What is the difference between a reel and a coil of plastic strapping?
Reels have plastic moulded sides, sometimes spoked, and are generally used for hand tool grade plastic straps. Cores are cardboard tubes onto which all machine grades and a few handtool grade plastic straps are wound. Popular core sizes are 200mmID x 150mm width, 200mmm ID x 190 mm width, 280mm ID x 190mm width, and 406mm ID x 150mm width.
