Packing tape has a wide range of applications, from domestic packing to industrial shipping. Packing tape is a widely used packaging material designed to speed up packing processes and ensure security.

Hot-melt Packaging Tape

Hot-melt packing tape is a type of adhesive tape generally used for sealing cardboard boxes and securing parcels. ‘Hotmelt’ refers to a type of adhesive technology; the heat-activated adhesive (hotmelt) is the key component that gives the tape its adhesive properties. It is a type of adhesive that melts at high temperatures and bonds quickly to the surface to which it is applied.

Hot-melt packing tapes are generally made from durable plastic materials such as polypropylene or polyester. Thanks to their adhesive layer, which melts at high temperatures, these tapes bond quickly and form a strong bond. This characteristic makes them the preferred choice, particularly for industrial applications and the transport of heavy loads.

The quick-bonding properties of hot-melt tapes speed up the packaging process and ensure that parcels are securely fastened. Their robust construction ensures durability during transit and prevents parcels from coming apart or being damaged.

Hot-melt tapes are generally preferred in the industrial and logistics sectors, particularly for the palletising and transport of heavy loads. Their durability and rapid adhesion make them ideal for use in high-volume, fast-paced environments.

General Features

• Adhesive Strength: Hot-melt tapes generally have high adhesive strength. These tapes provide a secure bond for sealing and transporting cardboard boxes.
• Durability: Hot-melt tapes designed for industrial use are generally durable. They do not suffer from problems such as breaking or tearing during transport.
• Heat Activation: Hot-melt tapes contain adhesives that are heat-activated. Their adhesive properties improve when exposed to heat.
• Long Service Life: These types of tapes can generally withstand long periods of storage. When stored under suitable conditions, they can retain their adhesive properties for a long time.
• Resistance to Environmental Conditions: Some hot-melt tapes may be capable of withstanding damp environments or external factors.
• Flexibility: Hot-melt tapes generally have a flexible structure and can be easily applied to different surfaces.
• Various Sizes and Colours: They are available in a range of widths, lengths and colours. This provides variety to meet different packaging requirements.
• Customisation: Hot-melt tapes are suitable for printing. They can be printed on to highlight your brand identity.

Acrylic Tape

Acrylic packing tape is a type of adhesive tape commonly used to seal cardboard boxes and secure parcels. Acrylic packing tapes contain an acrylic-based adhesive layer.

These tapes are usually available in transparent, brown or white. Acrylic packing tapes are generally strong and durable. Thanks to their resistance to UV rays, they may also be suitable for outdoor use.

Acrylic tapes generally adhere through cold application, meaning they retain their adhesive properties without the influence of temperature. These tapes are often suitable for office, warehouse or light industrial use. They may also be designed for use in situations requiring long-term storage.

General Features

• Adhesive Strength: It has average adhesive strength and is generally suitable for standard use.
• Flexibility: It can have a flexible structure, which makes it easier to apply to different surfaces.
• Environmental Resistance: Some acrylic tapes may be resistant to UV rays and are suitable for outdoor use.
• Ease of Removal: Acrylic tapes are generally easy to remove from the surface to which they are applied; they do not leave marks or tend to leave behind any adhesive residue.
• Various Applications: It is generally designed for use in office environments or for standard packaging operations.
• Acrylic packing tapes are generally preferred for standard everyday use or light packaging tasks. Acrylic packing tapes are water-resistant.

Areas of Application

• Offices and Home Users: Acrylic tapes are widely used for packaging tasks at home or in the office. They are a popular choice for small-scale packaging jobs at home or for sealing documents and parcels in the office.
• Retail Shops: In the retail sector, acrylic tapes are used for wrapping and packaging products. They can be useful both in-store and for warehouse operations.
