Versatile paper tapes
for industry

Quick overview

Paper tapes are adhesive tapes that are easy to hand-tear or cut as needed. They can be applied to a variety of surfaces and some of them can be easily removed. Our tesa^® paper tapes have applications across many industries, e.g. for packaging, masking, and splicing.

Our portfolio includes flat, creped, and washi paper tapes for specialist and general industry masking applications indoors and outdoors.

Our tesa^® high-performance paper tapes are, for example, widely used for specialist masking applications in the automotive or transportation sector. They are also used more widely across manufacturing and other sectors for more sustainable carton sealing solutions.

In the paper production very often reinforcement and tear tapes are being used, which can be paper based also.

Masking in multiple industries

At tesa, we are a key provider of adhesive solutions for masking in the automotive industry and all manufacturing processes. Paper tapes are a versatile option during coating and painting processes. They reliably protect surfaces from overspray and create precise, clean edges. These low-adhesion tapes are easily removed after the painting process without damaging the underlying surface.

Washi flat-backed adhesive masking tape is ultra-thin and adapts exceptionally well to a variety of surfaces to create flat, razor-sharp paint edges. This makes it an ideal choice for demanding precision painting and lacquering environments, resulting in improved efficiency and no reworks.

Paper tapes for paper production, printing and corrugators

Paper-based splicing tapes for paper production and paper printing improve efficiency with automated flying splice and permanent splice adhesive solutions. Choose from our range of repulpable paper splicing tape options.

To support recyclability of packaging, we offer a paper-based tear tape for efficient opening of lightweight boxes, packages, or mailing bags made of corrugated board, cardboard, or paper. Our paper-based reinforcement tape adds strength to lightweight packaging where needed, while at the same time ensuring recyclability of the used box.

Sandblasting

Our paper-based sandblasting tapes are designed for use in demanding applications, such as sandblasting and grinding. They are extremely durable with hard-wearing edges to withstand these processes, yet easy to remove after use.
