As the demand for eco-friendly packaging solutions continues to grow, Guelph Twines Ltd. is proud to introduce its newest product innovation, Twisted Paper Cord, a sustainable, machine-ready solution for retail, grocery, and e-commerce paper bag handles. Manufactured in Canada from 100% kraft paper, this new cord is designed to meet the needs of environmentally conscious brands while delivering the strength, performance, and reliability for which Guelph Twines is known.
Engineered for Modern Packaging Demands
Guelph Twines’ twisted paper cord is precision-engineered for high-speed bag-making systems, offering smooth and consistent runnability across both automated and manual production lines. Available in diameters from 2 mm to 5 mm (with custom sizing), the product can be tailored to fit any application, from boutique retail bags to large grocery sacks.
Each spool features a uniform twist and diameter, ensuring consistent tension and reliable performance on major handle application systems, including American Newlong, Garant, Sunhope, Holweg Weber, Sahil Graphics, and many more. Brands can choose between waxed or unwaxed finishes and even opt for fiberglass reinforcement for added strength, depending on machine setup or bag requirements.
100% Paper. 100% Sustainable.
In an era when consumers and corporations alike are moving away from plastics, Guelph Twines’ twisted paper cord represents a plastic-free, biodegradable, and compostable alternative. Crafted entirely from natural kraft paper, it not only supports sustainable manufacturing but also helps packaging producers meet evolving environmental regulations in North America and abroad.
This aligns directly with Guelph Twines’ long-standing commitment to sustainability, a principle rooted in its broader operations. The company’s manufacturing practices include waste reduction, material recycling, and the use of rail transport for raw materials to reduce emissions. Introducing twisted paper cord is the next natural step in this environmental journey, reinforcing the company’s reputation as a trusted, forward-thinking Canadian manufacturer.
Strength, Reliability, and Supply You Can Count On
Beyond its environmental benefits, the twisted paper cord offers exceptional reliability and supply chain stability. Being Canadian-made means shorter lead times, consistent quality control, and dependable availability, eliminating the delays and variability often associated with imported cords.
Customers can expect the same dedication to performance and service that Guelph Twines has upheld for over 50 years across its twine and cable filler product lines. Each spool of twisted paper cord reflects that legacy, combining strength, precision, and purpose to deliver superior performance in every strand.

The response was overwhelmingly positive, with packaging professionals excited to see a North American-made, sustainable cord that integrates seamlessly with leading machinery. These discussions further reinforced Guelph Twines’ role as a reliable manufacturing partner ready to support the future of paper-based packaging.
