MANUFACTURING CAPABILITIES

Paper and board converting, reel to reel

Fine paper and board converted in a continuous web, from unwind to finished reel.

How paper and board converting works at Makson

Converting turns a mill’s parent reel into material a packaging line can run. At Makson the web stays continuous from unwind to rewind: it is printed, coated where specified, and finished without being cut into sheets.

Reel-to-reel converting of lightweight paper depends on precise tension control along the whole line. Five decades of experience with fine papers is what sets Makson apart.
