Flat Back Tape

About Flat Back Tape

Flat Back Tape, a premium choice in packaging supplies, is a specialized kraft tape used extensively in shipping, packaging, and storage applications. Combining the durability of kraft tape with the resilience of rubber tape provides a strong and lasting seal. Flat Back Tape has a unique structure, featuring kraft paper backing with a pressure-sensitive rubber adhesive on one side. This blend offers a tear- and split-resistant solution, safeguarding packages from contaminants like dirt and moisture.

Unlike typical kraft tapes that require a dispenser to activate their adhesive, Flat Back Tape sticks with light manual pressure. It lays flat without curling, ensuring smooth application and a professional finish. Additionally, this tape stands up to high-heat environments, adding versatility for diverse packaging conditions. Available in different widths and thicknesses, Flat Back Tape is suitable for both large-scale industrial applications and everyday shipping tasks.
