7 Reasons Why Tegrabond® Water Activated Tapes Are The Ultimate Eco Friendly Alternative To Classic Plastic Tape
What Are Tegrabond® Water Activated Tapes?
The Eco Friendly Alternative To Classic Plastic Tape.
Tegrabond® water activated tape systems provide the ultimate tamper evident, integrated tape sealing security solution.
Tegrabond® tapes are made of sturdy kraft paper that creates a smooth, crease-free seal that blends permanently with the cardboard surface of the carton.
An Integral Closure
The adhesives in Tegrabond® water activated tape penetrate into the fibres of the carton, creating a total bond.
As the tape becomes an integral part of the carton this adds considerable strength and security to the closure.
Adhesives used on conventional pressure sensitive packing tapes remain ‘wet’ and will lose adhesion with time or when subjected to extreme temperature or humidity.
Tamper Evidence
Tegrabond® uses a permanent adhesive which prevents removal of the tape without clearly visible proof of tamperage or damage to the carton. Glassfibre reinforced Tegrabond® further enhances security.
Cartons sealed with conventional packing tape can be easily compromised, as application of gentle heat will soften and reactivate the adhesive, permitting entry to the carton and resealing with no visible trace of disturbance.
100% Recyclability
Tegrabond® is made entirely from renewable natural resources, which enables it to be easily recycled along with cardboard waste and suitable for landfill.
Packaging research associations have all given Tegrabond® recyclability accreditation, making it the eco-friendly choice for the packaging professional.
Tegrabond® water activated tape shows the customer that you care for the environment.
Temperature Tolerant
Even with extreme variations of temperature and humidity, Tegrabond® retains its seal strength and remains highly resistant to ageing, making it the ideal solution for long-term storage.
Improved Presentation
Tegrabond® outperforms plastic tape on presentation. Available in natural, oyster and white kraft, it blends naturally with cardboard cartons and is perfectly suited to personalised printing.
With its greater rigidity and adhesion, Tegrabond® avoids the ripples, bubbles, creasing, multiple layers and incomplete adhesion that are common with conventional tapes.
Cost Savings
Independent studies have proven that as Tegrabond® uses less tape and creates a more secure seal, it provides more cost-effective carton sealing than conventional tape, particularly when used in conjunction with a Tegrabond® electronic dispensing system.
Reduced Fatigue
The same independent studies also revealed that the combination of Tegrabond® water activated tape and Tegrabond® tape dispensing systems results in increased productivity and reduced incidence of operator fatigue.
By switching to Tegrabond®, medium-high volume users of packing tapes soon recoup the moderate costs of investment and create a happier, healthier and more productive working environment.
