Reinforced paper packaging tape is now FSC®-certified

Technologies

We are committed to sustainability. With the upgrade of tesa® 60013, all tesa® paper carton sealing tapes now have an FSC®-certified backing.

tesa® 60013 is a reinforced paper packaging tape that was developed for the heaviest packaging needs. When it was launched in September 2021, the fiber glass reinforced paper backing was an innovation, and it still is the strongest paper-based tape in our assortment. Compared to filmic packaging tapes, it offers an outstanding performance and the additional advantage that it does not harm the cardboard recycling according to INGEDE Method 12. We have now changed our supply chain and switched successfully to a responsibly sourced paper backing according to FSC®-standards, thus supporting responsible forestry.

Features of tesa® 60013

Reinforced paper packaging tape

  • The main application of the tesa® 60013 reinforced paper packaging tape is the secure sealing of cardboard boxes. With its high tensile strength, it is suitable for light, medium and heavy cartons up to 25 kg. As it is easy to unwind and can be applied with manual and automatic dispensers, it is also very comfortable to use.
  • tesa® 60013 has a high-performance hot melt adhesive with aggressive tack and a kraft paper backing that is reinforced with bi-directional fiberglass. The adhesive has a special formula that provides superior adhesion to all types of cardboard. After curing, the bond between the reinforced paper tape and the cardboard is so strong that it cannot be removed without visible damage to the cardboard. tesa® 60013 consequently has tamper-evident characteristics as well.

With these features, tesa® 60013 is a more sustainable alternative to filmic packaging tapes. As a more sustainable product, it can help companies achieve their own sustainability goals and position themselves as a more responsible brand.
