COMPRESSED WOOD CORE PLUGS

Converted materials such as paper, foil, plastic films, and textiles are routinely rolled.  Because of their heavy weight, however, such rolls require special solutions to prevent core failure during shipment and storage.

Addressing a need in the market for stronger roll protection solutions, RIPS Plug now offers core plugs made from High-Density Compressed Wood Chips.  This tougher material protects large, heavy rolls in demanding applications.

High-Density Compressed Wood Plugs can be custom made to virtually any size above 3” outside diameter with a thickness of 2-3/16”. Optional center holes are also available to handle and ease in fixing these plugs.

As the India’s largest provider of roll suspension and protection solutions, RIPS Plug can quickly and cost-effectively produce these High-Density Compressed Wood Core Plugs at our manufacturing facilities in India.  The smooth, durable surface of Inca core plugs ensures safe insertion into rolling cores and easy removal for reuse.  Compressed wood core plugs are cost-effective alternatives to molded plastic, MDF, and plywood composite core protection plugs.
