Acrylic Carton Sealing Tape

Acrylic packaging tape is ideal for long-term storage because it resists yellowing because of oxidation.

Acrylic packaging tapes, on the other hand, offer a wider temperature range than that of the hot melt tapes, ranging from 32*F to 140*F. An acrylic tape is ideal for applications that involve low and/or high humidity conditions, as well as long term storage. Acrylic tapes also have a stronger resistance to oxidation, allowing it to to be uninfluenced by exposure to sunlight, meaning it won't yellow like hot melt packaging tape does.

• Can only be purchased in hand-grade rolls
• Often considered more of an "economy grade" packaging tape
• Available inclear, tan, and colored rolls; sold in "by the case" quantities
• Examples of usage: Long-term storage in varying temperatures, lightweight carton sealing/carton closing

• Hot melt tapes offer exceptional adhesion strength, flexibility, and performs well in varying applications.
• Acrylic tapes are ideal for packaging applications involving extreme temperatures, such as refrigeration, and for sealing boxes that will be warehoused over a long period of time.
• Hot melt tapes can yellow with age, whereas an acrylic tape is less likely to yellow over time.
• Machine grade hot melt tapes generally perform more reliably than machine grade acrylic tapes.
• Both acrylic packaging tape and hot melt carton sealing tapes are comparable in price, offering both premium and economical grades.
