Cigarette Paper Applications

We produce a wide variety of Cigarette Papers to meet our customers' most exacting needs and specifications, including stringent regulatory requirements. These offer our customers a range of product differentiation attributes and options that is virtually unlimited.		  

LIP Paper

Paper for Lower Ignition Propensity (LIP) cigarettes is now a rapidly growing requirement in more and more markets. We are an industry leader in this category thanks to our groundbreaking Alginex® water-based technology, which enables cigarette manufacturers to meet regulatory requirements without interfering in the smoking experience their consumers seek.		  

Cigar Applications

Manufacturers of machine-made cigars utilize our wrapper and binder products, both made from reconstituted tobacco. Binder holds the tobacco filler in a cylindrical shape during production. Wrapper covers the outside of the cigar, providing a uniform, finished appearance.		  

Reconstituted Tobacco Leaf (RTL)

A mainstay of the industry and a strategic component of blending, RTL is a filler formed from tobacco leaf remnants and byproducts into a highly uniform component that permits our customers to achieve blend consistency and taste signature—elements designed into cigarettes which are critical to market success.
