We sincerely invite you to visit us at Interpack Düsseldorf 2026 in Germany. Our team will be showcasing our latest innovations, including our automated WAT case sealers and 100% degradable reinforced water-activated tapes.    It is a great opportunity to explore our new industrial tape solutions and discuss how they can benefit your operations.    We look forward to seeing you at Booth 70A07 from May 7th to 13th, 2026.

In modern logistics planning, we often let the location of electrical outlets dictate the layout of our packaging lines. We tether our packers to walls or drop dangerous extension cords from ceilings, limiting flexibility. The KN-266 Manual Water-Activated Tape Dispenser challenges this rigid approach by offering a simple, powerful advantage: it requires absolutely no electricity to operate. This independence transforms it from a stationary machine into a mobile asset. You can mount it on a rolling cart, take it deep into the warehouse aisles for "pick-and-pack" operations, or set up temporary packing stations on a loading dock during peak season rushes—all without looking for a power strip.   There is a misconception that "manual" means "low-tech" or "imprecise," but the KN-266 proves otherwise. It is a precision mechanical instrument. While it doesn't use an electric motor to feed the tape, it utilizes a sophisticated lever system that allows the operator to dispense the exact length required—down to the inch—with a single, smooth motion. The integrated water reservoir and high-grade brush system ensure that the starch adhesive is fully activated just as effectively as an electric machine. This means you get the high-security, tamper-evident seal of gummed tape in a location where an electric machine simply couldn't function, such as inside a shipping container or in an outdoor staging area.   Furthermore, the "no electricity" feature makes the KN-266 exceptionally reliable and low maintenance. There are no solenoids to burn out, no sensors to calibrate, and no circuit boards to fail in humid environments. It is purely mechanical engineering—gears, blades, and levers. For facility managers, this translates to zero downtime due to power outages or electrical faults. Whether you are dealing with a blackout or simply need a machine that can work as hard as your team does in any corner of the facility, the KN-266 provides the freedom to pack where the work is, not just where the power is.

  If you work in general packaging, you might look at this picture and just see a roll of heavy-duty tape. But for those of us in infrastructure and heavy engineering, the JLT-5160 represents a specific tool for a specific problem: how to hold massive, shifting loads without snapping. When you are bundling steel cables for a suspension bridge or securing pre-stressed concrete molds, standard fiberglass tape often fails. Not because it isn't strong enough, but because it's too brittle. It doesn't give.   The JLT-5160 is different. While it sits in our filament tape category, we engineered this specifically for scenarios like the bridge construction site shown in the image. The key here isn't just the raw tensile strength; it's the shock absorption. In these environments, materials expand, contract, and vibrate. A rigid tape that doesn't stretch will shear off under that kind of dynamic stress. This tape is built with a specialized fiber reinforcement—often utilizing high-performance chemical fibers or modified fiberglass blends—that allows for a much higher elongation at break (around 25-28%) compared to the standard 3-5% of regular packaging tapes.   Think of it as a shock absorber versus a steel rod. When a heavy steel bundle shifts during transport to the construction site, the JLT-5160 stretches slightly to absorb that kinetic energy and then holds tight. It doesn't pop. The PET backing is also significantly thicker here, usually around 7.8 mils, because it needs to resist abrasion against rough concrete and rusted steel surfaces. In the field, we often see this tape replacing steel strapping because it doesn't rust, it doesn't cut into the product, and frankly, it's safer for workers to cut and remove without risking injury from snapping metal bands.   So, when you see JLT-5160 specified for a project, it’s not because they needed a "sticker." It’s because they needed a flexible, high-tensile restraint system that acts more like an industrial seatbelt than a piece of stationery. It is about keeping tons of steel and concrete exactly where they are supposed to be until the permanent fixtures take over.

  In the current logistics landscape, packaging tape is no longer just a closure method; it is the first line of defense against product loss and brand dilution. The image provided illustrates a roll of Reinforced Water-Activated Tape (WAT), easily identifiable by the distinct grid pattern of fiberglass strands embedded within the kraft paper. From an industry perspective, the increasing adoption of this specific tape model—such as our JLN-3150 or KN-37120 series—signals a broader shift in e-commerce and industrial shipping towards "tamper-evident" security standards. Unlike pressure-sensitive plastic tapes that sit on the surface of a carton and can be peeled back and re-stuck without detection, the starch-based adhesive on this reinforced tape penetrates the corrugated fibers. Once dried, the tape becomes structurally one with the box, making any attempt at pilferage immediately visible as the box surface itself must be destroyed to open it.   Structurally, the tape shown in the image represents a significant engineering upgrade over standard paper tapes. The visible diamond or cross-weave pattern is formed by fiberglass reinforcement sandwiched between layers of high-strength kraft paper. In logistics analysis, this feature addresses the "bursting strength" required for modern shipping, where packages are subjected to automated sorting systems, drops, and high-stacking pressures. The fiberglass reinforcement acts similarly to rebar in concrete, distributing mechanical stress across the tape's surface rather than allowing it to concentrate at the seam. This prevents the "popping" effect often seen with standard tapes when a heavy box is dropped or compressed, reducing the rate of returns due to shipping damage—a key metric for operational efficiency.   Furthermore, the integration of this tape into automated packaging lines reflects the industry's move toward higher throughput and consistency. While the tape requires water for activation, modern dispensers—like the KN series shown in our equipment lineup—automate this process, measuring, wetting, and cutting the tape in fractions of a second. This combination of machine and material ensures that every box is sealed with the exact amount of tape required, reducing material waste compared to the manual application of plastic tape where operators often apply multiple strips for perceived security. For supply chain managers, the transition to reinforced WAT is not just an environmental choice but a calculation of total cost of ownership, balancing material cost against the savings from reduced theft, lower damage rates, and increased packing speed.

