Filament Tape

Filament tape is a pressure-sensitive material consisting of a pressure-sensitive adhesive coated onto a backing material which is usually a polypropylene or polyester film and fiberglass filaments embedded to add high tensile strength. Due to these properties it allows for bundling applications, carton closing and sealing reinforcement package, unitizing loads, and securing products during shipment. Strapping tapes have reinforcements of tensilized polyproylne, polyester yarn or glass yarn filaments. It is also called the strapping tape. Filament tape is most often used as a closure for corrugated boxes such as a full overlap box, five-panel folder, full telescope box.
