Machine Tape

Optimise your end-of-line packaging process with our premium range of machine packaging tape. Engineered specifically for use with automatic case sealers and industrial carton sealers, our machine rolls are designed to provide consistent, high-speed sealing without the downtime associated with manual application. Unlike standard hand rolls, our bulk machine tape comes in extended lengths to ensure your packaging line efficiency remains at its peak.

Our 75mm core machine packing tape is fully compatible with all major brands of case tapers, including side belt drive and top and bottom belt drive systems. Whether you are using a uniform case sealer for consistent box sizes or a random case sealer for varied production lines, our tape provides a smooth, consistent release that prevents snapping and machine jamming.

Available in 38mm and 48mm machine tape widths for regular cartons, our automated carton sealing tape help you achieve a professional, tamper-evident finish every time. By upgrading to high-volume machine tape, your facility can reduce material waste, lower labor costs, and ensure that every package is secured for the rigours of transit.

When should I choose hot melt machine tape?
Hot melt machine tape is ideal for high-speed lines and heavy-duty shipping. It offers a superior initial quick stick to corrugated box sealing, making it the best choice for dusty environments or boxes with high-rebound flaps.

What is the standard width for industrial machine tape?
The most common width is 48mm (2 inches), though 75mm (3 inches) is used for extra-heavy shipments to provide a more secure seal on corrugated box seams. L-PAC also stocks 38mm polypropylene machine tape to accommodate a range of packaging requirements.

What is the core size of machine tape?
L-PAC’s industrial adhesive tape rolls for machines come on a standard 75mm (3 inch) core, which fits the mandrels of all major case sealer brands.

Does using a machine reduce tape waste?
Absolutely. An industrial carton sealer applies the exact amount of tape required for each box, eliminating the double-taping and excessive overhang common with manual application.

Do you offer custom-printed machine tape?
Custom-printed machine packaging tape is a great way to improve brand visibility and security. It can be used on any automatic case sealer just like standard clear or tan tape. L-PAC offers branded packaging including printed tape – contact us to discuss your packaging requirements.

When should I invest in electric tape dispensers for my packing line?
Electric tape dispensers are ideal for high-volume ecommerce operations. They provide pre-cut lengths of tape, reducing waste and ensuring that every box on your pallet is sealed with the exact amount of box tape required for safety.

What is the role of a taper machine in automated packaging?
A taper machine (or case sealer) automates the sealing of the top and bottom of boxes. This is the first step in an automated line that eventually moves the boxes to a stretch pallet wrapper, ensuring the entire process is hands-free and efficient.

How many boxes per minute can a box taping machine seal?
Depending on the model, a high-speed automatic case sealer can process between 20 and 30 boxes per minute, vastly outperforming manual tape dispensers.

How do electric tape dispensers help reduce material costs?
By dispensing precise lengths, electric tape dispensers prevent employees from over-taping boxes. This efficiency helps lower the total cost of packaging mailing supplies across the warehouse.

What is the difference between standard taper machines and manual tapers?
A manual box taper is hand-held and portable, while a taper machine is a stationary unit that boxes pass through. Both are essential for preparing goods before they are placed onto a pallet of cardboard boxes.
