Pressure Sensitive Carton Sealing Tape
Pressure sensitive carton sealing tape comes in the 3 most common adhesive types, which are acrylic, hotmelt rubber, and natural rubber based.
Acrylic adhesive carton sealing tape is best for low temperature application, has firm unwind, excellent aging and clarity, excellent quick tack to box, is printable and UV resistant.
Hot melt adhesive carton sealing tape has strong tack, high bonding, good aging, consistent unwind, is good for machine application, and is moisture resistant.
Natural rubber carton sealing tape offers fast positive bonding on problem applications such as high-recycled content cartons, rough or ultra-smooth cartons, heavy ink coverage, dusty and/or dirty environments, humid conditions, and temperature extremes. It also has moisture resistance and firm unwind.
Water Activated Paper tape is an all-purpose sealing tape made from a single piece of kraft paper coated with a flexible layer of water-soluble adhesive. Reinforced gummed tape provides the fastest and most secure way to close boxes and protect the contents. Extra strong fiberglass yarns are bonded between the high tensile strength sheets for an extra measure of strength.
