About Royal Paper®
As one of the leading privately owned, fully integrated manufacturers of personal and commercial paper products in America, Royal Paper® makes a full range of retail branded and private label high-quality bath tissue, paper towels, facial tissue and napkins that consistently meet or exceed national brand standards. Our unwavering commitment to quality, integrity and sustainability informs every facet of our ecological production processes and exceptional service we provide for our partners and their brands.
Quality. Integrity. Sustainability. That’s the Royal Treatment™.
Our philosophy has always been centered around helping our retail and away-from-home partners deliver the highest quality paper products to their consumers. For some, that means we provide them with our sustainably manufactured, proven Earth First®, SuperSoft™, EcoFirst®, and Platinum® brands. For others, it means we work with them to create custom-tailored private label brands designed to their unique and specific specifications. Either way, it’s about exceeding our partners’ expectations in product quality, service and environmental stewardship.
A History Worth Repeating
Founded in 1992 in Phoenix, AZ, Royal Paper® is a fully-integrated manufacturer of sustainable, high-quality bath tissue, paper towels, facial tissue and napkins serving the retail and away-from-home markets. Over the past three decades, Royal Paper® has built a reputation for being a valuable thought leader to our partners to help them grow as much as we have for being a leading manufacturer of quality paper products. What’s more, our recent acquisition of Sun Paper, a highly respected manufacturer and supplier of bath, facial, towel and napkin paper products, has enabled us to expand to coast-to-coast manufacturing. This enables our 100% U.S. operations to better service our national partners at every delivery point with a full range of high-quality paper products.
