Our products

Gabbin produces custom paper tubes and cores for a variety of industries across Australia. All of our cores are made with FSC certified coreboard made from recycled paper (with the exception of some outer ply finishes), and are fully recyclable.

​

While we do keep some of our most popular lines in stock, the majority of our work is custom made to order. We have tooling to produce custom cores ranging from 12mm up to 450mm inside diameter (ID), and wall thicknesses are produced from 1.5 mm up to 13.5 mm. Our cores can be cut to lengths as short as 10mm depending on the specification.

Tape, Label and Paper Roll Cores

  • Standard sizes in stock or made-to-order.

  • Stick lengths in stock for many IDs and wall thicknesses, allowing fast turnaround times for non-standard lengths.

  • Gabbin has one of the largest automated core-cutting facilites in Australia, for smooth, burr-free, blade-cut cores with tight tolerances.

  • Available with printed inner or outer liner (for repeat orders, subject to minimum order quantities).

  • Medium, High and Extra-High density material available.

  • Superior quality and crush strength, with consistent OD (Outside Diameter).

  • Our drying facility enables us to over-dry cores, preventing shrinkage of cores post-delivery.

  • Available with different finishes such as white or full kraft outer ply or coloured stripes for identity.
