In 2004, Spiral Paper Tube & Core started manufacturing Edge Protectors.

WHY ARE EDGE PROTECTORS NEEDED?

Paper prices were on the rise and manufacturing corrugated boxes became increasingly more expensive. In order to keep providing cardboard boxes at reasonable market prices, manufacturers decided to use lower quality paper.

Product Diversity: Paper Tubes & Edge Protectors

Diversify DeAnna Kane

 

To diversify, or not to diversify. A company’s brand may hinge on many things, including products and diversity within those products.
