Fachpack 2006: tear strips for paperboard containers

Precise opening, high stability – efficient solutions for professional cardboard packaging

Being able to open paperboard packages precisely and quickly in the appropriate place without destroying the rest of the packaging or, worse, the contents: tear strips make opening cardboard packaging considerably easier. At the same time, they make it possible to package items securely and firmly, because unlike perforations, tear strips do not compromise the stability of the box itself.

tesa offers the corrugated cardboard industry a complete assortment of self-stick tear strips including three different adhesive strips developed especially for the packaging industry. All of the tear strips can be integrated into the production process without any problems and can be processed even at high run speeds.

The particularly robust tesa® 53497 tear strip allows users to tear open even thick cardboard packaging without any problems. A strong rubber adhesive ensures firm hold on all the usual kinds of corrugated and solid fiberboard. At the same time, tesa® 53497 can be unrolled particularly quietly. This reduces noise stress during processing. This high-performance tear strip was developed specifically for opening packaging made of corrugated cardboard and heavy-duty solid cardboard as well as express delivery envelopes.

tesa® 51235 excels due to its outstanding tearing performance at comparatively lower thicknesses. This tape, made of a stable polypropylene backing with hot melt adhesive, is therefore outstandingly well suited to tearing open packages made of medium to heavy solid cardboard or double-layer corrugated cardboard. Due to its high elasticity, tesafilm 51235 also enables diagonal opening.

tesa® 4235 is especially good for tearing open medium solid cardboard and double-layer corrugated cardboard. This tape, made of polypropylene film with rubber adhesive, has very high tack upon contact and is specially designed for automatic processing at high application speeds.

Working closely with leading machine manufacturers, tesa also offers complete system solutions for processing as well as advising and technical support in the implementation of individual packaging solutions.
