Pressure sensitive carton sealing tapes are available in a large assortment of styles, sizes and brands to meet a wide variety of consumer and industrial needs, with a choice of economy, industrial or high-performance tapes in both machine and hand-held lengths.
Water-activated or “gummed” paper tape is used primarily for sealing corrugated cartons, also working well on recycled cartons and uneven loads. By moistening tape before application, the adhesive improves security by adding an aggressive, permanent seal and strength to the package.
Message tapes convey specific directions or warnings for sealed cartons. Messages may communicate instructions for proper handling or important information about carton contents, e.g. “Fragile” or “Packing List Enclosed.”
