RAW® Tips are made on an original-type Fourdrinier paper machine. RAW® papers are made in Alcoy, Spain, where we have machines to work only with thin paper. For the thick tipping paper, we had to travel to an old paper mill in Northern China that was still using an original-type Fourdrinier. This was the only place we could find that still had one of these machines in use, which we needed to make the special, long-fiber paper for RAW® tips.
