When choosing tape for corrugated cardboard boxes, the end-of-life recycling process is often overlooked. Traditional BOPP packaging tapes cause significant plastic pollution. While standard water-activated tapes reinforced with glass fiber address the plastic issue, they introduce new challenges. Glass fiber is inorganic and does not decompose during paper recycling, requiring separation at the p...
Cardboard box cracking and damage during transportation almost always originates from the adhesive tape, not the corrugated cardboard itself. This research dictates the design logic of our water-activated kraft paper tape products, with each parameter corresponding to a suitable weight failure mode, from the 126 g/m² JLN-3140 light-duty tape to the 176 g/m² KN-37120 heavy-duty tape. &nbs...
