Stick Tapes Private Limited

Filament tape or strapping tape is a pressure-sensitive tape used for several packaging functions such as closing corrugated fiberboard boxes, reinforcing packages, bundling items, pallet unitizing, etc. It consists 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. It was invented in 1946 by Cyrus W. Bemmels, a scientist working for Johnson and Johnson.

A variety of grades of filament tape are available. Some have as much as 600 pounds of tensile strength per inch of width. Different types and grades of adhesive are also available.

Most often, the tape is 12 mm (approx. 1/2 inch) to 24 mm (approx. 1 inch) wide, but it is also used in other widths.

BOPP (Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene) tape is a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape made from polypropylene film that has been stretched in both the machine and transverse directions, enhancing its strength and clarity. It's widely used in packaging, sealing, and various industrial applications due to its durability and versatility.
