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.

You know that look.   You get a package from a high-end brand or a boutique shop. It’s sealed with that nice, matte brown paper tape. It looks sustainable, it looks premium, and it feels much better than that shiny, screechy plastic stuff.   So, you think, "I want my packages to look like that."   But then you do some research and realize that traditional paper tape (the water-activated kind) requires a dispenser, a water reservoir, and a bit of technique to get right. If you are just shipping fifty boxes a day, or if you are working from a small packing station, you might not want to deal with wet sponges and drying times.   This is exactly why the JLN-2740 exists.   The Best of Both Worlds   The JLN-2740 is what we call Self-Adhesive Kraft Tape.   Think of it as a hybrid. It has the backing of standard kraft paper—so it blends in perfectly with your cardboard boxes—but the adhesive is a synthetic rubber (hot melt), just like standard plastic packing tape.   This means you don't need water.   You can put this roll on a standard handheld tape gun, or even just rip it by hand. You slap it on, rub it down, and you are done. You get 90% of that "eco-friendly" aesthetic with zero investment in new machinery.   Why People Actually Buy It   It’s Quiet: We don't talk about this enough, but plastic tape is loud. In a small office or a boutique, that SCREECH every time you pull a strip is annoying. Kraft tape unrolls smoothly and silently.   Real Talk: Know Its Limits   Now, I’m going to be honest with you because I don't want you to buy the wrong tool.   The JLN-2740 is not for heavy lifting.   Unlike the reinforced tapes (like the 37120 or 3150 we talked about before), this tape has no fiberglass in it. It is just paper and glue. It has a decent hold (around 30-40 oz/in adhesion), but it doesn't have the tensile strength to hold a 40lb box of auto parts together if it gets dropped.   Who is this for? It is for the e-commerce shop shipping clothing, cosmetics, snacks, or lightweight gifts. It is for the fulfillment center that needs to cover up old labels on reused boxes. It is for anyone who wants their unboxing experience to whisper "quality" rather than shout "cheap plastic."   The Verdict   If you are shipping anvils, buy the reinforced stuff. But if you are shipping style? The JLN-2740 is the easiest upgrade you can make to your packaging line today.

We have all had that moment on the packing line.   You just finished sealing a carton full of auto parts, hardware, or maybe a stack of textbooks. It’s heavy. You look at that single strip of tape across the top, and you hold your breath. You think, “Is that actually going to hold until it gets to the customer?”   If that box is over 30 lbs (15kg) or heading into a rough distribution network, standard tape is just a gamble. That is exactly why we keep the JLN-37120 in our catalog.   It’s Not for T-Shirts   Let’s be clear about positioning: The JLN-37120 is Heavy Duty.   You can feel the difference just by picking up the roll. It’s thicker. It’s stiffer. While standard gummed tape might have a basic reinforcement layer, the 37120 is built with a dense, high-tensile fiberglass grid sandwiched between two layers of premium kraft paper.   Think of it as putting a skeleton inside your packaging. Whether that box gets dropped off a truck or crushed at the bottom of a pallet stack, the logic of this tape is simple: The box might fail, but the seal won’t.   Stop the "Mummy Wrap"   We see it all the time with plastic tape. When a box is heavy, packers get nervous. They start wrapping the box like a mummy—three strips across, two strips down the side—just hoping it stays closed.   With the JLN-37120, that is a waste of time and money.   Because this tape uses a starch-based adhesive that literally "welds" to the corrugated fibers, combined with that fiberglass backbone, you only need one strip. That’s it. One strip down the center seam provides more security than six strips of cheap plastic tape ever could.   When Should You Use It?   The Heavyweights: If you are shipping industrial parts, liquids, or dense materials. If the box feels heavy to lift, it needs 37120.   High-Value Goods: If there is an expensive laptop or component inside, you need theft protection. This tape is tamper-evident. You can’t peel it off without destroying the box, which stops pilfering dead in its tracks.   Export & Sea Freight: Shipping containers are harsh environments. They get hot, they get humid. Unlike pressure-sensitive tapes that can peel off over time, the bond on the 37120 is permanent and isn't afraid of a little humidity.   The Bottom Line   If you have been in logistics long enough, you know that "cheap" tape is actually the most expensive thing you can buy. One broken box, one damaged product return, or one lost customer costs way more than investing in a decent roll of tape.   The JLN-37120 is the kind of product that lets you seal the box, ship it, and sleep soundly at night.   That’s the kind of security we’re talking about.

