Why Use Reinforced Tape ?

Which carton do you want representing your company?

Reinforced tape gives your company & your company's products a professional image. And, it does it at a lower cost then plastic tape!

The Benefits of Reinforced Tape

Lowers Per Carton Sealing Costs -                                

Multiple strips of plastic tape costs more to                           

use per carton then a single strip of reinforced tape

Faster then Plastic Tape, Staples, & Glue -

Tests show that you can seal 40% more cartons with

reinforced tape then with plastic tape. Even if you ship just a handful of cartons per day, reinforced tape enables you to get last minute orders out - on time!

Satisfied Customers = Repeat Business

Discourages Pilferage - Tamper Evident Seal

When your carton leaves, it is handled, on average,

7 TIMES before it reaches your customer. Reinforced tape

"bonds" with the carton to form tamper evident seal.

If someone tries to remove reinforced tape,

the carton is clearly damaged

ETry this.  

Apply a strip of your plastic tape. Rub it down

for as long as you like. Now, press on the flap and see

what happens to the seal. The carton flap easily gives way

How easy is it for someone to do this when that carton

is sitting on a loading dock somewhere 

WITH YOUR PRODUCTS INSIDE?

Stronger Carton Seal

Reinforced tape gives your carton a stronger seal, reducing

lost & damaged merchandise claims. Cartons sealed

with reinforced tape stay sealed in transit!

Not Affected By Temperature                                             

Once you seal a carton with 

reinforced tape it stays sealed!.                                       

Even in hot/cold environments.                                             

ETry this.                                                                                      

Apply a strip of plastic tape to a carton. 

Heat it up with a hair dryer                               

Now, pull the tape off.                                                              

Notice how easy it was to remove the tape from the carton?                               

Now imagine your carton sealed with plastic                                                     

tape sitting in a hot truck.                                                                     

Overfill/Underfill Cartons

If your cartons are sometimes overfilled, it can be even

more difficult for plastic tape, staples, and glue to quickly 

and securely seal that carton. Not so with reinforced

gummed tape. Reinforced tape, when used with a superior

tape machine, quickly "tacks down" to the carton.

Do your cartons sometimes have "underfill" situations?

This is where the carton flaps can be pressed down.  Plastic tape

quickly gives way. Only reinforced gummed tape holds loose flaps

securely. 

Dust Free Seal -

Plastic tape stretches. Just pull on it and you'll see. Reinforced tape

doesn't stretch. Why is this important? Plastic tape that stretches creates

"flap gaps". This allows dust, dirt, & other contaminants to enter your

carton in transit. The result? Unhappy customers.

Reduce Time Spent Filling Out Claims

Lost & damaged cartons. Cartons that arrive "short" 

create a lot of extra paperwork that wastes time & money.

These claims can occur when carton seals fail in transit. 

Eliminate this problem with reinforced gummed tape!

The Problems With Hand Held Tape Guns

How many hand held tape guns do you replace in a year? Over 10 years?

Just one gummed tape machine eliminates all the lost & broken guns.

Tape guns' sharp exposed razor edges can cut operators.

Tape machines are safer. no exposed blades that can cut & injure!

In higher volume shipping departments operators can suffer from

fatigue and repetitive wrist motion problems constantly handling tape guns.

Not so with tape machines.

A simple touch of the button instantly dispenses the EXACT tape length to seal a carton,

Today your cartons need a secure, tamper evident seal.

We can help. There are many different models of reinforced tape machines available, one to fit any requirement and budget.
