Paper Tube Terms
– A package comprised
of a body with two ends made from a variety of materials and available
in many shapes and sizes. The container body is made from paper, various
liner materials to achieve barrier requirements and a printed label for
package graphics.
– The fluted
middle portion of a corrugated box or tube that is made from paperboard
and typically produced on a Fourdrinier
machine as a single layer, using varying combinations of virgin and recycled
fibers.
– The paperboard produced from recycled fibers
on a cylinder machine consisting of multiple plies that are bonded together
in the papermaking process.
– A rigid metal,
film, plastic or paper structure that is mechanically attached to the
end of a package or a layered plastic
film, foil or paper membrane heat-sealed to the end of a rigid package.
– Tubes and cores of paper or plastic that
serve as product carriers for film, paper, tape, textiles, metal and
more. The carriers are highly engineered to permit take-up of these
materials at extreme speeds.
– A composite material made from compressed wood fibers
and glue.
– A machine divided into a wet end, a press
section, a drier section and, typically—but not always—a
calendar section that is employed in the manufacture of all grades of
paper and board.
– A coarse paper made from a type of chemical wood
pulp, whose color is dark brown but may be bleached to lighter shades
of cream. Taking its name from the German word for “strong,” this
paper is typically used for wrapping and packaging.
– The core elongated mold around which resin-impregnated
fiber, paper, fabric, tape or filaments are wound to form pipes, tubes
or structural shell shapes.
– A flexible material attached to the end of a
rigid package with a peelable heat seal. This material can be a
coax plastic film or a layering of plastic film, foil or paper with a
heat-seal coating.
– A subdivision of paper that is generally heavier in
basis weight, thicker and more rigid than paper. All sheets of 12 points
(0.012”) or more in thickness are considered paperboard with some
exceptions, such as blotting papers, felts and drawing paper in excess
of 12 points, while some corrugating medium, chipboard and linerboard
of less than 12 points are still categorized as paperboard.
– Paper and paper derivatives separated, removed
or diverted from solid waste disposal for the purpose of sale, use, reuse
or recycling, whether or not such material necessitates further separation
and processing.
– The process in which cut ribbon of cardboard,
coated with adhesive is wrapped in a helix pattern around a set round
mandrel to produce spiral wound paper tubes. It’s done at
an angle that will produce a continual flow of product that can be cut
to any specification.
