How to choose adhesive packing tape? - Bruneau

The adhesive tape roll, also known as magic tape, needs to have a high and constant quality during its use. Adhesive tape is available in different strengths and with different characteristics, from the most traditional models to the most technical uses, to correspond with the needs of all kinds of industries. The performances (adhesive power, resistance, quality) and the characteristics (respect for the environment, conformity) are specified by norms and are narrowly linked with the characteristics of the used material (polypropylene or PVC).

3.2 CHOOSE THE APPLICATION METHOD

In both automatic and manual use, the tape must always ensure the reinforcement and sealing of the cardboard boxes, until the package is with the end user or in accordance with the period that the box must be kept in the warehouse. The way in which the tape is applied largely determines how long the box will remain intact.

Sealing in L : this closing technique is adapted to light packaging. It is enough to tape the top of the box lengthwise, letting the ends of the tape extend over each edge.

Sealing in U : this closing technique is adapted to light packaging for transport over long distances or to heavier loads. In this technique, both the top and bottom are taped down the full length, letting the ends of the tape extend over each edge.

Combined sealing in U et and in L : this closing technique is adapted to the heaviest loads, for long transport. This is where you tape the tape both top and bottom along the full length of the flaps, and to ensure conservation, also tape the bottom and top edges of the box.

Sealing in H or reinforced in H : this closing technique is used in extreme conditions for transport. Here you apply the tape at the top and bottom over the full length and the 2 widths, to which you can optionally add 2 strips of reinforced adhesive tape crosswise for extra strength.

For a good seal and correct delivery of the products, it is necessary to choose an adjusted width of approximately 5 cm for the adhesive tape rolls. The larger the dimensions, the better the package is insured. In addition, it is also important to apply sufficient pressure to the tape along the full length of the box and to unroll the tape itself a few centimeters over each edge and adhere.

For optimum results, the adhesive tape rolls should be stored and used in a normal ambient temperature (between 15 and 30°C). They should be somewhat flexible, but be careful not to stretch the material too much. In addition, they must also resist sharp, and even cutting edges. Finally, you should also check the shelf life of the material before use. After all, the adhesive strength can decrease sharply over time.

The packaging must be clean and of good quality, free of dust, grease and moisture. After all, the adhesive strength can decrease by 30% when the cardboard is moist.

Finally, we recommend that you always pay close attention when choosing your cardboard boxes and your adhesive tape. The nature of the material is determined by the specific conditions it must meet. In this way you can always be sure that the sealing and integrity of the boxes are maintained for the desired period, even in extreme climatic conditions or in the event of a fall (in that case opt for reinforced adhesive tape).

4 - Vocabulary

Dilute alkalis : Dilute solution of ammonia, used for chores and maintenance.

Dispenser : device to which the tape rolls should be attached, so that the tape can be unrolled faster and easier.

Polypropylene (PP) : plastic material, made of propylene. It can be easily recycled. Adhesive tape in polypropylene has a high insulating effect, is strong and cannot be torn.

Reinforced polypropylene (reinforced PP) : adhesive tape in which the armature consists of crossed glass fibres, for a strong adhesive force. The tape cannot be torn in length or in width.

UV : ultraviolet radiation from both natural and artificial light sources.
