Light-duty Reel Wraps

CLOSED-CELL FOAM

Foam is lightweight and inexpensive but provides cushion and protection against impact events.

KRAFT SINGLE-FACE

An inexpensive way to protect your reels from light impact events. Primarily used on in-process reels.

POLY-COATED LINERBOARD

Linerboard offers a slight bit of impact protection but is more commonly used to give a finished look to the reel. The poly-coating on the outside helps it withstand rain during transit.

PRINTABLE XF FILM

A very durable extruded plastic film known for it’s tear strength. Offers no impact protection but gives the reel a finished look.

WOVEN SCRIM

Similar to XF but not quite as rigid. Gives reels a nice finished look and helps keep rain and dust off the cable.

THERMAL WRAP

Thermal wrap is designed to keep heat away from the cable.

Protective Reel Wraps

SINGLE-FACE PLASTIC

Available in 110lb, 150lb, and 200lb, this polyethylene wrap is extremely flexible
