Papermaking (cont.)
Finally, the finished paper is
wound into a giant roll and removed from the paper
machine. One roll can be as wide as 30 feet and weigh
as much as 20 tons! The roll of paper is cut into
smaller rolls, or sometimes into sheets, before being
shipped to a converting plant where it will be printed
or made into products such as envelopes, paper bags,
or boxes.
