or next business day; custom runs carry 24-hour rush turnaround. Most New England converters are 1-2 ground days from our dock.
