1.Printed tapes are adhesive products designed to combine practical labeling, branding, and protective functions in a single solution. Here’s a focused breakdown for clarity:
2.Core Components
Base Material
Plastics: Polyester (PET) for high strength, PVC for flexibility, PE for moisture resistance.
Paper: Recyclable or kraft paper for eco-friendly, lightweight use.
Metalized Films: Aluminum-coated for EMI shielding or decorative finishes.
3.Printing Technology
Thermal Transfer: For durable barcodes and labels (e.g., logistics).
UV Flexography: High-quality graphics for retail packaging.
Digital Printing: Custom, short-run designs with variable data.
4.Adhesive Systems
Permanent: Solvent-based for industrial bonding (e.g., heavy machinery labels).
Removable: Acrylic-based for temporary applications (e.g., retail shelf tags).
Specialty: Freezer-safe, high-temperature (up to 300°F), or anti-static adhesives.
5.Key Functions
Regulatory Compliance: FDA-approved for food packaging, UL-listed for electronics.
Security: Tamper-evident designs withVOID patterns or holograms.
Sustainability: Recycled materials, water-based inks, and biodegradable options.
6.Industry-Specific Uses
Healthcare: Patient wristbands, sterile packaging labels.
Automotive: Wiring harness labels, VIN tags.
E-commerce: Custom-branded shipping seals with QR codes.
