Proco Papers Europe has added sheeting services for DuPont Tyvek to its product offerings. The company can sheet specialty papers and synthetic substrates into custom sizes from A4 to B1 on short turnaround times of 5-10 working days. In addition to Tyvek, Proco supplies its own Protuf synthetic paper made by Avery Dennison, which is a plasticized, non-tear waterproof sheet ideal for applications like race numbers and maps. The company also provides a line of heat-activated label papers typically used in bedding and furniture labeling.

Specialist paper merchant Proco Papers Europe has added
sheeting of DuPont Tyvek to its range of services.
Proco: sheeting service for Tyvek and Protuf
The Llantrisant, South Wales company became independent in March
when it was acquired from former US parent Proco Inc, which makes heat-
seal substrates.
The five-strong firm specialises in bespoke sizes and quick turnaround
times on its range of niche substrates.
“We are offering a five-to-ten working days service on any sheet size,
from A4 up to B1. Quantities could be as little as a box of A4,” explained
operations manager Glen Perry. “We are sheeting from 1,200mm rolls so
we can get multiples across. People can have completely bespoke sizes if
they need it.”
As well as DuPont’s tearproof Tyvek grade, Proco also supplies its own
Protuf synthetic paper, which is made for the company by Avery
Dennison.
“It’s a plasticised, non-tear, waterproof sheet without fibres. It’s ideal for
things like race numbers, waterproof maps and swing tags,” Perry
explained.
The firm continues to supply the Proco range of heat-activated label
papers, which are 250mic thick and typically used in bedding and
furniture applications, such as labels for mattresses and carpets.
Proco Papers is also looking to expand its range with additional specialist
substrates.
