Review of the best packaging tapes

An overview of the best packaging tapes.

Packaging tape is an essential accessory for every online shop and warehouse. Find out what assortment RAJA offers and choose the right packaging tapes for your needs.

In the RAJA shop – at the leader of the European packaging market – you can stock your shop with different types of packaging tapes. Read the article and see which tapes will be useful for your business.

Types of adhesive packaging tape

RAJA offers the following types of tapes:

• carton packaging tapes
• pallet strapping tapes
• eco-friendly packaging tapes
• printed packaging tapes

Carton sealing tapes

Carton tape, as the name suggests, is used for the precise sealing of carton packages, as well as their marking. By using it, you can be sure that the carton will not accidentally open and the goods will not spill out. These tapes are made of various materials (acrylic, PVC, polypropylene and paper). They are scratch and scratch resistant and can be used at low temperatures. They have different levels of adhesion depending on the adhesive used and come in many sizes and colours.

Splicing tapes

This type of tape is used for banding, i.e. strapping pallets and parcels together to stabilise and enable shipping. In addition to banding tape, accessories such as fasteners, protective corners, transport straps, tensioners and strappers are also useful.

RAJA offers specialised banding tapes: PP (polypropylene) tapes, polyester tapes, in distributor and ready-made banding kits. PP tape is designed for product bundling, palletising and for banding loads for short storage. They can be applied manually or with semi-automatic and automatic machines. They are very strong, durable and flexible, yet stretchable, so they adapt to objects of different shapes. They come in several versions: heavy, narrow and coloured. They are used for heavy, bulky loads – for pallets weighing up to 600 kg.

Polyesterpallet wrapping tape (standard, standard plus and PET) is great for solidly securing loads – for palletising, creating heavy loads and securing products. It adheres very firmly to surfaces, but is lightweight, flexible and soft, so will not damage shipments.

Ecological packaging tapes

• Ecological packagingtape is a recyclable paper tape. It can be used wherever possible and many entrepreneurs who care about the fate of the planet use it in their online shops. More and more parcels are being secured with packaging paper tape. It is very strong and coated on the underside with a tough adhesive, which is also environmentally friendly. Why use it instead of less environmentally friendly tape?
• It has many advantages. It is environmentally friendly, it is 100% recycled, it can be recycled again after use, it is very strong, it does not damage cardboard boxes (so they can be reused). It is easy to peel off without using scissors or a knife. You can write or print your company logo on it. It is resistant to temperature changes, moisture and ultraviolet radiation. It is versatile.
• RAJA also offers rubberised paper tape. It is made of paper and backed with a very strong adhesive – it penetrates the structure of the cardboard. It is made from 80% recycled material and can be recycled again.
• You can also order reinforced paper tape, which is tear-resistant thanks to cross reinforcement with glass fibre. It has very high adhesion. It is recommended for large and heavy parcels up to 75 kg.
• The shop also offers printed packing tapes. Businesses can order these tapes with individual printing (e.g. company logo or advertising slogan).

Accessories for packing tapes

To apply adhesive tapes conveniently, special dispensers for adhesive tapes are needed. The RAJA shop offers a wide range of dispensers, as well as devices for sealing bags and pouches. RAJA dispensers minimise the risk of injury during packaging.
