Paperband composites for transferring a paper web from a full web spool to an empty web spool. In some embodiments, the paperband composite is applied in several layers to an empty web spool, each layer suitable for fixedly attaching a paper web to the empty spool. Multiple layers of paperband composite allow for use during multiple turn-up procedures with one layer of paperband composite used per turn-up procedure. In some examples, the paperband composite may be applied to a paper spool tangentially along the spool face and perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the spool. In other examples, the paperband composite may be spirally wrapped around the paper spool.

A long medium has a start end, a final end, a first side edge connecting the start end and the final end, and a second side edge connecting the start end and the final end. The long medium includes first reference holes formed at a first pitch along the first side edge, N pieces of first conveyance holes formed along the first side edge at a second pitch smaller than the first pitch, and formed between adjacent first reference holes, in which N is a positive integer, first index holes formed along the first side edge at a third pitch smaller than the first pitch and respectively positioned in first index hole forming areas each set between the adjacent first reference holes, and second reference holes formed at the first pitch along the second side edge.
