- Published: February 20, 2026
A FOUNDATION OF PROVEN PERFORMANCE
In converting environments where uptime and consistency are essential, Yazoo Mills is recognized for delivering best-in-class products and dependable service. Founded in 1902, the company is the largest independent manufacturer of paper tubes and cores in North America, supporting customers with the scale, discipline, and operational consistency required to perform in demanding markets.
DESIGNED FOR CONSISTENT CONVERTING PERFORMANCE
For converting manufacturers, reliability starts at the core. Yazoo Mills produces high-performance paper cores engineered for strength and precision—helping customers maintain smooth winding operations and avoid costly disruptions. With inside diameters ranging from 3/4” to 20”, wall thicknesses up to .660” on most blade cuts, and burr-free cuts up to 10” ID and lengths up to 53 feet, Yazoo delivers the flexibility converters need without sacrificing consistency. Trim-free production further supports cleaner runs and reduced waste.
CUSTOM SOLUTIONS, BACKED BY 124 YEARS OF EXPERTISE
Yazoo Mills works closely with customers to deliver solutions tailored to their operations. Custom-printed liners and covers, embossing, notching, and one- or two-color in-line printing support exact specifications across a wide range of applications. Supported by a knowledgeable, responsive team, Yazoo takes a consultative approach to ensure customers receive the right products—exactly when they need them.
PREDICTABLE SPEED IN A DEMANDING MARKET
Meeting the demands of today’s converting operations requires more than speed; it requires consistency and predictability. Yazoo Mills pairs extensive customization with fast, reliable fulfillment, supported by more than 350 tooling options and a wide range of finishes. Custom orders ship in 48 hours with no minimums, while its industry-leading 3” I.D. and 6” I.D. stock core program ships the same day for orders placed before 4 p.m. EST. This allows customers to plan production with confidence.
EXPANDING CAPACITY TO SUPPORT WHAT’S NEXT
Yazoo Mills continues to reinvest in its operations to stay ahead of evolving market needs and support long-term growth. The addition of a third manufacturing facility in Hanover, Pennsylvania, opened in January 2026, expands total manufacturing space to 407,000 square feet and includes five new high-speed production lines. Enhanced scheduling capabilities strengthen planning accuracy and capacity across all three facilities, positioning Yazoo Mills to scale efficiently while continuing to deliver consistent quality and reliable service as customer needs evolve.
A PARTNER BUILT FOR THE LONG TERM
Manufactured from 100% recycled premium paperboard, Yazoo Mills products support environmental responsibility and long-term operational efficiency. Backed by more than a century of manufacturing experience and ongoing reinvestment, Yazoo Mills remains focused on delivering the consistency, responsiveness, and production capacity converting manufacturers can depend on—today and into the future.
