Paper Cores





Paper cores are an industrial by-product that is as strong as wood and lightweight. By spinning a strip of paper dipped in glue, a paper cylinder of desired thickness and length can be made. Materials such as carpet, fabric and plastic come in rolls where the core is a paper cylinder. Paper cores are made of recycled paper, have stable qualities and are highly durable.

1. The structural strength of paper tubes varies according to their moisture contents and molding methods. But it is generally believed to be less than half the strength of wood or bamboo.

2. Since paper tubes are industrial products, their qualities can be easily controlled. They have many merits as structural materials. For example, they do not crack and can be processed into any length or thickness.

3. The sections of paper tubes are always flat. We cannot crush the ends of paper tubes like steel pipes in order to make them thin. So they must be carefully joined together.
