FILAMENT TAPE FOR PACKAGING
Filament tape for bundling and reinforcing packages
Filament tape reinforces packaging with embedded fibres. The right choice depends on the package, the direction of reinforcement and the way the tape is applied. Krückemeyer GmbH can help you choose the tape and discuss a suitable cut format.

Selection criteria
What reinforcement does your package need?
Start with the task: do you need to bundle items, close cartons or reinforce a package? Then examine the fibre direction. The range includes tapes with lengthwise glass fibres and versions reinforced in both directions. The particular construction determines suitability. The backing, adhesive, surface and roll format must also fit your process.

CHOOSING FOR PACKAGING PROCESSES
Assess fibre direction and application together
Here, filament tape means fibre-reinforced adhesive tape for packaging. In Scotch 8956, glass fibres increase tear resistance and polypropylene film forms the backing. Scotch 8959 has cross-woven glass fibres and resists tearing in both the lengthwise and crosswise directions. This does not make the tapes generally interchangeable: the bundled goods, carton surface and direction of stress govern the choice.
For carton closing and bundling, also consider how the tape is applied and which width or supply format your process requires. Krückemeyer GmbH can discuss converting options; we check whether a cut format suits the specific tape and application. Tell us about the package, surface, stresses and handling in the enquiry form.

FILAMENT TAPE QUESTIONS
What is filament tape used for in packaging?
Filament tape is used to bundle packages and to close and reinforce cartons. Fibre reinforcement is part of the tape construction and supports tear resistance. The suitable version depends on the package, surface, stresses and application method. Compare the product information and test the tape on your package before choosing a version.
How do lengthwise and cross-reinforced filament tapes differ?
The direction of the reinforcing fibres distinguishes these constructions. The product information for Scotch 8959 describes cross-woven glass fibres and resistance to tearing in both lengthwise and crosswise directions. Other filament tapes in the range have lengthwise glass fibres. Fibre direction alone determines neither adhesion nor packaging security. Check the direction of stress, backing, adhesive and carton surface for the individual product.
Is filament tape suitable for every carton closure?
Suitability has to be checked on the carton with the selected tape. For Scotch 8956 and 8959, the product information describes clean, dust-free carton surfaces and application at room temperature as favourable conditions. Fibre reinforcement does not automatically make the tape suitable for every carton surface or transport load. State the carton surface, package and application method when choosing a tape.
What details does Krückemeyer need for a filament tape cut?
Tell us the packaging task, package, surface and stresses during handling and transport. For converting, also specify the required tape width, roll or supply format and your application steps. Krückemeyer GmbH checks which format makes sense for the specific material and application. This lets us assess the tape construction and cut format together.
