Clean opening at high speed
Tear tape is a narrow plastic film with a pressure-sensitive adhesive that bonds to the inside of the BOPP or cellophane overwrap. Its tensile strength, adhesive tack and thickness determine whether the tape opens the film in one stroke or snaps. The tapes we supply are specified for wrappers running 150 to 400 packs per minute and tested for adhesion on the films we offer.
Plain, coloured, printed and secure
Options:
- Transparent tape for an invisible opening feature.
- Coloured tape in red, gold, black and other colours as a brand element.
- Printed tape with brand name, promotional text or codes.
- Holographic and covert-feature tape for anti-counterfeit programmes.
Reels and compatibility
Tape is supplied on reels of several thousand metres with cores suited to your wrapper's tape unit. We confirm compatibility with your overwrap film and the sealing settings of your wrapper before the first order, and we can deliver film and tape together.
