Film and Flexible Packaging Cores
Custom Packaging Cores
These cores are specially made for customers wrapping film or paper onto the core surface.
- We can upgrade the paper to insure greater crush values than standard paper grades.
- We also blade cut or deburr the ends to insure they slide easily on your shaft.
- Blade cutting improves length tolerances.
- Reduced outside seam gaps minimize any ridges in your rolls, maintaining a smooth outer finish.
Give us your requirements and let your team help specify paper grades, cuts, tolerances and wall thickness to provide the quality core you require.
Problems Addressed with PTS Film & Flexible Packaging Cores
Converters running film, foil, paper, or flexible packaging often face production challenges tied directly to core performance. Common issues include:
- Cores that deform under winding tension, causing telescoping or crushed edges.
- Rough or uneven ends that drag on shafts and slow changeovers.
- Seam gaps that transfer ridges into finished rolls.
- Inconsistent length tolerances that disrupt automated equipment.
- Limited customization options for specialty films or high speed lines.
PTS film and flexible packaging cores help eliminate these problems by providing consistent, high strength cores engineered for demanding converting environments.
Product Advantages
Film and flexible packaging operations require cores that support smooth, uniform winding and predictable performance. Key advantages include:
- Upgraded paper options for higher crush strength.
- Blade cut or deburred ends for smooth shaft loading.
- Tight length tolerances that support automated and high speed equipment.
- Reduced seam gaps for cleaner roll profiles and improved downstream performance.
- Customizable wall thicknesses, diameters, and paper grades for specific film types.
These features help converters maintain roll quality, reduce waste, and improve production efficiency.
Customization Options
Every converting line has unique requirements, and PTS provides tailored solutions to match them. Custom options include:
- Multiple paper grades for strength, stiffness, or flexibility.
- Custom diameters and wall thicknesses for film, foil, or paper applications.
- Precision cuts for improved fit and roll consistency.
- Specialty cores for stretch film, shrink film, protective films, and laminated structures.
- Branded or color coded exteriors for easy identification.
These options allow converters to specify exactly what they need for consistent, reliable performance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Types of Materials Can Be Wound on These Cores?
These cores are designed for film, foil, paper, flexible packaging materials, and other roll based substrates.
Can The Cores Be Customized for High Speed Equipment?
Yes. Paper grades, wall thicknesses, and length tolerances can be tailored to support high speed winding and automated changeovers.
Do You Offer Blade Cut Ends?
Yes. Blade cutting and deburring are available to improve shaft loading and ensure smooth operation.
How Do I Specify the Right Core?
Provide your film type, tension requirements, equipment details, and preferred dimensions, and the PTS team will help determine the correct paper grade, wall thickness, and tolerances.
