Visual guide showing how to use splicing tape by avoiding full-width application to ensure proper adhesion

01Check splitting strip

 

The splitting strips are delicate parts of the product.
Make sure the splitting strip is not damaged before you apply tesa® EasySplice.

Instruction illustrating how to use splicing tape by not applying it across the full width of the roll to ensure proper adhesion and performance

02Don’t apply tape to the full width of the roll

 

When you apply tesa® EasySplice, leave a gap of about one thumb’s width to the edge of the roll, to avoid exposed adhesive running through the machine.

03Use a squeegee

 

Always use a squeegee when applying tesa® EasySplice to avoid premature opening and flying snippets. 

Step showing how to use splicing tape by trimming the edges for a clean and precise finish

04Trim the edges

 

To avoid damage to the web, trim the paper’s edges on both sides of tesa® EasySplice to avoid air pockets underneath the unsecured edges.

Instruction on how to use splicing tape by checking the length of the flag on the expiring web for optimal performance

05Check length of flag of the expiring web

 

Make sure that the flag is approximately as long as the distance between the bumper/contact roller and the knife.
This will help to have the best bond between two webs. 

Guideline explaining how to use splicing tape by selecting a wider tesa® EasySplice for high-speed applications

06Use a wider tesa® EasySplice for high speeds

 

For higher machine speeds, we recommend using tesa® EasySplice in a wide width to make sure there is enough adhesive contact area for a reliable splice. 

Process step illustrating how to use splicing tape by synchronizing reel speeds for seamless splicing

07Synchronize speeds

 

Make sure the speeds of the new and old reel are synchronized.
This is essential for a secure contact between the two reels.

08Don’t cover the contact adhesive

 

Don’t cover the open contact adhesive if you use reinforcement tape or liquid glue in addition to our tesa® EasySplice.
It might negatively influence the adhesive’s performance.
