The Most Widely Used Coated Abrasive
Paper-backed abrasives remain the industry standard for woodworking, metal fabrication, and surface preparation — valued for predictable behavior, cost control, and broad application range.
Despite being considered a "basic" product, paper abrasives place high demands on coating stability, grain distribution, and batch consistency — especially in high-volume supply programs.
For distributors, OEM brands, and converters, paper abrasives are a core, long-term product category. We manufacture them in large, controlled batches with attention to coating uniformity — the factors that matter most in repeat supply.

Paper Abrasive Product Forms
Based on paper abrasive jumbo rolls produced in-house, we supply paper abrasives in the following finished forms. Each form is manufactured to support repeatable performance, stable quality, and long-term supply programs.
Paper Sanding Discs
The most common finished form for paper-backed abrasives. Widely used across woodworking, metal surface preparation, and maintenance applications where consistent cutting behavior and cost control are required.
- Uniform coating performance
- Stable results across repeated orders
- Suitable for distribution and private-label programs
Paper Abrasive Rolls
Supplied for applications where flexibility and cutting-to-length are required. Commonly used in workshops, maintenance environments, and production lines.
- Consistent coating quality throughout the roll
- No performance variation from mixed sourcing
- Popular with distributors and MRO channels
Paper Long Sheets
Produced by converting jumbo rolls into extended sheet formats for manual sanding or surface preparation where controlled coverage and flexibility are needed.
- Standardized abrasive performance
- Adaptable to regional market preferences
- Same coating control as discs and rolls
Product form is not chosen in isolation.
In paper abrasives manufacturing, backing type, abrasive grain, and product form are defined together to ensure predictable sanding performance and stable long-term supply. Our role as a manufacturer is to support these combinations consistently, rather than offering disconnected product variants.
Manufacturing & Batch Consistency
When you source paper abrasives in volume, consistency has to start from the material itself — not adjusted after conversion.
Paper Abrasive Jumbo Rolls
When you source paper abrasives in volume, consistency has to start from the material itself. If the base abrasive roll changes, performance differences will show up sooner or later in finished discs or rolls.
Your paper abrasives are produced from jumbo rolls made under controlled coating conditions, so cutting behavior is established at the material level rather than adjusted after conversion.
Coating Uniformity
Uneven grain distribution is one of the most common reasons end users feel that "this batch sands differently". It leads to unpredictable cutting speed and uneven wear during use.
By keeping the abrasive coating uniform across the surface, sanding performance remains predictable throughout the product life, not just at the beginning.
Batch-Based Production
Many paper abrasive issues do not appear in the first order, but only after repeat shipments. Small variations between mixed production runs accumulate and eventually turn into complaints.
Production is organized in defined batches to help ensure that each repeat order delivers the same sanding behavior you approved previously.
In-House Conversion
When jumbo rolls are converted by different parties, even small processing differences can affect final performance. This is especially noticeable in high-volume disc and roll programs.
By converting jumbo rolls into finished paper abrasives in-house, process variation is reduced and control stays within one manufacturing system.
Quality Checks During Production
Problems discovered after delivery are costly and difficult to trace back to their source. In paper abrasives, these issues are often related to coating or backing inconsistencies.
Checks during production and conversion help identify potential issues early, before products reach your warehouse or your customers.
Batch Identification & Traceability
When a performance issue occurs, knowing what changed — and what did not — is critical. Without batch identification, repeatability becomes difficult to manage.
Each batch is identified and recorded, making long-term programs easier to review, adjust, and keep stable over time.
Batch consistency is not a feature — it's a requirement for long-term supply programs.

For Your Brand, Not Just One Order
You can work with us to produce paper abrasives under your own brand, with defined backing, grain, and performance level. The goal is to help you offer a product your customers can reorder with confidence, not something that changes from batch to batch.
Consistency That Supports Repeat Sales
Private-label paper abrasives only work when repeat orders feel the same as the first one. Our manufacturing focus is on keeping coating behavior, appearance, and performance stable, so you do not have to re-explain your product to your market every time.
Built for Long-Term Programs
OEM and private-label cooperation is treated as an ongoing program, not a one-time transaction. This approach helps you plan pricing, inventory, and market positioning without worrying about unexpected changes in quality.
OEM / Private Label Capability
If you are building or expanding your own paper abrasives line, the key challenge is not launching the first order — it is keeping the product consistent and recognizable over time.
