Kraft Adhesive Tape Is A Great Option For Packaging

Kraft adhesive tape is a great option for packaging. Made from recycled kraft paper, this tape offers strong, tamper-proof adhesion and is recyclable. The pressure-sensitive adhesive requires a little bit of pressure to activate, but it won't damage the surface of the package.

This tape is available in brown and is smooth to the touch. Its tensile strength is high, making it ideal for packaging and handcrafting. The tape is a great choice for sealing light to medium cartons. You can even write on it, which makes it perfect for writing labels. This tape also looks professional and clean.

Kraft paper is a strong, smooth type of paper. Kraft paper tapes contain a pressure-sensitive adhesive. The type of glue that is used depends on the type of application and end-use, but the most common types are water-activated hot melt, and acrylic-based. The adhesive is strong enough to withstand bumps and jars and is ideal for shipping.

Water-activated tape is produced by extrusion lamination of an outermost film layer to a paper backing. The backing can be any type of paper, Kraft paper is preferred, but any type will work. This type of tape may also have a lamination layer.

Water-activated paper tapes are more cost-effective than conventional carton-sealing tapes. The water-activated paper tapes have uniform puncture properties, which reduces the total cost of the packaging. In addition, they are thinner than conventional carton sealing tapes and offer more length for the same diameter of the rolls. This reduces the need for frequent roll changes on applicating equipment.

Water-activated tapes are also easily torn by hand. They are available in economy and light-duty grade grades. In addition, they are manufactured with starch-based adhesive. The three trial film laminated water-activated tapes are similar in weight and adhesive layers, but the three tapes have different tear initiation strengths. A higher Finch Tear value indicates that the tapes can withstand a range of forces.

Plastic films have also been added to these tapes. They are applied as a layer to a paper backing to carry a water-activated adhesive. The water-activated adhesive can be applied to the paper backing without affecting its performance. This method has been widely used in the packaging industry for more than a decade. In addition to paper, plastic film adhesives can be used as a barrier between packaging and the environment.
