When a large amount of cartons need to be sealed in a short period of time, the use of an automated packing line obviously provides a time advantage. However, the high speed of the packaging line, limits the time for the adhesive tape to bond with the carton surface. It is therefore crucial that the adhesive offers very high immediate tack to ensure a reliable carton seal.

The ability to do so is determined by the tape’s immediate tack, which is particularly high with natural rubber adhesive tapes. Natural rubber adhesive features certain flowing properties, enabling it to penetrate deep into the cardboard and enclose its fibres rather than just wetting the surface. Thus, natural rubber adhesive tapes are the perfect choice for closing cartons in automated packing machines, both time-saving and reliable.

Natural rubber tapes are available with various carrier materials. Contact our team for further information and to help you find the best tape for your application.
