The packaged food market is a trillion-dollar industry, and it continues to grow. Fast, convenient, and on-the-go snacking is just one of the applications. Cereals, milk, nuts, juice, and canned fruit have one thing in common: they come in various types of packaging closed with food-safe adhesive solutions.
All different food types – from pantry basics, fresh dairy products, and snacks to beverages and canned goods – have unique characteristics that are reflected in their versatile packaging and sealing that our tesa® tape range provides. Plastic bags, cans, beverage cartons, and their transport have diverse adhesive needs that we strive to meet with our tesa® products. Reseal your packaging to avoid food waste, prevent leakages with airtight seams, and carry your products home with reliable, cushioned handles for heavy lifting.
Our adhesive solutions are as diverse as the food packaging market. Ripping packages open and picking food off the floor are a thing of the past. Our easy-to-open and resealable solutions reduce food waste and keep food fresh for longer by keeping your goods inside the packaging – where they belong. Innovative knifeless carton opening makes the customer’s life easy and avoids frustration from damaged goods. What is in it for you? A happy customer equals strong brand loyalty.
The inner packaging is the lifeblood of the food manufacturing industry. It shows the contents, brand, and ingredients and is the premier selling point for the customer. Convenient packaging and handling influence this buying decision.

Single- and double-sided resealable bag closures are a food-safe and convenient way to handle household basics and treats.
