Abstract
The present invention relates to a paint roller having an open end which can be inserted into an applicator handle and a surface area adapted for use in painting. The core of the roller is made from a core material and the core has an inner surface and an outer surface. A major portion of the core has a substantially uniform thickness. A cover is affixed to substantially all of an outer surface of the core and a processed region at one end of the core has a reduced thickness which is less than the substantially uniform thickness of the major portion of the core. The processed region of the core is folded inward such that the one of the core and the reduced portion of the core material are not exposed at the end of the paint roller.