In the bustling warehouse environment captured in the image, where pallets are stacked high and efficiency is paramount, the choice of sealing material defines the safety of the entire shipment. The product featured here—Reinforced Water-Activated Tape—is not merely a consumable; it is a strategic packaging asset designed to address the three biggest pain points in modern logistics: theft, breakage, and operational speed. As seen in the photo, the tape lays flat and integrates seamlessly with the carton, but its true value lies in the engineering hidden within the paper.   The defining characteristic of this tape, visible as the distinct parallel lines running along the roll in the image, is its fiberglass reinforcement. In our product series, such as the JLN-3150 and KN-37120, we embed a network of fiberglass strands between layers of high-tensile kraft paper. This reinforcement acts like a skeleton, providing exceptional tensile strength that allows the tape to withstand the shocks, drops, and stacking pressures typical of supply chains. Unlike standard plastic tapes that can stretch or snap under tension, our reinforced tape maintains the box's structural integrity, ensuring that heavy items remain securely contained from the warehouse floor to the customer's doorstep.   Beyond physical strength, this tape offers unmatched security through its chemical bonding process. Utilizing a starch-based adhesive system, the tape does not simply sit on the surface of the box; once activated by water, it penetrates the corrugated fibers, effectively welding the tape to the carton. This creates a permanent, tamper-evident seal. As shown on the sealed box in the foreground of the image, the seal is clean and absolute. Any attempt to remove the tape will result in visible destruction of the box surface, providing an immediate deterrent to pilferage—a critical feature for shipping electronics, pharmaceuticals, or high-value retail goods.   Switching to Reinforced Water-Activated Tape also drives operational efficiency. Because of the aggressive bond and fiberglass strength, a single strip is often all that is needed to seal a carton, eliminating the wasteful "double-taping" often required with weaker pressure-sensitive tapes. This "one-strip seal" method not only reduces material consumption but also speeds up the packing line, especially when paired with our automated dispensers. For businesses looking to professionalize their packaging while ensuring their products arrive safe and sound, this reinforced solution is the industry gold standard.

If you look closely at the tape in the image, you will notice a distinct diamond-shaped grid pattern running through the kraft paper. This is not a design choice for aesthetics; it is the structural backbone of Reinforced Water Activated Tape (WAT). In our product catalog, this category, represented by models like the JLN-3150, is engineered for scenarios where a simple paper seal is not enough. The visible grid is composed of fiberglass strands sandwiched between two layers of high-strength kraft paper. While standard paper tape relies solely on the fiber strength of the paper itself, the inclusion of this fiberglass network acts similarly to rebar in concrete, drastically increasing the tape's tensile strength and preventing it from snapping under the pressure of a heavy or overstuffed carton.   The second critical component of this tape, though invisible in the image until applied, is the adhesive system. Unlike pressure-sensitive plastic tapes that rely on synthetic chemical tack to sit on top of a box's surface, this tape utilizes a starch-based adhesive. As seen in the application photo, once the tape is wetted and applied, it does not just stick; it creates a permanent bond. The dissolved starch penetrates deep into the corrugated fibers of the carton, effectively "welding" the tape to the box. This creates a tamper-evident seal, meaning that if someone attempts to peel the tape off to pilfer the contents, the box surface will tear, leaving visible evidence of tampering. For industries shipping electronics, automotive parts, or heavy industrial goods, this combination of fiberglass reinforcement for strength and starch adhesive for security makes it the superior choice over standard plastic packing tape.

