Coreless winding of paper and materials
Coreless winding prepares paper and selected paper materials in rolls without an inner tube. It is intended for processes where a core is not needed and where roll diameter, width and ease of use are the key requirements.
When to choose coreless winding?
- when the roll will not be mounted on a shaft requiring a core,
- for manual use at workstations,
- when preparing smaller rolls from larger reels,
- when reducing packaging components is important,
- for packing, logistics and further converting.
Applications of coreless winding
| Application | Example use | Key benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Manual packing | paper rolls for wrapping products | no core simplifies material access |
| Void fill automation | paper shreds and fill in rolls | compact form for packing machines |
| Surface protection | protective rolls for floors and benches | quick unwinding without core |
| Converting | preparation for further slitting/converting | less waste, no tubes to dispose |
| E-commerce | material rolls for packing stations | space-saving storage |
Coreless winding versus other services
| Service | When to choose | Main function |
|---|---|---|
| Coreless Winding | no core required | compact roll without tube |
| Core Winding | roll needs core for shaft/unwind stand | roll preparation with inner tube |
| Slitting | material width must change | division into narrower strips/rolls |
| Rewinding | length, diameter or winding direction must change | new winding preparation |
| Paper Converting | multiple operations needed | preparation for direct use |
Key parameters for coreless rolls
| Parameter | Defines |
|---|---|
| Material type | determines if stable coreless winding is possible |
| Roll width | match to product, workstation or machine |
| Roll diameter | material amount and handling convenience |
| Winding length or weight | size of individual roll |
| Winding tolerance | repeatability of finished rolls |
| Winding direction | material feed direction in process |
| Packing | protection against deformation and contamination |
How to request a quotation?
Provide material type, grammage or thickness, input and finished width, required roll diameter, winding length or weight, quantity, tolerances, packing method and intended use.
If you also need to change material width, specify input and finished widths so coreless winding can be combined with slitting. For changes in length, diameter or winding direction, rewinding can be used.
Coreless Winding — FAQ
Can coreless winding prepare smaller rolls from a larger reel?
Yes. Finished roll parameters are agreed based on input material and further application.
Can coreless winding be combined with slitting?
Yes. Slitting establishes the required width, then coreless winding prepares compact rolls without tubes.
Are coreless rolls less stable?
Stability depends on material type, stiffness, thickness and winding parameters. With proper parameters, coreless rolls are fully stable and ready for use.
