Did You Know?
The type of packaging tape you choose could have a significant impact on the safety and security of your shipped items? With so many different types of tape available, it can be challenging to know which one is right for your needs.
Below, we dive deeper into the differences between Acrylic, Hot Melt, and Rubber tape, so you can make an informed decision for your packaging needs.
- Much lower price
- For lighter cartons and parcels
- Ideal for low-temperature environments
If you are looking for the cheapest option acrylic tape is it.
Our range offers a 28 micron polypropylene tape that meets the mark for general packaging and carton sealing applications - at a much lower price.
It is ideal for lighter cartons and parcels and its water base acrylic adhesive makes it ideal for low-temperature environments.
- Great for storage and transit
- Excellent and cost-effective alternative to natural rubber
- Ideal for recycled boxes
Hot melt adhesive tape is offered in a 28 micron polypropylene that offers great strength during storage and transit.
The synthetic rubber adhesive provides an excellent and cost-effective alternative to natural rubber.
This tape has high initial tack and excellent tensile strength that is ideal for recycled boxes that are used for shipping or storage.
- Instant tack and aggressive bond
- Single strip carton sealing
- Works on all carton types including recycled
Rubber adhesive tape is the oldest type of tape. It is made from natural ingredients giving it the ability to have an instant tack and aggressive bond. This means when used it is quick to stick and once stuck it will stay.
Our range offers a 28 and 40 micron tape that offers excellent tensile strength for single strip carton sealing. This tape can be used on all carton types including recycled. Its superior holding strength helps keep cartons fastened tight until they arrive at their final destination.
