Wave-Core™ Provides Flexible Protection That Significantly Reduces Handling Damage
Whether its a manufacturer of sensitive films used in aerospace or delicate fiber optic cables, transporting these highly valuable materials to their end destination without damage is a mission all its own. For our aerospace films customer, their main challenge was the international destination where the film would be applied. Any damage during the journey caused loss in valuable product and weeks in transit time, plus numerous delays for the final product. The additional transportation challenge for customers, was the size and scale of the rolled product, and the need for tightly wrapped protection.

Both facings seamlessly flex, roll, and bend without needing additional steps such as scoring for a tighter fit and smooth finish.
