Selection criteria

What determines the right carton seal?

Start with the corrugated board grade, the weight of the packed unit and the tension of the carton flaps. Then compare the backing material, adhesive and whether you seal cartons by hand or by machine.

The tesa range includes PVC and PP backings as well as paper tapes for different packaging tasks. Check each version on your actual carton and take transport and storage conditions into account.

SELECTING CARTON SEALING TAPE

How do you choose the right tesa packaging tape?

A PVC tape such as tesapack 4120 may be an option for a medium weight carton; tesa specifies 4124 for medium to heavy cartons. For PP tapes such as tesa 64014, check suitability for your carton and the required unwind behaviour. Backing and adhesive serve different purposes: the backing affects unwinding and tear behaviour, while the adhesive determines adhesion to the substrate.

Suitability depends on the actual carton, sealing method and application process. Tell us the carton material, packed weight, roll format and whether you seal by hand or by machine; we can then assess a suitable cut width as well.

QUESTIONS ABOUT TESA PACKAGING TAPE

How do tesa PVC and PP packaging tapes differ?

They differ first in their backing material and, depending on the product, in adhesive, unwind behaviour and intended use. tesa 4124 has a PVC backing and natural rubber adhesive and is described for medium to heavy cartons. tesa 64014 has a PP backing and acrylic adhesive and is described for light to medium weight cartons. Neither material is automatically superior. Your carton, sealing process and the specific product version determine the choice.

What information helps when choosing tape for carton sealing?

Tell us the corrugated board grade, carton surface, weight of the packed unit and required sealing method. Flap tension, transport and storage conditions and whether you apply tape by hand or machine also matter. For the supply format, specify the roll width, roll length and dispensers in use. These details help narrow down the tape selection and assess a suitable converted format for your workflow.

Can the same tesa packaging tape be applied by hand and by machine?

That must be checked for the specific product. The product information for tesa 4124 specifies both manual and automatic application. The product information for tesapack 4120 describes a hand roll and manual application. The actual roll must also fit your equipment, including its roll holder and permitted tape width. Specify the tape and machine or dispenser together; a brand name or backing material alone does not establish device compatibility.

When does cutting packaging tape to size make sense?

Consider a cut width when the required tape format needs to match the carton, sealing point or application step. Krückemeyer GmbH converts suitable tapes into application specific sizes and supply formats. Whether the requested width and roll fit the selected tesa packaging tape and your dispenser depends on the source material and process. Describe your application and required supply format before settling on a dimension.
