Machine Tape – Long-Length Case Sealing Tape for Auto Lines | Pack Exact

Machine Tape

Long-length machine tape for automatic and semi-automatic case sealers. Achieve consistent, high-speed carton closure with fewer roll changes, strong adhesion and clean presentation on cardboard boxes.

Build a resilient pack with right-size boxes, internal bubble or paper, and edge protection. Hand sealing too? See Brown Tape and Clear Tape.

Why choose machine tape?

Optimised for case sealers, machine tape improves throughput and seal consistency while reducing changeover downtime. Available with hot-melt for fast grab on recycled board or acrylic for clean, temperature-stable performance.

Its consistent unwind, strong tack and abrasion resistance make it ideal for busy eCommerce, 3PL and manufacturing lines.

Sizes we stock

Common widths and long-length rolls for fewer stoppages:

  • 48mm × 990m
  • 50mm × 990m
  • 75mm × 990m
  • Selected lines also in 1500m for extended runs

Standard 76mm (3") cores for compatibility with most case sealer heads.

Automated case sealing

Designed for uniform cartons on auto/semi-auto sealers. Dial tension and wipe-down rollers for a flat, secure bond on single or double wall outers.

High-volume lines

Long rolls reduce changeovers and keep takt time predictable. Choose hot-melt for fast grab on high recycled content or dusty kraft.

Integrated protection

Pair with layer pads, bubble/paper and profiles to minimise movement and reduce tape load.

Adhesive options for machine tape

Adhesive Best for Initial Tack Temp Resistance Notes
Hot-melt (PP) Recycled/kraft cartons, dusty lines Very high Good Fast grab; great for rapid conveyance and aggressive wipe-down
Acrylic (PP) Clean boards, variable temps High Very good Clear finish, stable over time; ideal for warehouse/storage
Paper/Gummed* Eco-first, tamper-evident High (when activated) Good *Use with gummed tape machines; see reinforced paper tape

Machine Tape – Frequently Asked Questions

Our machine tapes use a standard 76mm (3") core and common widths (48/50/75mm), making them compatible with most automatic and semi-automatic case sealers.

Choose hot-melt for fast grab on recycled or slightly dusty cartons; choose acrylic for cleaner environments where clarity and long-term stability matter.

990m is the workhorse length balancing cost and changeover time. High-throughput lines may prefer 1500m to minimise roll changes.

Use hot-melt adhesive, ensure wipe-down rollers apply firm pressure, clean the centre seam if dusty, and set correct tape tension and roller angles.

Yes—use brown or clear hand rolls with dispensers for rework or re-seals; keep adhesive families consistent for appearance and performance.

Right-size cartons, add layer pads and edge profiles to stabilise loads, and maintain your sealer (sharp knives, aligned heads) to avoid double passes.
