Why choose specialist tape?
Standard packaging tapes won’t always cut it. Specialist tapes are engineered for specific conditions—low-noise unwinds for busy pack benches, chill-grade adhesives that bond in cold rooms, premium PVC for a glossy finish, or tamper-evident security films for high-value orders.
Finish your pack the right way
Match adhesive chemistry and film to the substrate and route. Combine with appropriate bubble or paper protection, plus edge protection, to reduce tape usage and improve outcomes.

Best practice for strong seals
Right-size the carton; stabilise contents with layer pads, bubble or paper. Apply the H-tape method to top and base seams. Press tape firmly to activate adhesive “wet-out” and ensure a flat bond.
Picking the right adhesive
Choose acrylic for clarity and stable storage, hot-melt for fast grab on recycled board, rubber for dusty or fibrous surfaces. For security and recyclability, consider paper or reinforced paper.
Build a complete packaging system
Start with the right box, add bubble or paper protection, stabilise with edge protection, and finish with the most suitable specialist tape for your route and customer experience.
