Choosing the right packaging tape depends on the application and the surface you're sealing. Antalis offers a variety of tapes to meet different needs, such as standard polypropylene tapes for general use, coloured tape for identification and marking, and printed warning tapes for safety alerts and handling instructions. Consider factors like adhesion strength, visibility, and whether the tape needs to withstand outdoor or high-stress environments.
The adhesive strength of packaging tapes varies depending on the material. Master’in PVC tape, for example, has a solvent-based natural rubber adhesive that provides extra cohesion, making it ideal for adhering to uneven surfaces. This makes it particularly strong for industrial applications or environments with varying surface textures. Whereas other tapes, like standard polypropylene tapes, offer excellent adhesion for lighter packaging applications.
Noise qualities play a key role in the usability of packaging tapes, especially in environments where noise reduction is important. Low noise tapes are available for office or warehouse settings where noise reduction is preferred. In contrast, other tapes might create more noise during application, which may not be desirable in workplaces requiring quieter operations.
