Key considerations for choosing label core manufacturers: How Stell manufactures the best label cores. 

When you choose the manufacturer for your label cores, you must be mindful of several key considerations, to ensure the cores are sustainable, strong, and produced to your exact specifications.

Discover how we make this happen, and trust Stell to deliver. 

Consideration 1: Durability of Cores 

Label cores must always remain durable, especially when winding labels onto the cores themselves. 

Stell’s solution: Our cores are extremely durable and created with excellent crush strength. This avoids reel collapse and expensive scrappage in our customers’ down-stream processes. 

Consideration 2: Consistency in core length, diameter, and wall thickness 

Label cores for your business must remain consistent throughout the production run, across their length, diameter, and wall thickness, to ensure neat and flush edges, no substrate overhang, consistent winding tensions and minimum conversion wrapping or losses.   

Stell’s solution: Our expert team perform rigorous quality checks at all stages of the production line, this ensures orders of any size core have consistent length, diameter, and wall thickness throughout the run. This creates a uniform, and exact order using your specifications.
