Choosing a Type of Packaging Tape
There are three main types of packaging tape: pressure-sensitive tapes, water-activated tapes (wat), and strapping tapes. Choosing the right tape will make all the difference. You will also want to consider how the tape will be applied and the conditions of your environment.
Factors to Consider when choosing a packing tape:
- Will your tape be applied manually or do you have an automated case sealing application?
- Will your tape be applied in a refrigerated or unconditioned space?
- Do you need a tape that performs well in high humidity or dusty environments?
- Does your application require compliance with certain standards or regulations?
