Packaging Tapes and Their Significance

Packaging Tapes

Packaging plays a major role in getting the products across unaffected. Right from the packaging material used to the type of tape used to seal the package, everything counts and everything matters. The type of packaging tape used ensures the compactness with which the item is packed. It protects the material from wear and tear and movement from the transport. There are various types of packaging tapes, each one serving a different and unique purpose.

Selecting the right packaging tape:

As mentioned before, packaging tape differs based on the nature of packing that needs to be done, which again depends on the type of item that needs to be transported. Few guidelines have to be addressed before selecting the packaging tape. It should be noted if the packing tape is tough as well as easy to remove. Customers often get annoyed if they can’t remove the packaging easily when received. It should have enough tensile strength to protect the package while still being easy to remove when it reaches the customer. It is preferable if the tape is transparent so that it doesn’t hide any important information printed on the package. Customization can be done like adding logos and brand names on the tape but it shouldn’t affect the look of the packaging. The weight of the packaging should also be considered. The tape should have high tensile strength to withstand the wear and tear endured by the package while it is being moved around.

Tapes Complete Packaging:

The process of packaging is complete only when the packaging tape is used to seal the item. The whole point of packaging is to protect the integrity of the product being shipped. Packaging tapes ensure that by securing the compactness of the cargo. It shouldn’t be too tough and it shouldn’t be too easy because being one way or the other could still drastically affect the way a product reaches the customer. The fact that a seemingly inconsequential packaging aid like a tape has such a big effect on the integrity of the product is simply glossed over by many. Right from the amount of adhesive used in the tape to the length and width of the tape, every little thing contributes to safely getting the product across.

BOPP Tapes:

One of the most commonly used packaging tapes is the BOPP tape. It is the most preferred sealing medium for long distance shipping and also for transporting heavy cargo. BOPP tapes are often have a high tensile strength and are highly resilient in nature which makes them perfect for heavy duty transport. BOPP tapes come in different varieties such as
•    Milk white