In the packaging world, there is a tendency to always upsell to the "strongest" product available. But let's be honest: if you are shipping t-shirts, cosmetics, or lightweight snacks, you don't need the same tape used to bundle steel pipes. You need security, yes, but you also need to protect your profit margins. This is exactly where the JLN-3100 fits into the market. It is the "Goldilocks" solution in our reinforced tape lineup—strong enough to secure your brand, but priced for high-volume, standard shipping.   What makes it different? The JLN-3100 is defined as our Economy Grade Reinforced Water-Activated Tape. Visually, it looks very similar to its heavier cousins (like the JLN-3150), featuring the classic kraft paper look and a visible fiberglass grid. However, the engineering is tuned for efficiency. It typically uses a slightly lighter weight kraft paper and a more open fiberglass mesh pattern. This reduction in raw material mass lowers the cost per roll significantly, making it competitive with standard plastic tape, yet it retains the crucial "fiber-tearing bond." Once the starch adhesive activates and dries, this tape still becomes one with the box. You get the tamper-evident security—where the box tears if someone tries to open it—without paying for heavy-duty reinforcement you don't actually need.   Who should use it? We recommend the JLN-3100 specifically for light-to-medium duty cartons, typically those weighing under 10kg (22 lbs). It is the ideal upgrade for businesses currently using pressure-sensitive plastic tape (BOPP) who want to move towards a more professional, eco-friendly look without breaking the bank. For an online clothing retailer or a subscription box service, the JLN-3100 offers that premium "unboxing experience"—a clean, branded look with no plastic noise—while maintaining the operational speed of water-activated tape.   The Bottom Line Packaging is about matching the tool to the job. Using a heavy-duty tape on a light box is just throwing money away. The JLN-3100 allows you to standardize your packaging line with a professional, secure, and recyclable-friendly seal, ensuring you are paying for the safety of your product, not for unnecessary specs.

In the hierarchy of adhesive tapes, if standard packaging tape is a string, the JLT-609 is a steel cable. Listed in our catalog as a Mono-Directional Filament Tape, this product is not designed for sealing cardboard boxes; it is engineered for the heavy industrial sector where the primary objective is load containment. When you are dealing with materials that have significant mass and kinetic energy—such as steel coils, metal pipes, or heavy lumber—you cannot rely on a tape that stretches. The JLT-609 is built to solve exactly this problem: providing a rigid, high-tensile hold that keeps heavy, shifting loads securely bundled together during transport. The structural integrity of the JLT-609 comes from its specific composition. It features a PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) film backing reinforced with continuous fiberglass yarn running longitudinally (mono-directional). This construction gives it immense tensile strength in the machine direction, allowing it to act effectively like a plastic strap but with the convenience of an adhesive tape. The adhesive system used is a synthetic rubber resin (Hot Melt), which provides high initial tack. This is crucial for industrial packers who need the tape to grab onto smooth, sometimes oily metal surfaces instantly without lifting or flagging, ensuring that the bundle stays tight from the moment it is applied. While many filament tapes look similar, the JLT-609 is positioned as a heavy-duty generalist. It balances high tensile strength with durability against abrasion. In practical application, we see this model used extensively for "L-clip" and "C-clip" closures on heavy corrugated boxes, but its true home is in bundling. Whether it is securing loose conduit pipes or reinforcing pallet loads that are prone to shifting, the JLT-609 provides the assurance that the load will remain unitary. For procurement managers in the metalworking or construction supply industries, choosing JLT-609 means replacing the risk of snapped bands and damaged goods with a reliable, high-performance adhesive solution.

