Description

A modern alternative to polypropylene standard packaging tape. A huge step forward to reduce plastic use.  Our standard saturated paper tapes are acid-free  Paper tape is easy to tear, strong and instantly sticks to smooth or uneven surfaces.  Paper tape is suitable for use in fluctuating temperatures  Can be recycled along with corrugated boxes  100% vegan friendly  Recyclable  Great Alternative to plastic tape  Natural Rubber Self Adhesive –  Made from sustainable materials  Self-adhesive paper tape – no water needed for activation, forms a strong, long lasting, highly adhesive bond  Brown paper tape is widely used in the craft and framing industry as picture framers  Sticks to all carton surfaces  Strong resistance to moisture and humidity  60gsm paper tape with a natural rubber adhesive.  Can be written on – Great for packing, masking, picture framing, craft, packaging, gift wrapping, parcels sealing and more To advertise self-adhesive tapes as biodegradable or/and compostable, is misleading. Please note that ALL self-adhesive tapes cannot be left in landfill, they need to be processed via an industrial recycling centre; they are not biodegradable and they are not compostable due to material used for the adhesives (Hotmelt, solvent, natural rubber). However, there exist various levels of sustainability between self-adhesive tapes. For instance, kraft paper tapes are greener than framer’s tape as they use kraft paper whilst the later use saturated paper (soaked in an emulsion). In terms of adhesive, Solvent adhesive paper tapes use more fossil materials than natural rubber adhesives. The only paper tapes which are biodegradable and compostable are water activated tapes. Water activated tapes use adhesive made from natural starch (potatoes etc). They can be return in nature as they will simply transformed in their natural state (i.e. soil)
