Paper Cores

Paper cores are used in fabric, adhesive, electrical, paper product and converting industries as a sturdy base around which to wind materials for storage or distribution. Cores might also be referred to as cardboard cores, since paper and cardboard are made from the same materials and in core manufacturing are the same. Paper cores can be relatively thin, providing a minimally substantial core for rolled products like toilet paper and paper towels, or they can be thick and strong like packing tape cores.

Different from other kinds of paper tubes, cores are manufactured to provide stable storage from the inside of a product roll. Products such as tape, paper, plastic or metal foil are wound around the core to maximize space efficiency. Made from wood pulp fiber, paper cores can be combined with a variety of adhesives and laminates which give the core product properties such as strength, water resistance or heat resistance. Made for a wide range of applications, paper cores come in virtually limitless combinations of diameter, thickness and length.

Many consumer product manufacturers use paper cores to store and hold materials. A few consumer applications include fabric, cellophane wrap, aluminum foil, film, electrical and packing tape, disposable paper products, foam, ribbon, labels and stickers. Industrial manufacturers use cores in specialized converting, slitting and die-cutting applications, often rolling materials around longer lengths of cores and slitting the rolled product into distributable portions. Although plastic cores are available for many such applications, paper proves consistently to be the more cost-effective, practical and environmentally sustainable solution. Paper is by far easier for manufacturers to cut, purchase and recycle than most other materials.
