Acrylic is the medium priced pressure sensitive tape cold and features excellent clarity and resistance to yellowing. It may be applied in temperatures ranging from 32-140 degrees, is a great general purpose tape seal and is the favorite when carton appearance is an important consideration. Natural Rubber Packaging Supplies cold Company''s natural rubber tape has a strong PVC backing which is very quiet coming off the roll and accepts magic marker on the surface of the tape without smearing. Natural rubber adhesive is the best pressure sensitive tape for sealing cartons in extreme temperatures (0-150 degrees), humidity or dampness because it quickly forms a long lasting bond. Natural rubber tape is darker than acrylic or hot melt tape and yellows as it ages. Natural rubber is the most expensive pressure sensitive tape available.

Metallocene film is a new hybrid stretch wrap that offers up to twice the tear and puncture seal resistance of conventionally manufactured films. Metallocene resins are cleaner, stronger, and tougher cold than conventional resins like octene, hexene, and butene. Metallocene film is available in rolls that require a hand dispenser. Packaging Supplies Company stocks metallocene seal film that cold is 16" wide and ranges seal from 14-19 microns. Gauge Chart The thickness (and therefore strength) of stretch wrap is measured in gauge or microns. A larger number means more thickness and cold more strength. Refer to the chart below for comparisons with other common measurements.

Carton sealing tape is available in two varieties, pressure sensitive and water activated. Pressure sensitive seal 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 cold tape is constructed of kraft paper backing and sometimes includes fiberglass reinforcement. Water activated tape requires a stationary dispenser containing water to dispense the tape and activate the adhesive, seal but forms a superior bond when applied cold to corrugated seal cartons. PRESSURE SENSITIVE TAPE Hot Melt Hot melt tape is also known as synthetic rubber cold and is typically manufactured seal 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.
