When it comes to wire and cable packaging, durability and eco-friendliness are often at the top of the list. The ONEREEL Plastic Spool with Paper Tube is designed to combine both features in one product. It integrates a rigid plastic flange with a recyclable paper core, creating a lightweight yet strong spool ideal for a wide range of winding applications. This innovative design not only improves efficiency in cable storage but also reduces environmental impact through partial biodegradability.

Design and Structure

The unique structure of  ONEREEL’s Plastic Spool with Paper Tube combines the strength of plastic and the sustainability of paper. The flanges are made from high-quality injection-molded plastic that resists cracking and impact, while the paper tube is manufactured from compressed, high-density kraft paper. This makes the spool lighter than full plastic models but just as reliable. Moreover, the paper tube can be replaced or recycled after use, offering a longer overall service life.
