At Yazoo mills, We Demand Quality
From raw materials to finished products, we demand quality. Quality, reliability, and consistency are a way of life at Yazoo. All of our tubes are manufactured from 100% recycled paperboard, custom-made to our specifications, from the best-in-class mills in North America. We hold all of our raw material suppliers to strict tolerances in order to produce a high-quality consistent product for our customers.
The Yazoo quality control system is in effect for inspecting and testing all raw materials before and during processing. This system provides assurance that the material continues to meet the physical, chemical, functional, visual, and dimensional requirements needed by the customer.
