Plastic Tube Core Protector (Customization is available)
What is a Plastic Tube Core Protector?
A plastic tube core protector is a durable, reusable insert designed to protect the edges and inner walls of plastic, cardboard, or composite cores used in winding films, tapes, textiles, and industrial materials. It prevents crushing, deformation, and contamination, ensuring the core remains intact and reusable during handling, transport, and storage.
- Key Features & Benefits
