Introduction and Daily Applications of Carton Sealing Tape

Tapes can be classified by their functions into: high-temperature tapes, double-sided tapes, insulating tapes, special tapes, and die-cut tapes. Different functions cater to the needs of different industries. A layer of adhesive is applied to the surface of the tape to enable it to stick to objects. The earliest adhesives came from animals and plants. In the 19th century, rubber was the main component of adhesives; while in modern times, various types are widely used.

I. Functional Classification and Application Scenarios of Tapes

• High-temperature tapes: They have good high-temperature resistance and are suitable for scenarios in electronics, automotive and other industries that require pasting and fixing in high-temperature environments, such as fixing circuit boards during the welding process of electronic components.

• Double-sided tapes: Both sides are coated with adhesives, which can firmly stick two objects together. They are used in packaging, decoration, office and other fields. For example, they are often used when pasting posters or fixing photo frames.

• Insulating tapes: They have excellent insulating performance and are mainly used for insulating wrapping of electrical equipment, wires and cables, which can prevent safety hazards such as electric leakage.

• Special tapes: These tapes have special properties such as waterproof, fireproof, and anti-corrosion. They are suitable for some special industries, such as pasting parts with special material requirements in the aerospace field.

• Die-cut tapes: They are formed into specific shapes after die-cutting processing and are often used for pasting and fixing precision components in electronics, medical and other industries.

II. Development of Tape Adhesives

The earliest adhesives came from animals and plants, such as natural rubber obtained from rubber trees. In the 19th century, rubber became the main component of adhesives. In modern times, various synthetic adhesives are widely used, such as acrylates and polyurethanes. These synthetic adhesives have greatly improved in terms of adhesiveness, weather resistance, stability, etc., and can meet the diverse needs of different scenarios for tape performance.

III. Applications of Tape in Life and Work

• Protection: It provides surface protection for products, forming a lightweight, protective layer at the seal of product packaging to achieve dustproof, oilproof, moistureproof, waterproof, anti-theft and other effects. What’s particularly important is that transparent tape distributes force evenly across packaged items, avoiding damage caused by uneven stress. For example, wrapping glass products with transparent tape during transportation can reduce damage from collisions.

  
  

• Fixation: Transparent tape has strong adhesiveness and good fixity. When used to seal cartons, it prevents the carton seals from bursting open; moreover, cartons are less likely to deform when squeezed. When moving, securing carton lids with transparent tape ensures that items inside won’t fall out.

  
  

• Affordability: Compared to other types of tape, transparent tape has the advantage of low cost. Using it for carton packaging can effectively reduce usage costs, which is an important reason why many enterprises prioritize transparent tape for product packaging.

  
  

• Aesthetics: Customized transparent tape can be used for corporate promotion. The surface of the tape can be printed with a company’s logo, name, contact information, etc. Custom tape also reflects a company’s overall strength. When sealing boxes, it helps customers become familiar with the brand while achieving an attractive promotional effect and enhancing the company’s visibility.

As a common daily necessity and industrial material, tape plays an important role in various industries and daily life with its diverse functions and wide applicability.
