WATER ACTIVATED TAPE Water activated tape provides a bond to corrugated cartons that is second to none. Your heavy duty jobs are best handled by fiberglass bubbleroll reinforced tape, while lighter cartons are easily handled by the less expensive non-reinforced tape. Water activated tape is unaffected by heat, cold, light or humidity and works well in dusty and dirty environments. Water activated tape is recyclable and provides a strong, secure seal that cannot be broken without detection Steel is the strongest of all strapping materials. It bubbleroll is recommended where high strength is necessary, low elongation bubbleroll is important and where the product is extremely sharp or hot. Steel is sealed using mechanical seals and notch (sealless) joints. It is most commonly used in steel service centers, rail car applications and heavy construction applications.
Mailing Tubes Great for shipping or storing maps, blueprints or other documents that are best kept unfolded. We offer kraft tubes, white tubes, snap seal tubes and square tubes. Boxes Box dimensions are inside dimensions and stated in the (L bubbleroll x W x H) sequence. Length (L) is the larger of the two dimensions. (L x W) is the measurement for the bubbleroll open top of the box. Width (W) is the smaller dimensions of the open top. The height (H) or depth is the dimension that measures the inside height or depth of the box. Packaging Supplies Company''s stocks RSC type containers. RSC (Regular Slotted Containers) means that all flaps are the same lengths in the height (H) direction and the length (L) side flaps meet in the center of the box when folded in the closed position.
Carton sealing tape is available in two varieties, pressure sensitive and water activated. Pressure sensitive tape is typically made of PVC or Polypropylene backing with acrylic, hot melt or natural rubber adhesive. Pressure sensitive tape is relatively inexpensive, provides a good bond for many carton sealing applications and is easily applied with an inexpensive tape gun. Water activated tape is constructed of kraft paper backing and sometimes bubbleroll includes fiberglass reinforcement. Water activated tape requires a stationary dispenser containing water to dispense the tape and activate the adhesive, but forms a superior bond when applied to corrugated cartons. PRESSURE SENSITIVE TAPE Hot Melt Hot melt tape is also known as synthetic rubber and is typically manufactured with a polypropylene backing. Hot melt tape works well from 45-120 degrees, provides a good bond for most carton sealing applications and is the lowest cost pressure sensitive tape available. Hot melt will yellow with time, but will do so more slowly than natural rubber tape.