When we encounter packaging challenges that require more than just a simple seal—such as bundling steel pipes, securing appliance doors during transit, or palletizing heavy cardboard boxes—standard plastic tapes often fall short. This is where Filament Tape comes into play. As shown in the image, this tape is easily recognizable by the visible strands of fiberglass embedded within the adhesive layer. These strands act like the steel rebar in concrete, providing exceptional tensile strength that prevents the tape from snapping under high stress. In our product catalog, these are categorized under the JLT (Uni-Directional) and JLW (Bi-Directional) series, designed specifically for scenarios where material integrity and load stability are non-negotiable.   The structural core of our filament tape typically consists of a PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) or BOPP backing paired with a synthetic rubber or hot melt adhesive. The defining feature, however, is the reinforcement. For applications requiring strength primarily in one direction—such as bundling tubes or holding coils—we recommend our Uni-Directional Filament Tapes like the JLT-602 or JLT-602A. The JLT-602A, for instance, offers heavy-duty tensile strength up to 850 N/25mm, making it capable of handling significant mechanical loads with minimal elongation (3-5%). For more complex sealing needs where stress might come from multiple angles, our Bi-Directional (Cross-Weave) tapes, such as the JLW-325, utilize a fiberglass grid pattern that prevents the tape from splitting longitudinally, providing a secure "H" seal for heavy cartons.   The tagline in the image, "Ship with Sustainability," highlights an often-overlooked aspect of high-strength industrial tapes: material efficiency. Because filament tapes like our JLT-605 possess such high tensile strength and aggressive adhesion, a single strip is often sufficient to secure a load that would otherwise require multiple layers of standard packing tape. Furthermore, we offer specialized variations like the "Clean Removal" series (e.g., JLT-607A), which are specifically engineered for the appliance and furniture industries. These tapes hold moving parts like refrigerator doors or printer trays securely during shipping but can be peeled off cleanly by the end consumer without leaving the messy adhesive residue associated with cheaper alternatives, thereby reducing the need for cleaning solvents and preventing surface damage.   Ultimately, choosing the right filament tape is about matching the tensile strength and adhesive properties to your specific industrial application. Whether you need the extreme holding power of the JLT-6614 for bridge construction and steel bundling, or the balanced performance of the JLT-602 for general packaging, these tapes provide the structural confidence that your goods will arrive intact. By utilizing a tape engineered for durability, you minimize the risk of product damage and return...

Based on the visual evidence of the smooth, uniform surface in the image and the technical specifications from our catalog, the tape featured is the JLN-2740H Self-Adhesive Kraft Paper Tape. This product is designed to bridge the gap between the aesthetic demands of sustainable packaging and the operational need for speed. Unlike water-activated tapes that require a dispenser to moisten the adhesive, the JLN-2740H utilizes a high-tack hot melt adhesive system. This allows for immediate application without water, making it an ideal solution for manual packaging stations or low-volume shipping environments where efficiency and ease of use are paramount.   The construction of the JLN-2740H features a 70g/m² kraft paper backing , which provides a total thickness of approximately 4.9 mils (0.125 mm). As seen in the image, the tape lacks the cross-weave pattern of reinforced tapes, indicating it is a non-reinforced model intended for light-duty sealing. Despite being a "light-duty" option, the technical data indicates a tensile strength of 90 N/25mm (20 lbs/in), which is sufficient for securely sealing standard corrugated cartons, envelopes, and lightweight parcels. The hot melt adhesive provides a peel adhesion of 21 N/25mm, ensuring a strong initial grab that prevents the "pop-up" effect often seen with lower-quality plastic tapes on recycled cardboard.   Visually and functionally, this tape offers a distinct advantage for brands focused on the unboxing experience. The natural brown color blends seamlessly with standard cardboard boxes, creating a monolithic, premium look that plastic tape cannot achieve. Furthermore, because it is self-adhesive, it can be used with standard hand-held tape dispensers, eliminating the need for investment in electric water-activated tape machines. For businesses looking to move away from BOPP plastic films while maintaining the speed of a pressure-sensitive tape, the JLN-2740H offers a practical, reliable, and aesthetically pleasing alternative.

In the industrial packaging sector, the term "Eco Tape" is often used loosely, but for a manufacturer, it refers to a specific engineering challenge: replacing non-degradable synthetic components with renewable alternatives without sacrificing tensile strength. The product shown in the image represents our solution to this challenge—a 100% degradable reinforced water-activated tape. While standard reinforced tapes rely on fiberglass strands to prevent snapping under heavy loads, this eco-friendly iteration utilizes plant-based yarn. This material innovation allows the tape to maintain the heavy-duty bundling and sealing capabilities required for logistics while ensuring that the entire packaging solution—box and seal combined—can return to the earth without leaving microplastic residue. The "Eco" designation in our product line, specifically models like the JLN-3150E or KN-37120E, is defined by its complete material composition. The backing is robust kraft paper, the adhesive is a plant-derived starch formulation that bonds permanently with corrugated cartons, and the reinforcement grid is made from biodegradable plant fibers rather than glass or polyester. This structural design solves a critical recycling bottleneck: standard fiberglass tapes must be filtered out during the paper repulping process, whereas our degradable water-activated tapes can be processed directly with the carton or composted. For businesses shipping heavy goods, this means achieving the high-security, tamper-evident seal of a traditional reinforced tape while fully aligning with zero-waste and circular economy protocols.
