From fine, food-grade paper to wall coverings, paper manufacturers around the world trust each roll to a pair of small, pressed wood plugs designed to prevent impact or compression damage during shipping. Souhegan Wood Products has been molding smooth, flake-free core plugs out of recycled waste wood fibers since the 1950s.
In the early 1980s we upped the ante and began manufacturing the CorSaver™ plug, which became a vital asset to major paper companies in the USA with its crush strength of 10,000 lbs. We’ve since expanded our offerings to include 3 1⁄16″ and 4 1⁄16″ molded Center Hole core plugs, which boast crush strengths of 2,300 – 5,000 lbs in a HQ5.5 core.
