Tape is considered one of the most important items for proper sealing of outer packaging of the items. But the matter of fact is that it is not just the safety the sealing tape is all about. Looks, features and unique uses of the sealing tapes make these tapes serving other purposes along with being a protection for the packages.
In this article, we are going to talk about different types of sealing tape.
Carton sealing tape is a straightforward and ideal option that you can consider for the sealing of corrugated boxes. This tape consists of a liner and a layer of adhesive coating. This tape is available in a variety of strengths, colors and sizes. This tape is reliable enough to meet every day shipping requirements.
While standard sealing tape does well in majority of situations, it fails to keep the packages sealed when the shipment has to pass through colder environments. The reason is that a standard sealing tape loss adhesion when temperature drops. In such situations, cold temperature tape can be of great use. It remains stuck to the surface it is attached to no matter how colder the environment gets. This tape is also beneficial in helping the better preservation of items which need to stay cool.
While cold temperature can cause a standard tape to lose adhesion, hot temperatures can cause the tape to melt quickly. In this scenario, one of the best options to consider is the use of high temperature tape which is made to withstand high temperatures. This tape is perfect for the sealing of packages that contain electronic or automobile parts.
Masking tape is useful for the creative project you are working on. This tape is also known as painter’s tape. A type of masking tape is the double-sided masking tape which has the ability to bring two materials together. This tape can also eliminate the need of glue. No matter what type of masking tape you are using, it is essentially easy to apply and remove.
Kraft water activated tape is the next-level tape when we compare it with standard packing tape. This tape works when it is wetted with water. It dries up and sticks to the surface quite strongly. Its adhesion is so strong that it requires tearing off for the package to be opened. And the tape is so resistant to tearing that you are going to need to have a sharp tool to tear the tape.
Custom packing tape is another option that can serve more than one purpose. This tape is undoubtedly quite reliable to give the boxes a good seal but what it’s known for is that it can actually help you promote your brand. You can get any type of message or brand logo printed to make the tape a source of advertisement.
