In the modern logistics and packaging industry, tape plays an indispensable role as an important packaging material. Yalan is a professional packaging material supplier, committed to providing high-quality and diversified packaging solutions, supporting mass customization, and can customize Logo according to customer needs. Yalan will discuss in detail the differences and applications between Kraft Paper Tape and Tape for Packing to help you make more informed decisions when choosing packaging materials.
Basic Definition of Kraft Paper Tape and Tape for Packing
Kraft Paper Tape is a tape based on kraft paper. Kraft paper usually has excellent strength and wear resistance, which makes this tape outstanding in terms of environmental protection and recyclability. Yalan's kraft paper tape uses natural rubber or hot melt adhesive as an adhesive, has strong adhesion, and has good tensile strength and durability. Its surface is smooth and easy to write and print, which makes it particularly suitable for packaging occasions that require marking.
Tape for Packing usually refers to Transparent Tape, cloth-based tape, polypropylene tape (such as BOPP tape), etc., which are widely used in various types of packaging. Take BOPP tape as an example. It uses biaxially oriented polypropylene film as the base material and is coated with uniform pressure-sensitive glue. It is characterized by high transparency and strong viscosity, which can effectively prevent the packaging box or other packaging items from loosening during transportation. It is often used for daily carton sealing and general packaging.
Main difference
Kraft Paper Tape uses natural kraft paper as the base material. This material is environmentally friendly and recyclable, and can be decomposed quickly in the natural environment. In contrast, Tape for Packing mostly uses plastic base materials. For example, the base material of BOPP tape is polypropylene. Although it has good physical properties, it is not easy to degrade and has a certain impact on the environment.
Kraft Paper Tape usually uses natural rubber or hot melt adhesive as an adhesive, which has strong adhesion and is easy to tear, meeting environmental protection requirements. Tape for Packing often uses acrylic glue. Although it has long-lasting viscosity, it may not be as stable as kraft paper tape under certain specific conditions (such as humid environments).
Kraft Paper Tape is often used for packaging that requires environmental certification or packaging projects with high environmental requirements, such as organic product packaging, food packaging, gift packaging, etc., due to its environmental friendliness. At the same time, kraft paper tape is easy to write and print, and is suitable for packaging that requires labeling or brand display.
Tape for Packing is suitable for general packaging occasions due to its excellent transparency and waterproofness, especially when the integrity of the packaging needs to be guaranteed during transportation. For example, transparent or opaque packaging tapes are more suitable for carton sealing, bundling packaging and other fields.
Kraft Paper Tape presents a natural brown color in visual effect, giving people a simple and environmentally friendly feeling, and is suitable for occasions that pay attention to packaging appearance and brand image. Tape for Packing has a variety of options, and can be selected according to needs. Transparent, colored or printed styles are widely used in various packaging environments.
With the increasing global attention to environmental protection and sustainable development, Kraft Paper Tape is favored by more and more companies due to its environmentally friendly materials and recyclable characteristics. It not only reduces the use of plastics during use, but also can be completely degraded without polluting the environment. In contrast, the plastic tape in Tape for Packing is slightly inferior in environmental performance despite its powerful functions. Therefore, in packaging projects that emphasize environmental protection, kraft paper tape is undoubtedly a better choice.
Actual application cases
Yalan's kraft paper tapes are used to package organic food. These tapes not only meet environmental standards, but can also print company logos, which improves the brand's recognition and aesthetics. In addition, since kraft paper tapes can be written directly, employees can easily mark the production date or other important information on the packaging, improving work efficiency.
In logistics companies, Tape for Packing (such as BOPP tape) is widely used for sealing and packaging. Yalan provides a large logistics company with a large number of customized transparent tapes with excellent adhesion and durability, ensuring the safety of packaging boxes during transportation. Due to the high transparency, customers can clearly see the goods in the package, avoiding the occurrence of mis-opening or mis-shipping of goods.
How to choose the right tape?
Choosing the right tape requires considering multiple factors, such as the type of items to be packaged, the transportation environment, environmental protection requirements, and budget. Here are some suggestions:
If you are packaging environmentally friendly products or environmentally friendly goods, it is recommended to use Kraft Paper Tape. This tape is not only environmentally friendly, but also can enhance the overall image of the product.
If the packaged items need to be transported for a long time and may be exposed to a humid environment, Tape for Packing may be a better choice, especially BOPP tape, which has excellent waterproof performance and long-lasting stickiness.
For packaging that needs to be marked or printed with a logo, kraft paper tape is an ideal choice. It is not only easy to write, but also can enhance the visibility and aesthetics of the brand.
