When most people think of paper discs and caps, they imagine simple packaging or protective components. But in the hands of the right industries, these paper-based products become critical to function, safety, and efficiency. At Ace Paper Tube, we manufacture high-performance paper discs and caps that serve far beyond traditional applications—supporting everything from precision machinery to explosive pyrotechnics. Two standout examples? The fireworks and automobile industries.
In the fireworks industry, paper discs and caps play a vital role in safety, structure, and performance. Heavy-duty paper discs are often used as separators and stabilizers within aerial shells and other pyrotechnic devices. These components help contain and direct explosive charges, ensuring a predictable burst pattern while maintaining structural integrity during launch. Likewise, paper caps are used as end closures and protective seals that contain ignition materials until the moment of activation. Unlike plastic or metal alternatives, paper is lightweight, biodegradable, and safe to burn—making it the perfect material for this high-stakes application.
The automobile industry also puts paper discs to the test. Our custom-cut discs are used as spacers, gaskets, and insulators in various manufacturing processes and mechanical assemblies. Whether preventing metal-on-metal contact, or protecting delicate components during shipping, paper discs provide a reliable, cost-effective solution. Our products are engineered to meet the demanding specifications of auto manufacturers and suppliers.
In addition, paper discs and caps are widely used as paint masks in industrial and automotive finishing processes, offering a simple yet highly effective solution for protecting specific surfaces during painting, coating, or powder applications. These components are precisely cut to cover bolt holes, threaded openings, or surface areas that must remain clean and unpainted. Made from heat-resistant, non-bleeding paper, they withstand high curing temperatures and ensure clean, sharp edges when removed. Their lightweight, disposable nature makes them a cost-efficient and eco-conscious alternative to plastic or metal masking tools, while their custom sizing ensures a perfect fit for a variety of parts and components.
Paper discs and caps also serve as effective and eco-friendly thread protectors across a wide range of industrial applications. When fitted over threaded rods, bolts, pipes, or tubing, these components provide a protective barrier that shields the threads from dirt, moisture, and damage during shipping, storage, or handling. Unlike plastic alternatives, paper thread protectors are biodegradable, lightweight, and cost-effective—ideal for companies seeking sustainable solutions without compromising protection. Their customizability in size and thickness also ensures a snug fit for both standard and non-standard thread sizes, making them a practical choice for manufacturers and distributors looking to preserve product integrity and reduce waste.
