Fachpack 2006: tesa® assortment for handle reinforcement

Firmer hold, greater efficiency, more possibilities for box packaging

Efficient, flexible, and yet sophisticated solutions to reinforce the handles of cardboard packages are gaining importance in the corrugated cardboard industry: Even when a box is under high strain, it has to be able to be carried securely. At the same time, handle reinforcements must not negatively affect the design and must be easy to manage during the production process.

Fachpack 2006

tesa offers clients in the packaging industry a comprehensive assortment of tapes that can be used to reinforce the handles of cardboard packages efficiently. Included in this assortment are customized solutions for all types of packaging and handles.

The selection includes three kinds of tape each for sealing and opening packages, as well as three special tapes, including products developed for use in the paper and print industry. All the tapes can be integrated easily into the production process among manufacturers of corrugated cardboard and require only short set-up periods. In addition, they are easy to position on the cardboard packaging and can be processed securely at very high speeds.

tesa’s solutions offer several advantages at once, both for processing and for the end consumer. For example, the tapes are not visible from the outside of the packaging, because they are processed exclusively on the interior side. In addition, because they provide reinforcement only where it is really needed, lower-strength cardboard can be used without there being any negative effect on the stability of the packaging. This opens up practically unlimited possibilities for new designs and printing.

Working closely with leading machine manufacturers, tesa also offers complete system solutions for processing as well as advising and technical support in the implementation of individual packaging solutions.
