Sonoco High-Performance Film Cores
Minimize surface markings and improve winding and unwinding characteristics with Sonoco’s line of high-performance film cores. Ideal for clean-room applications, our fiber and plastic cores handle your specific roll weights, winding and packaging configurations with a range of surface qualities and characteristics that optimize core performance for thin metallic foils, graphics/self-adhesive films and more.
Stretch Film Cores
Improve runnability and lower costs with Sonoco’s paper mill cores. We set the standard for performance with a complete line of graphic paper, containerboard, paperboard, tissue and towel, pulp and nonwoven, and newsprint cores. Leveraging our industry experience and cutting-edge technology, we customize core products for your specific applications, equipment and processes.
Shrink Film Cores
Match your specific strength and performance needs. Sonoco designs shrink film cores to eliminate radial pressure and protect the internal diameter integrity, protecting from chewout, core length growth and other damage. Designed for efficient winding and unwinding, our cores streamline your manufacturing process and decrease manual labor costs.
General Film Cores
Wind and unwind more efficiently with cores engineered to fit your product's unique properties. Designed with Torque Transmission (T2) technology to enhance your circularity initiatives, our fiber and plastic cores incorporate recycled materials and reduce landfill waste from core damage that can lead to profit loss, safety issues, machine downtime and decreased productivity.
Eliminate Chewout with T2 Technology Enhanced Cores
Get rid of the hassle, risk and expense of core chewout with Sonoco’s Torque Transmission or T2 technology enhanced film cores. Through in-depth chuck interaction research, we improved chewout and spin-out resistance with this technology, providing you:
- Up to 100% torque resistance
- Decreased machinery downtime and scrap
- More reuse of cores
- Reduced vibration and web breaks from chewout issues during splicing
- Improved plant floor safety
- Enhanced product protection
