Why robust cores are important
Tape and label suppliers understand the operational importance of strong, reliable cores, which can minimize machine downtime, help maintain product appearance, and support precision rewinding and slitting processes. Consequently, we are a critical link in the supply chains of many converters and product manufacturers.
Our process starts with the use of high-quality raw materials that offer superior moisture resistance and thermal stability. We build our cores to tight tolerances to reduce vibration and slippage during the winding and unwinding operations.
Our cores are validated through lab tests and real-world experience to guarantee the maximum possible production uptime. We can also customize cores with several options, including notched ends that make roll removal easier or colored for identification. We can print our cores in black, blue, or red ink in a spiral pattern. We also ensure that the label core cuts are clean to meet our quality standards.
Our ability to offer a range of core dimensions, lengths, and thicknesses allows our customers to specify the exact core attributes they need:
- Diameters: From a .380″ inside diameter up to a 12″ inside diameter
- Lengths: From .250″ long to 20′ long tubes
- Thicknesses: From .030″ thickness to .500″ thickness
Our ability to spot and quickly act on market trends that affect customer requirements enables us to offer solutions that stand out in today’s competitive environment. What’s more, our strong relationships with suppliers and stakeholders allow us to maintain reliable production and timely deliveries.
