Tegrabond^® Reinforced Tapes

• The ultimate tape-applied security seal. Consider the advantages:
• 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 extremes of 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 environmentally-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 Packaging 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.
• Increased Productivity and Reduced Operator 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.
