Packaging Tape

Tape is identified by the following:

• The carrier—polypropylene or PVC—is the backing material of the tape. PVC is hand-tearable and a premium backing, whereas polypropylene requires a dispenser and is more commonly used for general purposes.
• The adhesive – acrylic, hot melt, or Solvent, is the part that makes it stick! Certain adhesives are better for certain atmospheres or temperatures.
• The core size –  76mm core.
