Core Plugs

Litco Core Plugs

Superior Roll Protection Against Crush and Side Impact Damage

A crushed product roll can cause financial losses and operational challenges for manufacturers. Our Inca-brand Engineered Molded Wood™ core plugs are sustainably designed for superior crush and side-impact resistance, providing cost-effective protection at a nominal cost per roll. Engineered specifically for manufacturers and converters of paper, plastic film and metallic foils, these plugs are made from a unique blend of hardwood and softwood combined with resin under high heat and pressure. This process results in superior density and crush resistance, exceeding industry standards. Count on Inca core plugs for unmatched durability and reliability.
