FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Strength Performance

All of the papers manufactured at KapStone Roanoke Rapids are made from renewable resources using 100% southern softwood fiber that is sourced in compliance with the requirements of the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI). The long fibers combined with manufacturing excellence provide a base for superior strength products to meet our customer’s packaging needs.

Consistent Runnability & Uniform Profiles

We take pride in reducing variability across the entire manufacturing process, which in turn creates efficiencies during our customer’s converting process. Overall process variability reduction supports excellent machine direction profiles.In addition, intense focus on paper making process controls drive superior cross direction profiles.

Printing & Converting Capabilities

Our paper’s high natural sizing along with our clean, smooth, and low lint surface creates an optimal sheet for waxing, polycoating, laminating and printing.
