A lightweight alternative to steel reels at one-third the cost and weight, Sonoco molded plastic drawing, bunching, and stranding reels hold 12% more wire for shipping.
Our 18”, 22” and 30” flange diameter reels are available with several traverses. Sonoco plastic reels are also reusable and recyclable.
Sonoco plastic welding wire reels provide trouble-free winding and serve as an industry standard for packaging and shipping.
Sonoco molded plastic utility spools provide durable, attractive, inexpensive, one-way shipping packages for a wide range of products, including insulated wire, cordage, and other filaments.
Empty reels take up a lot of valuable space when shipped or stored. Sonoco’s three-piece Twist-Lok plastic spools ship disassembled, delivering more spools per truckload and taking up less warehouse space. The spools assemble and disassemble by hand in seconds—without tools. Just insert the drum into the flanges and twist to lock in place. To disassemble, simply lift the locking tabs on the flanges and twist again.
Available for food-contact applications, Twist-Lok spools are ideal for lighter materials such as food package zip-closures and foam sealing strips, hook and loop fastener tapes, and other lighter-weight cordage.
Twist-Lok spools are made of recyclable plastic and take up 70% less storage and shipping space than assembled spools.

Our three-piece wire reel features plastic flanges bolted to a steel barrel, creating a durable, dimensionally true, splinter-free product. This structurally robust wire reel comes in a range of colors and accommodates various traverse lengths. Replaceable components include the plastic flanges and metal barrel. The galvanized steel barrel provides the flexibility to accommodate shipping or in-process use.
Sonoco EconoReel plastic reels and spools for the wire and cable industry are engineered for durability while delivering strong performance at a lower cost.
Constructed with precision molded parts, EconoReel plastic reels and spools are welded so there is no flange separation and no wire loss.
Our comprehensive line of plastic wire spools is manufactured in a broad range of sizes and materials to meet the needs of the wire industry. All spools are designed for high-speed winding with high tensile strength and impact qualities.
This innovative product line features the Reel Tough DIN 630 reel, made specifically for 630 bunchers. The reel design allows wire producers to maximize drawing and bunching machine capacity with smooth, trouble-free payoff. Constructed of high-strength, solid polymers, Reel Tough plastic reels feature a unique design that adds strength where it's needed most—at the flange rim and where the ribs and hub intersect.

Plastic fine wire spools offer high tensile strength and excellent flange rigidity to help prevent flange deflection. They also provide a high degree of accuracy, which is essential for winding finer gauges of wire.
Sonoco injection molded plastic taper reels feature smooth plastic flanges that assist in high-speed de-reeling, minimizing flange deflection and reducing the possibility of trapped wire.
The three-piece bolted construction enhances the possibility of reuse since damaged components can be replaced. All reel components are recyclable, providing savings and sustainable benefits.
Additional features include start and finish holes in the flanges and a Dura-Grip barrel finish to prevent movement of the initial layer of wire on the tapered barrel.
Molded in standard high-impact styrene and ABS, our 50 lb. and 100 lb. plastic taper reels are ideal for shipping medium- to fine-gauge magnet wire, as well as other copper and plated copper conductors. The reel’s tapered barrel is designed to prevent wire tangling, and an optional Dura-Grip finish can be applied to the barrel to hold the initial startup wire in place.
Plastic taper reels with carrying capacities of 250 lbs., 550 lbs., 750 lbs., and 1000 lbs. are also available. With superior winding and de-reeling properties, these plastic reels provide the wire industry the optimal approach to modern packaging.
