It is good query Mary !
First of all, cardboard bobbins are cheap and it is a good way of recycling a
throw away product. Cardboard is soft and is therefore "friendlier" to the
thread - there is less stress produced in the winding process - the aging of a
cardboard bobbin is of course limited - much is dependent on the thickness
and durability of the cardboard.
and how it gets treated by its owner.

<< Hello All:
As insignificant as this topic may seem, I am curious as to why some of you
prefer the cardboard bobbins over the plastic ones. I have tried both and
disliked the cardboard ones so much, that I rewound those onto plastic. I
use
the DMC adhesive labels as my method of labeling, although I used to do what
Joanie does, cut the DMC/Anchor label and tape it onto the bobbin. I found
the cardboard ones fall apart and don't look nice after a short while, but
maybe I'm just too hard on them.
