Crossweave Tape

Engineered for high-stress security and heavy industrial bundling, our Crossweave Tape (or filament tape) is virtually indestructible. This premium packaging tape is reinforced with bidirectional fibreglass filaments running both lengthwise and widthwise throughout the adhesive layer. This creates immense tensile strength, ensuring the tape cannot be torn, snapped, or stretched in any direction once applied. It is the ultimate alternative to steel or plastic strapping for heavy freight.

Key Features & Benefits

• Bidirectional Fibreglass Reinforcement: Provides extreme resistance to splitting, bursting, and tearing, even when subjected to intense pressure from heavy or shifting loads.

• Replaces Plastic Banding: Securely binds heavy metal pipes, timber beams, or heavy industrial machinery components together without the need for expensive strapping tools.

• Extreme Security Sealing: Perfectly reinforces heavy-duty double and triple-wall cardboard boxes carrying heavy parts, ensuring the boxes will not burst open at the seams.

For heavy engineering works in County Durham, steel distributors in Sheffield, or major export hubs in Liverpool and Manchester, our crossweave filament tape in the North West and North East offers military-grade security. Protect your high-mass freight on long-distance road routes and sea container lines with the most dependable reinforced packing tape North East businesses trust for zero-failure dispatch.

Should I use packing tape to secure boxes before applying stretch film?
Yes. High-tack packing tape ensures individual boxes are sealed and structural. When used before stretch film pallet wrap, it prevents the boxes from opening internally, which could cause the entire pallet load to shift during transit.

What is the benefit of using crossweave tape for pallet stabilisation?
Crossweave tape is reinforced with fibreglass, making it virtually impossible to tear by hand. It is exceptionally valuable for strapping heavy items to a pallet before they are wrapped in machine stretch film, providing a secondary layer of high-strength security.

Can I use crossweave tape as a substitute for plastic strapping?
In many cases, yes. Crossweave tape offers high tensile strength and can be used to bundle heavy items together on a pallet before they are enclosed in plastic pallet wrap, often at a lower cost than traditional metal or plastic strapping.

Is crossweave tape moisture resistant?
Yes, most crossweave tape features a polypropylene backing that is moisture-resistant. This makes it an excellent partner for plastic pallet wrap when shipping goods through humid or damp environments.

Does crossweave tape leave a residue on products?
Most high-quality crossweave tape is designed with high-tack adhesive that stays on the backing, minimising residue. However, it is primarily designed for use on outer cartons rather than the products themselves.
