5 Main Uses of Plastic Reels

The plastic reels made at Anderson Forest Products are lightweight and durable packing alternative to wooden and plywood reels. The top five industries that use plastic reels are:

• Industrial and residential wire manufacturers
• Low-voltage outdoor wire manufacturers
• Telecommunications manufacturers
• Ribbon and tape manufacturers
• Monofilament manufacturers

The plastic reels we produce consist of plastic flanges and either paper or plastic cores. The flange diameter can range from 6 ½” to 24”. The spiral-wound paper cores we use are produced in-house, so we can make sure the wall thickness is adequate for the customers’ needs. We have the capacity to produce paper cores from 1.5” to 14” in diameter with wall thickness from 1/10” to 5/8”. The high quality of these paper tubes makes our plastic reels a strong but lightweight alternative to wooden or plywood reels.

Industrial and Residential Wire Manufacturers

Our customers in the industrial and residential wire industries find that our plastic reels are suitable for both bare and insulated wire. Low voltage outdoor wire used for landscaping can also be wound on our plastic reels.

Telecommunications manufacturers

Telecommunications industry customers use plastic reels for fiber optic cable, connectors, and conduits. Plastic reels are necessary in the ribbon and tape industries since they can come in so many different sizes. Monofilament fishing line and medical monofilament for diabetes testing are also wound on plastic reels.
