Tape and Label Core Specifications
Our tape and label cores are constructed from spiral wound blade cut cores up to 12” in diameter. Build material is first run product to ensure that your tape cores maintain their integrity under the harshest of conditions. Tape & label cores can have a silicone release added to them so your tape does not stick to the kraft outside paper. Outer surfaces may also be waxed or printed with your company logo. Cores may be .192” to 636” long and may have wall thicknesses ranging from .024” to .750”. Depending on dimensions, tolerances may be as precise as ± .010”.
Compression and flat crush tests, as well as production inspection, electronic quality data entry ensures that our cores are of the highest quality and strength. We welcome orders of small or large volumes, and always place a priority on fast lead times, which average between 3 days. Take advantage of what we have to offer today, and choose Western Container for tape and label cores.
