What is Packaging Tape?
Packaging tape is a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape specifically designed for sealing, wrapping, and securing parcels and boxes for storage or shipment. It is typically made from an array of materials, including polypropylene, PVC, and paper, each offering unique properties. Polypropylene tapes are known for their flexibility and strength, PVC tapes boast durability and noise-reduction qualities, and paper tapes are lauded for their eco-friendliness and recyclability.
The adhesive used in packaging tape is crucial to it’s functionality. There are mainly three types: acrylic, hot melt, and natural rubber. Acrylic adhesive tapes perform well in a wide range of temperatures and have a longer shelf life, making them ideal for long-term storage. Hot melt tapes offer strong, immediate adhesion and are suitable for heavy-duty packaging. Whereas natural rubber tapes provide the best adherence to different surfaces, including recycled and dusty boxes.
The packaging tape can be either clear or coloured, and is available in a range of widths, lengths, and thicknesses, catering to diverse packaging needs.
