Machine Length Tape

About Machine Length Tape

Machine length tape is engineered for use with automated or semi-automated case sealing equipment, streamlining high-volume packaging operations. Available in hot melt, acrylic, or solvent adhesive formulas, it provides consistent performance on a wide range of corrugated surfaces. Machine tape reduces application time, labor costs, and waste by delivering uniform, reliable seals with minimal effort. Rolls are longer than standard hand tape, minimizing downtime due to roll changes. This tape is essential for manufacturing lines, distribution centers, and any fast-paced packaging environment.

Selecting the right machine-length tape is crucial for maintaining efficiency and secure packaging in industrial settings. Start by evaluating the weight and size of your packages-heavier shipments demand tapes with stronger adhesives and higher tensile strength. 

Consider your machinery’s specifications too, as not all tapes are universally compatible with every case sealer. Adhesive type matters: Acrylic adhesives work well in varied temperatures, while hot melt adhesives offer superior bond strength for high-speed operations. 

Lastly, factor in the tape’s thickness (measured in mils) for durability during transit. Choosing the right tape ensures faster workflow, fewer tape breaks, and minimized downtime.
