What are the different types of cores for thermal paper rolls

A thermal paper tube core is a core used to support and fix thermal paper rolls. Maintain the shape and stability of the paper roll so that the paper roll can print smoothly during work. Thermal paper rolls with tube cores can be easily disassembled and installed on machines and equipment, and the simple operation can save time in replacing paper rolls. It should be noted that the diameter and length of the tube core must match the machine equipment used. Otherwise, the paper roll will not fit into the printer. Next, this article will introduce what materials the thermal paper roll core is made of. What are the functions of different materials?

1. Plastic core

Plastic core refers to a tubular core material made of plastic. Plastic tube cores are widely used as core materials for printing, paper, roll products, etc. The plastic tube core is relatively light in weight, has good durability, is not easily deformed, and can be reused to reduce resource waste. Commonly used plastic tube core sizes are 13mmx17m and 15mmx17mm.

2. Paper core

A paper tube core is a tubular core material made of paper material. Paper tube core is widely used in packaging, printing, and other industries. The core of the paper tube mainly provides structural support, protects the paper roll from deformation and looseness, and facilitates the disassembly and use of the paper roll. And paper materials have good degradability, which is conducive to environmental protection and recycling. Commonly used paper tube core sizes are 13mmx19mm, 25mmx30mm, 40mmx44mm

3. Plastic square hole tube core

The plastic square hole tube core provides stable support through the structural features of the square hole. The tube core is made of plastic, which is relatively light and can withstand a certain amount of weight and pressure, keeping the overall product from deforming. Plastic materials can be recycled and reused, helping to protect the environment and resource waste. The disadvantage is that the cost of use is higher. Commonly used square hole tube core sizes are 12 mm x 22 mm.

4. Plastic honeycomb tube core

The plastic honeycomb tube core is plastic and adopts a honeycomb-like porous structure design. It can provide a certain degree of strength and rigidity, has good buffering and shock-absorbing functions, and can effectively protect the product from deformation. The plastic makes the tube core lighter and recyclable, protecting the environment and reducing resource waste. The disadvantage is that the cost of use is higher. Commonly used honeycomb tube sizes are 12 mm x 22 mm.

5. Plastic gear core

The plastic gear tube core is made of plastic and is designed by combining plastic gears and tubular core materials. The gear structure can provide structural support, protect the product's shape, and achieve force transmission by meshing between gears. Commonly used gear tube sizes are 12mmx22mm and 18mmx25mm.

6. Coreless paper roll

Tubeless paper rolls can save consumable costs, and the paper length can also be longer under the same size paper roll, which can be used longer and reduce the frequency of paper roll replacement.

In addition to the above tube cores, any size and color can be customized according to customer needs. If you have any questions about the tube core, please get in touch with our professionals.
