Paper tape - ecology first

Ecological tapes, used, among other things, for packaging shipments or joining elements, are adhesive tapes made from recyclable materials. Increasingly, customers placing orders in online stores specifically request eco-friendly packaging. Find out why it's worth offering them!

What are paper packaging tapes?

Paper packaging tapes are tapes produced from environmentally friendly, easily recyclable materials. Their production most often uses durable – even under heavy loads, light-proof Kraft paper or Silco paper and – as an adhesive layer – an emulsion based on synthetic rubber for tapes coated with hot-melt adhesive or an emulsion based on natural rubber for tapes coated with solvent adhesive. Packaging tapes are available in many variants regarding their parameters. They differ not only in the type of paper or adhesive, but also in:

• width (15, 19, 25, 30, 38, 48, 50, 60, 75, 100, 150 mm),
• color (white, brown),
• total thickness,
• tensile strength,
• operating temperature (-20°C – 60°C).

Ecological tapes, thanks to their properties, are perfectly suited for packaging parcels of various weights and sizes, as well as for sealing, closing, or labeling.

It is worth knowing that paper tapes are also used for technological joints in the production process.

Ecological tapes vs. foil tapes

What particularly distinguishes paper tapes is their recyclability. Additionally, the aforementioned adhesive emulsion does not contain solvents dangerous to the natural environment. Another advantage of ecological tapes is the specifics of their surface – you can easily write on them, which makes them a convenient solution with wide application. Paper tapes are a modern, economical, highly aesthetic solution that allows you to create an image of an environmentally friendly company, which is of great importance to an increasing number of customers.
