How to source the best tape for your needs

There's a huge variety of packaging tapes on the market to cover almost any application and environment. With over 60 years experience, we are experts in our field and can guide you to the the right tape to meet your requirements.

Primarily packaging tape is split across two categories:
1) The Substrate, i.e. the backing which is either PVC (Vinyl), Polypropylene and/or Kraft Paper
2) The Glue, most commonly Natural Rubber, Hot Melt and Acrylic.

All three adhesives can be applied to either substrate so that when combined there is a tape that is just right for you and your business needs.
