Will REELEX work for you?
REELEX coils do not require internal components, making the packaging simpler and less expensive. Compared to spools and reels requiring multiple components and assembly, REELEX coils can be placed into a container. REELEX costs up to 40% less than equivalent packaging.
Compared with other packaging methods, REELEX allows the greatest opportunity to use recyclable, reusable, compostable, and reclaimed materials. Compost it, recycle it, or sell it. When you use REELEX, you have disposal choices beyond just the dumpster.
Worried about job site waste volume? Because spools and reels rarely get broken down before disposal, their volume is enormous compared to their weight. Empty REELEX packages take up to 39% less volume when broken down as comparable spools.
Compared to using reels and spools, up to 30% savings in contractor labor can be achieved just by using REELEX. This translates to faster, easier installation jobs, and significant cost savings for the contractor.
The REELEX coil can be placed into a variety of containers, but is typically packaged in a cardboard box. Boxes are inherently excellent package options, as they are customizable, stack easily and can be broken down flat for disposal. They are also made from one of the most recycled materials on earth: paper.
Once the REELEX coil has completed winding on the REELEX machine, the payout tube is inserted into the hole in the coil, the inside end of the product is threaded through the tube for access, and the finished coil is placed into a package.
The REELEX trademark logo is required on all genuine REELEX packages, though it does sometime get left off the package. The logo signifies that the package is genuine and will dispense as expected: tangle-free, twist-free,
and without product damage.
Every package needs a payout tube to dispense smoothly. The purpose of the payout tube is to ensure the opposing twists of the figure-eight resolve themselves inside the coil rather than outside. The diameter and length of the tube must be carefully considered to manage bend radiuses inside the coil, thus ensuring smooth payout.

When designing the new REELEX AIR payout tube, we focused on the essential functional component of the tube – where the product enters. We improved everything that was needed and removed everything that wasn’t.
The REELEX Air uses significantly less plastic and requires smaller cardboard boxes to pack the same amount of wire or cable. In addition to being more sustainable, it’s less material to clean up on job sites
REELEX AIR’s design features include a smooth, rounded entry, which reduces friction and increases the bend radius of the product as it exits the package, and an I-beam design, which supports product loops and prevents them from prematurely unraveling. These features offer a smoother pulling “feel” and lower incidences of unwanted unraveling in products with an inherent twist.
