MATERIALS & ADHESIVES
A great all rounder for all sealing needs, suitable for securing cartons before shipping or storing. A strong tear resistant tape for use with a dispenser, as it cannot be hand torn. Available with Acrylic, Hot-Melt, Low-Noise or Solvent adhesive dependant on the application.
A strong tape with high resistance to extreme temperatures and moisture. Excellent for securing heavier boxes. A high-tack, low-noise release tape allowing it to be hand torn or used with a dispenser.
GUMMED PAPER
An environmentally friendly choice. Made from paper with a strong adhesive. Kraft paper tape creates a bond with cardboard allowing them to be recycled together.
The natural adhesive on the tape is activated with water; creating a strong bond with carboard as the adhesive soaks into the b oard. It is recyclable with the box, biodegrades and is tamper evident. A specialist tape dispenser is required for this tape (which we can provide).
REINFORCED PAPER RPET BIOTAPE
The Paper comprises cross weave glass fibre filaments for extra security and strength. Available in both Gummed and adhesive.
A PET tape that offers 70% or 85% recycled content. High tack performance on cartons. Exempt for plastic packaging tax.

PP / POLYPROPYLENE PVC / VINYL KRAFT PAPER
MATERIALS & ADHESIVES
SOLVENT
This aggressive adhesive instantly bonds and sticks to all surfaces. Suitable for almost all situations, especially where others may fail (like freezers).. Once applied this adhesive will stick permanently.
ACRYLIC / LOW NOISE HOT MELT
This adhesive is produced using water-based (solvent-free) adhesive acrylic. Resistant to ultraviolet rays and high temperatures. Low / Noise - cohesive. Standard Acrylic - more adhesive of the two.
GUMMED
Hot melt adhesive liquefies when heated and is applied using a hand held or manual applicator. The adhesive is pressure sensitive. It creates a long term bond which is great for heavier cartons and colder conditions.
The natural adhesive on the tape is activated with water; creating a strong bond with carboard as the adhesive soaks into the board. It is recyclable with the box, biodegrades and is tamper evident. A specialist tape dispenser is required for this tape (which we can provide).
