Tape and Label Cores for Converters
3" and 6" paper cores for label and tape converters across New England — tight ID tolerance, clean edges, crush-rated walls, 24-hour rush turnaround.
Label stock and tape are only as good as the core they ship on. NHPT winds converting-grade cores with consistent inside diameter, clean square edges, and walls specified to your crush requirement — so rolls chuck up true and run at full line speed. We are the core supplier down the road, not three freight days away.
3" and 6" converter standards
Both industry-standard IDs, wound to your wall and width, in 100% recycled kraft. Tell us your web tension and roll weight; we will spec the wall with you.
Emergency backup stock
Single-sourcing cores from another region is a line-down risk. Ask about a guaranteed core reserve — your SKUs, wound and shelved in Raymond, released on a phone call.
Dimensional consistency
ID tolerance and edge quality are checked on every run. Cores arrive ready for automatic chucks and high-RPM rewinds.
