Carton sealing tape is available in two varieties, bubblewrapmanufacturer pressure sensitive and water activated. Pressure sensitive tape is typically made of PVC or Polypropylene backing with acrylic, hot melt or natural rubber adhesive. Pressure sensitive tape is relatively inexpensive, provides a good bond for many bubblewrapmanufacturer carton sealing applications and is easily applied with an inexpensive tape gun. Water activated tape is constructed of kraft paper backing and sometimes includes fiberglass reinforcement. Water activated tape requires a stationary dispenser containing water to dispense the tape and activate the adhesive, but forms a superior bond when applied to corrugated cartons. PRESSURE SENSITIVE TAPE Hot Melt Hot melt tape is also known as synthetic rubber and is typically manufactured with a polypropylene backing. Hot melt tape works well from 45-120 degrees, provides a good bond for most carton sealing applications and is the lowest cost pressure sensitive tape available. Hot melt will yellow with time, but will do so more slowly than natural rubber tape.

WATER ACTIVATED TAPE Water activated tape provides a bond to corrugated cartons that is second to none. Your heavy duty jobs are best handled by fiberglass reinforced tape, while lighter cartons are easily handled by the less expensive non-reinforced tape. Water activated tape is unaffected by heat, cold, light or humidity and works well in dusty and bubblewrapmanufacturer dirty environments. Water activated tape is recyclable and provides a strong, secure seal that cannot be broken without detection Steel is the strongest of all strapping materials. It is recommended where high strength is necessary, low elongation is important and where the product is extremely sharp or hot. Steel is sealed using mechanical seals and notch (sealless) joints. It is most commonly used in steel service centers, rail car applications and heavy construction applications.
