Filament Tape

General Information
A 5.4 mil. general purpose medium tensile strength tape reinforced with continuous glass yarn filaments. The tape's white backing provides and excellent "background" surface for custom printed tape applications using "topside" flexographic printing methods and the PRINT SEAL™ process. The agressive packaging grade adhesive is specifically formulated to provide balanced performance, having both high initial adhesion and long term holding power tom ost fiberboard surfaces. Suitable for use in most general purpose box closing, bundling, and pallet unitizing applications.
