Hop Industries, makers of Hop-Syn synthetic paper, in conjunction with Augusta, Maine-based J.S. McCarthy Printers are proud to be involved with Wreaths Across America’s annual tribute to U.S. veterans. Each year, Wreaths Across America works with J.S. McCarthy to produce the tags on Hop-Syn synthetic paper, which is chosen for its ability to meet extreme weather conditions.
Wreaths Across America, which started out as one man’s annual tribute, now represents a legion of volunteers that participate in the wreath-laying ceremony to honor our nation’s heroes in over 1,230 cemeteries nationwide.
Tags That Endure
J.S. McCarthy chooses the Hop-Syn XT paper grade for the Wreaths Across America tags because it stands up to the elements. Hop-Syn XT is an extra tear-resistant synthetic paper made from a unique mixture of calcium carbonate and polypropylene resin. It delivers the printing performance of a fine offset paper thanks to its high dyne level and smooth matte finish. The substrate is also 100% recyclable, and is ideal for outdoor applications like the annual Wreaths Across America initiative.
Remember. Honor. Teach.
Wreaths Across America provides several programs to honor U.S. veterans, including the popular “Thanks a Million” campaign which distributes cards to people all over the country to give veterans as simple “thank you” for their service. The organization also participates in veterans’ events throughout the year and is committed to teaching younger generations about the value of their freedoms and the importance of honoring those who sacrificed to protect those freedoms.
