Tape waste is easy to spot - just look for stub rolls lying around your automated packaging line. In packaging operations, 10-20% tape waste is accepted as normal. Every inch of unused tape adds up to lost dollars. We can help - Shurtape packaging tapes run Good to the Core.

Are you experiencing issues with packaging tape not sticking? Broken or uncut tape? Unsecure seals? Damage due to sharp instruments (product damage or personal injury)? If you answered yes to any of these questions – we can help!

[BlueWater Automation @BlueWAutomation]

A tape that is manufactured well allows lines to run faster & longer. Variables such as inconsistent film thickness, thin adhesive coating & little release coating may hinder the performance of the tape, particularly in automated environments.

Tape roll changes can be time-consuming and costly to your line efficiency and your bottom line. Oftentimes, the process is hindered by the amount of time required to thread a roll of tape or to fix an incorrectly threaded tape applicator. We can help - contact us today!

Folded-Edge Technology is a feature available with ShurSEAL Packaging Solutions that folds both edges of the packaging tape along the length of the carton as it’s applied. Contact us to learn more!

A tape's holding power, or shear strength, is the adhesive's ability to resist slippage/stress, allowing the tape to hold the major flaps of the carton closed. Using a tape with high shear strength helps reduce risk of cartons popping open throughout the rigours of supply chain.
