Plastic Cores, Custom Endwalls & Core Plugs
Sonoco’s plastic cores, custom endwalls, and core plugs offer exceptional dimensional stability and superior strength to protect your products during transport and storage.
Uncompromising Protection & Performance
The dimensional stability and strength of our plastic core plugs and endwalls protect rolls and prevent fallout that damages both product and productivity. Available in many standard sizes, our plastic cores and endwalls can be custom made for your specific requirements.
Plastic Film Winding Cores for Today’s High Winding Speeds
Our customers in window film, PVB safety glass film, paint protection film, geomembrane film, flexible film, medical grade and electronics films rely on Sonoco extruded and injection molded plastic cores and tubes for their strength, durability, and dimensional consistency. Our high-performance plastic cores feature a range of surface qualities and characteristics engineered to minimize surface markings and improve winding and unwinding. As winding speeds increase, our expertly designed cores dissipate radial pressures, protect internal diameter integrity, and reduce growth of core length. This helps improve manufacturing processes and reduce costs from waste.
Leading manufacturers trust the consistent, reliable performance of Sonoco plastic cores to protect their delicate, sensitive films. Made from durable, stable plastics, including polypropylene, styrene, ethylene and ABS, our QS 2000 high-end film cores deliver a wide array of benefits, including:
- 3”-6” diameter
- Dust- and moisture-free performance in clean environments
- Customer-specified lengths and winding speeds
- Superior crush resistance
- Excellent TIR control - straightness
- Excellent ovality control - Precise roundness
- Minimum quality variation
- Exceptional surface smoothness
- Reusability and reclamation
Sonoco plastic cores offer high-value options for packaging, protection, and reuse.
