You’ve invested a lot of time and money into your product. From applying quality standards and operational efficiencies to designing eye-catching packaging, you’ve dedicated countless hours and resources to ensure your product gets to its destination intact.
However, something as simple as packaging tape failure or unsecured carton seals can render all your hard work useless. This can lead to production inefficiencies, product damage, theft, and more.
While Carton Sealing Tape is both the best and most economical way to seal cartons, it is important to understand that not all packaging tapes or applications work the same. That’s why it’s important to consider the type and application methods when selecting one for the job.
Pyramid Packaging will help you determine your best solution for carton sealing tape — whether a manual or automated application of a pressure-sensitive, water-activated, or strapping tape.
Filament, Masking & Specialty Tapes
Filament, or strapping tape, is heavy duty tape used for bundling and packing applications.
Masking Tape, more commonly knowns as painters tape is used for lighter jobs and applications.
Specialty tape is customized to a specific application and can be die-cut, printed, or combined with other products. Specialty tapes can be used for a variety of purposes, including bonding, sealing, masking, and insulating.
