Tape Types
Explained
Selecting the correct type of tape is crucial to ensure the safe and secure
transport of your products and can help maintain the sustainability pro昀椀le of
your business. Paper Tape and Polypropylene Tape are the most common types
of tape used in packaging, with numerous additional options available that
provide optimal performance for speci昀椀c applications.
Paper
Paper Tape, also known as Kraft Tape, is a paper-based option that’s
biodegradable and environmentally friendly. It can be easily torn by hand and
is commonly used for sealing cartons and packages. The tape can remain
adhered to boxes after use, making waste management processes far simpler
and is a great alternative in reducing our reliance on virgin plastic tapes. A
recent innovation has been reinforced paper tape that is suitable for heavyduty applications, which features specially integrated strengthening strands to
provide maximum carton security and tape ef昀椀ciency.
Polypropylene
Mainly used in industrial settings that require heavy-duty packaging,
polypropylene tape is made from synthetic material, often making it sturdier
and more durable than paper tape. The use of plastic also means the tape is
resistant to tearing, moisture and abrasion, making it suitable for use in harsh
environments. Polypropylene Tape is also available in a range of thicknesses
and has a synthetic adhesive that is intended to stick to various surfaces,
including plastic, metal and cardboard.
