At Supertape, we work closely with leading manufacturers of packaging machines, such as vertical and horizontal flowpackers, bag sealers, case sealers, carry handle applicators, RYO packaging machines, and wrapping machines for handkerchiefs. Our expertise in adhesive tapes contributes to efficient and reliable packaging processes.
Our tapes are designed for automated application at high speed. We provide advice on the right pressure settings, unwinding systems, cutting mechanisms, and transport techniques to ensure consistent adhesion and processing.
When automating the application of self-adhesive tapes on packaging lines, a thorough analysis from three perspectives is essential. Firstly, the substrate on which the tape is applied is crucial; surface tension determines the choice of adhesive.
Secondly, the application process is very important: pressure-sensitive adhesives require sufficient and uniform pressure for optimal adhesion, while factors such as unwind tension, cutting mechanisms, and environmental hygiene influence performance.
Thirdly, the selection of the tape construction plays a role. Depending on the application, various types of adhesives and coating weights (ranging from 18 to 350 grams), carriers such as PET, BOPP, MOPP, non-woven, fabric, paper or foam, and single- or double-sided constructions with matching liners in plastic or paper are chosen. These tapes are available in various sizes, including machine rolls, spool-wound rolls and labels, tailored to the specific requirements of your packaging process.
Through our collaboration with machine builders, we can offer integrated solutions that optimize both tape performance and machine efficiency. Our expertise in tape application and machine integration ensures a seamless implementation into your packaging line.
