This guide supports general product selection. Confirm the final choice through a trial on the real load, equipment and application conditions.
Start with the sealing surface
Corrugated-board finish, dust, recycled-board content and storage conditions affect adhesion. Assess tape on the actual carton surface, not by appearance alone.
Hotmelt packing tape
Hotmelt is commonly selected for many carton-closing applications requiring prompt, balanced adhesion. Surface cleanliness, storage temperature and application pressure still matter.
Acrylic and solvent options
Acrylic and solvent systems are options for different surfaces and environments. Test adhesion expectation, temperature variation, waiting time and application speed together.
Hand use or automatic case sealing?
Hand use needs practical unwinding and appropriate roll length. Automatic case sealers need compatible roll dimensions, tension, unwind behaviour and flap pressure.
Readability on printed tape
For printed tape, check text, logo contrast, repeat spacing and winding direction on a production sample before approval.

Frequently asked questions
Which tape is the strongest?
There is no single strongest tape. The right choice depends on carton type, box weight, storage and application conditions.
Why does tape lift from a carton?
Dusty or damp board, inadequate pressure, low temperature, unsuitable tape or a weak box can contribute.
What information is useful for machine tape?
Machine model, roll format, line speed, carton dimensions and board surface help define a technical recommendation.
