Qspac offers many solutions to your box sealing needs -
Acrylic BOPP
This is a pressure sensitive polypropylene tape with Water Based Acrylic Adhesive -
This offers an adhesive that will not yellow over time, can be applied down to 32F , and offers very good fiber tear (will usually tear the box riber when being removed). Qspac offers two grades of Acrylic BOPP -
PA Series - Premium Acrylic - This uses Rohm & Haas Acrylic Adhesive which offers -
- Superior Fiber Tear
- Excellent Cold Temp Properties - Can be applied down to 32F
- Very good Freezer Properties - when properly applied to the carton, it will operate well down to -25F
- Excellent Clarity that will not yellow over time
Our Premium / PA products are available from 1.6 to 3.6 mils in thickness, 2" & 3" widths, and a variety of lengths from 55 yd to 1500 yds, depending on the product. We also offer this in Clear, Tan, and Colors.
Mighty Tac Acrylic
This is a competitively priced Acrylic BOPP carton sealing tape that is available in 1.8, 2.0 and 2.6 mil thicknesses
This is a fast growing product line because it balances cost vs. performance.
Premium Hot Melt
Hot Melt is a petroleum based adhesive that offers some properties that may be important to you -
- This has good "Quick Tack" properties - reaches its maximum holding strength to the carton quickly.
- Has Superior Shear Values - this is a measure of the internal strength of the adhesive - how well it holds under stress over time.
- This is often a good choice for high volume machine application because this adhesive is stiffer and less likely to "gum up" tape heads.
Water Activated Tape (WAT)
These are paper tapes with an adhesive that requires water to make it stick to the box. You will need a special table top dispenser to dispense this tape. This is available in two types -
Non-Reinforced / Gummed Tape
This is paper tape with a water activated adhesive. Good for light boxes.
Reinforced Water Activated Tape
This product has fiberglass reinforcing strands or scrim, sandwiched between the layers of paper. This offers superior strength and Tamper Evidence. You are probably familiar with the Amazon boxes showing up on your doorstep. This is available in Regular & Heavy Duty and Kraft and White stock colors. We can also print this product. This requires a special WAT dispenser to apply the appropriate amount of water to the adhesive as it is being dispensed.
