Polypropylene (BOPP) Carton Tapes
-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --
Technical Overview
Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene (BOPP) carton sealing tapes are the industry standard for general-purpose packaging. The BOPP film carrier provides good tear and puncture resistance, while the biaxial orientation enhances tensile strength and clarity. The tapes are typically coated with water-based acrylic, hot-melt synthetic rubber, or solvent acrylic adhesives.
Performance is measured by adhesion to the corrugated fiberboard, tensile strength, and impact resistance. High-quality BOPP tapes are formulated to resist edge lifting and splitting, providing reliable closure for shipping cartons. The selection of the adhesive system is critical, determined by the required holding power, temperature resistance, and ability to bond to recycled or dusty cardboard substrates.
Why Choose Us
Differentiating Attributes
- High Tear and Puncture Resistance: The biaxially oriented film is engineered to withstand rough handling and prevent package failure during transit, protecting the contents.
- Versatile Adhesive Options: Available with rubber adhesive (fast tack on recycled/dusty cartons) or acrylic adhesive (better long-term hold and UV resistance) to optimize bonding for specific box materials.
- Consistent Dispensing: The film structure and coating ensure smooth, controlled unwinding, compatible with both handheld dispensers and automated carton sealing machinery.
- Cost-Effective Strength: Provides a high strength-to-cost ratio, making it the most economical choice for high-volume, general-purpose packaging requirements.
- Resistance to Splitting: Designed to resist tearing longitudinally down the center of the tape, maintaining seal integrity even if a small edge tear occurs.
- Clear and Opaque Options: Available in crystal clear for aesthetic applications or opaque colors for security and identification purposes.
Core Features
Applications
- General Carton Sealing: Closing corrugated boxes for storage, shipping, and transport in manufacturing and e-commerce logistics.
- Bundling and Unitizing: Tying together multiple small packages or components for easy handling.
- Pallet Stabilization: Applying tape for temporary holding of plastic or paper wrap to pallets before final stretch wrapping.
- Inventory Coding and Color-Coding: Utilizing colored or pre-printed BOPP tapes for efficient warehouse management and product identification.
- Label Protection: Applying a layer of clear BOPP tape over shipping labels to protect them from moisture and abrasion.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- Q: What is the best adhesive type for cold-temperature packaging?
- A: Hot-melt rubber adhesives often offer superior initial adhesion (cold stick) compared to water-based acrylics when applied in cold environments, making them preferable for sealing cartons destined for refrigerated storage or cold weather transport.
- Q: Why is the strength rating of BOPP tape important?
- A: The tensile strength and elongation at break determine how much stress the tape can withstand before breaking. Higher tensile strength is required for sealing heavier cartons or those under dynamic stress during shipping.
- Q: Can I use BOPP tapes on recycled cardboard?
- A: Yes, but the adhesive choice is crucial. Recycled cardboard often has lower surface energy and a fibrous, dusty surface. A high-tack rubber or specialized acrylic is necessary to ensure proper wetting and a secure bond.
- Q: Does BOPP tape yellow or lose adhesion over time?
- A: Standard rubber adhesives can yellow and lose tack due to oxidation. Acrylic adhesive BOPP tapes are much more stable, resisting yellowing and maintaining their bond strength over longer storage periods.
