Besides sealing the ends of the package, outside headers are used to protect the ends of the paper roll from moisture and water migration, dirt, grease, gases, light, scuffing and damage during distribution. The quality and appearance of an outside header is a reflection of the quality of paper contained inside the roll.

Cascades Sonoco’s advanced technology and materials science has been used to design outside headers that offer exceptional performance and protection throughout production and distribution, thus ensuring paper roll quality and integrity.

Designed to perform on manual, semi-automated and full robotic wrapping lines, outside headers are die-cut to precise tolerances (+/- 0.5" or 1.27 cm) so that edges are clean, headers separate easily and there are fewer interlocking fibers between heads and less dust. Porosity levels are monitored through rigorous quality assurance measures, ensuring high performance on robotic lines. Superior adhesion secures headers on the roll. To minimize slipping during roll handling, outside headers feature proper slide angle performance, a true safety benefit. Outside headers can be printed with identification and/or specifications.

Choose from a broad range of materials, sizes, weights, porosity and printing options.

Outside Headers Options:

• Various substrates including Linerboard (Kraft and Recycled), Chipboard, etc.
• Coated headers for heat sealability or plain for glue application
• Diameters from 13" to 80" (33 cm to 203 cm)
• Porosity control with a 60 second minimum (Gurley porosity using Tappi 460 standards)
• With and without center holes and vents
• Peel-off header product available (pre-glued headers with release liner)
• Can be printed for identification and/or specifications
