Actually. I've lost more thread to cardboard than plastic... as soon as the
smallest tear appears on the cardboard , it snags thread. I also found that
I can keep the plastics cleaner and can wash them between threads... the
cardboard absorbs skin oils and whatnot..
Guess that's why there is a market for both, huh??
Be good to yourself...