In the world of industrial packaging, there has historically been a rigid trade-off between sustainability and strength. If you needed to seal a heavy, overstuffed carton for export, you used fiberglass-reinforced tape because it was the only material strong enough to survive the journey. However, the KN-37120E (often inquired about as the 37120 series) fundamentally challenges this limitation. As listed in our technical specifications, this model is a Heavy Duty Reinforced Water-Activated Tape that is 100% degradable. It eliminates the non-recyclable fiberglass mesh found in traditional tapes and replaces it with a robust network of plant-based yarn, allowing high-volume logistics centers to maintain their heavy-duty sealing standards while achieving zero-plastic waste goals.   The engineering behind the KN-37120E is what sets it apart from standard eco-friendly tapes, which are often relegated to light-duty applications. According to our technical data sheet, this tape is constructed with a substantial paper backing composition, combining a 40g/m² top layer with a 70g/m² bottom layer. This dual-layer kraft structure provides the necessary physical bulk and puncture resistance required for heavy industrial handling. Inside this paper "sandwich" lies the critical innovation: a high-density reinforcement grid made entirely of plant-based yarn. We utilize 600D (Denier) yarn in the machine direction (MD) and 200D yarn in the cross direction (CD). This 600D rating in the longitudinal direction is significantly thicker and stronger than the yarn used in our lighter degradable models (like the JLN-3150E, which uses 300D yarn), giving the KN-37120E the tensile power needed to bundle pipes, heavy auto parts, or bulk textiles without snapping.   From an operational perspective, switching to the KN-37120E does not require a change in machinery or process. It utilizes the same starch-based adhesive system as our standard tapes , which activates immediately with water to form a permanent, tamper-proof bond with the carton fibers. The difference is purely in the end-of-life cycle. When a customer receives a box sealed with KN-37120E, they do not need to separate the tape from the cardboard for recycling. The entire package—box and seal—is mono-material and fully repulpable. For brands looking to make a serious commitment to sustainability without risking product damage during heavy transit, the KN-37120E proves that plant-based materials are ready for the heavy lifting.

Anyone involved in the logistics of furniture and home appliances knows that the damage often doesn't come from the outside; it comes from the inside. A sliding drawer that opens during transit, a cabinet door that swings loose, or a glass shelf that rattles—these internal movements are a primary cause of returns and damages. The industry solution is to tape these parts down, but this creates a secondary problem: "tape residue." There is nothing worse for a customer than unboxing a premium mahogany dresser or a sleek refrigerator only to spend an hour scraping off sticky adhesive marks left by cheap packaging tape. This is specifically why we engineered the JLT-615. The JLT-615 is a Mono-Directional Filament Tape designed with a very specific chemical property: "Clean Removal." While it possesses the robust tensile strength of standard fiberglass tapes—rated at 850 N/25mm—to ensure that heavy drawers and doors remain immobilized even under the vibration of a moving truck, its adhesive system is different. We utilize a specialized synthetic rubber formula that provides high initial tack to grab the surface instantly but is engineered to peel away cohesively. This means when the end-user removes the tape, the adhesive stays on the backing, not on your furniture. It protects the finish of wood, metal, painted surfaces, and glass, ensuring the product looks exactly as it did when it left the factory floor. From a structural standpoint, the JLT-615 features a PET backing reinforced with fiberglass strands. This combination offers a 3-5% elongation at break, providing just enough "give" to absorb shock without snapping. For furniture manufacturers, this tape serves as a temporary structural component during shipping. It effectively locks moving parts in place, replacing the need for cumbersome foam blocks or excessive plastic wrap. By switching to a dedicated "Appliance and Furniture Holding" tape like the JLT-615, you are not just securing your cargo; you are protecting your brand's reputation by ensuring the unboxing experience is clean, professional, and frustration-free.

  In high-volume packaging environments, the biggest enemy of efficiency is not slow packers, but frequent interruptions. The machine pictured here, the KN-366HL, is our answer to that specific bottleneck. While it shares the sleek, grey industrial chassis and digital interface of our standard electric series, the "HL" designation stands for "Large". Visually, you can see the expanded side profile compared to standard desktop units. This enlarged capacity is engineered for facilities that push thousands of cartons a day and cannot afford to stop every hour to replace a depleted tape roll. By accommodating larger diameter tape rolls, the KN-366HL significantly extends the intervals between changeovers, keeping your lines moving when it matters most.   Under the hood, the KN-366HL retains the sophisticated "brain" that makes our electric series a favorite among operations managers. It features our IntelliSense cutting technology, which ensures precise tape delivery regardless of load. The interface allows for 12 preset tape lengths, fully programmable with a tolerance of just ±5mm. This is critical for standardization; it ensures that whether a packer is sealing a small component box or a large master carton, they are using the exact amount of material required—no waste, no guessing. Furthermore, the machine helps track productivity with an automatic feature that records the total length of tape dispensed daily, providing managers with real data to audit material usage and packer efficiency.   For fast-paced conveyor lines, the "Auto-dispensing" mode is a game-changer. As specified in our catalog, this machine can be set to automatically dispense the next piece of tape every 3 seconds. This effectively sets a rhythm for the packer, removing the need to manually press a button for every seal. It transforms the packing station from a reactive process to a proactive flow. When you combine this speed with the machine's large roll capacity, you get a workstation that is optimized for continuous, heavy-duty throughput. The KN-366HL is not just a dispenser; it is an infrastructure upgrade for businesses ready to scale their fulfillment operations.

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.
