Interested in minimizing waste?
Sonoco's fiber and plastic high-performance film cores feature a range of surface qualities and characteristics designed to minimize surface markings and improve winding and unwinding characteristics, optimizing performance. As winding speeds increase, our expertly designed cores dissipate radial pressures, protect internal diameter integrity and reduce core length growth, helping manufacturers improve manufacturing processes and reduce costs from waste.
High Quality. High Visibility.
Sonoco offers more than cores designed for tape and label manufacturers.
Sonoco’s total systems approach includes a needs assessment by our packaging specialists; testing and quality assurance, where cores are tested repeatedly for dimensional consistency and wall strength; personalization for additional visibility of your company name and logo; and service after the sale, where technical specialists work to troubleshoot potential problems.
Superior manufacturing processes and graphics ensure that our cores also offer the highest in quality, performing under the toughest packaging demands.
