Why should you switch to paper packing tape?

You should definitely switch if the environment is high on the agenda in your company! Paper tape has all the benefits and properties of ordinary plastic packaging tape – but as well as being on a par with ordinary packaging tape, paper tape has many other notable advantages. One of them is that it can be recycled with the cardboard box, simplifying the recycling process. We’ll talk more about the remaining advantages in this post.

Paper tape – an environmentally friendly and safe choice!

Actually, we can’t see any reasons not to switch to paper packing tape… There is currently a growing awareness of the environment and sustainable business. It may sound trite, but with a now quite wide range of eco-friendly packaging, it’s a quite simple, but highly effective way to start the path towards a sustainable future. The tape and especially the packaging is one of the first things customers see when they receive their parcel – so why not start here.

The eco-friendly Paper Tape and Adhesive Tapes are excellent alternatives to Polypropylene and Vinyl tapes and have the same adhesive power and provide the same good protection – also it can be easily and simply recycled and recovered – even the adhesive is eco-friendly.

Other excellent reasons to switch to paper tape are that the tape sticks to all types of cardboard, cardboard and boxes and they are easy to tear but still strong in use. In addition, the paper tape can be written on, it is available in white and also in different qualities. The fact that the tape is writable gives additional advantages, it saves you for example from buying labels, you can use your paper tape instead.

We are seeing an increasing demand for paper tape for many different reasons. One of the most notable is that the tape makes ‘Unboxing’ and the experience for the customer good when they receive and have to open their package – the tape is in fact easy to deal with, as it is possible to both tear and cut the tape.

Paper tape is a strong and flexible tape and, as mentioned, it is available in different qualities. The reinforced version can take packages of up to 75 kg, which is matched by its high resistance to heat and humidity. It is ideal for export and helps to reduce the environmental impact in the country receiving the package.

If these weren’t enough reasons to switch, there’s one last thing the tape can be used for… well why not as masking tape 🙂

What is the eco-friendly tape made of?

The basic elements of the eco-friendly packaging tape are sustainable resources of recycled paper and adhesive made of natural rubber. You can get packing tape made of paper in 57 g/m2, 70 g/m2 and reinforced in 125 g/m2.

In addition, you can also choose adhesive tape, which leaves obvious damage on the box if someone tries to open the box. The adhesive tape must be used together with a moistening machine which activates the adhesive of the tape.
