Western Container has upgraded their offerings to include precise strapping cores cut in-line with their new Multi-knife Winder/Cutter. Precise lengths are controlled by having multiple knife holders where material is cut in-line between these servo driven knife holders. Accuracy is paramount on this new machine with in-line cutting tolerances of .020, for the most stringent of applications.

Current cutting mandrels include 3", 6", 7.91, 8" & 9.71"
Most cost-efficient in-line cutting within the industry
Quick turnaround on all orders with most being completed within 2-5 days
Eliminates the re-cutting process which decreases production time and overall cost

Design Options Tailored to Performance Requirements

Each tube is configured according to diameter, wall structure, and length requirements. Wall thickness can be selected to match load expectations, winding tension, or stacking conditions. Printing options are available for identification, branding, or color coding, with the ability to apply multi color graphics when needed. This flexibility allows the tube to be matched to both mechanical and operational constraints.

Production Capabilities and Lead Times

Industrial tubes are produced using spiral wound construction with controlled adhesive application and monitored tension. Lead times typically range from two to five days depending on configuration and volume. This workflow supports both prototype quantities and high volume orders while maintaining dimensional consistency across repeat shipments.

Support Services and Identification Options

Additional services include commercial printing, label application, and integration with customer inventory systems. Tubes can be produced with custom colors, printed logos, or identification marks to support internal tracking or downstream processing. These options help streamline handling in manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution environments.

Applications Across Multiple Industries

Industrial paper tubes are used in packaging, coatings, tape and label production, film manufacturing, textiles, automotive components, and non woven materials. They serve as winding cores, protective sleeves, spacers, mandrels, and structural elements in a variety of production workflows. Their dimensional range and material options make them adaptable to both automated and manual processes.

FAQ

How Are Industrial Paper Tubes Sized for Specific Applications?

Tube dimensions are selected based on the product being packaged or wound, the required rigidity, and the equipment used in the process. Diameter, wall thickness, and length are adjusted to match load conditions and handling requirements.

What Advantages Does In Line Cutting Provide?

In line cutting produces consistent lengths without secondary trimming, reducing production time and improving accuracy. This method supports tight tolerances and is well suited for strapping cores and high volume orders.

Can Industrial Tubes Include Printed Identification or Branding?

Yes. Tubes can be produced with one color or multi color printing, allowing for logos, color coding, or product identification. Printing is applied during manufacturing to maintain alignment and consistency.

Which Industries Commonly Use Industrial Paper Tubes?

These tubes are used in packaging, textiles, film converting, coatings, automotive, and non woven material processing. They function as winding cores, sleeves, spacers, and protective components.
