Teartapes for flexible films
Walotape® is a teartape which can be used as an “easy-opening” product solution. Beyond this convenience, printed teartapes can provide a number of valuable options: brand identification and visual impacts are enhanced, and with complementary suitable graphic designs. Furthermore, teartapes can also provide eye-catching graphics for specific campaigns.
Operating on common packaging machines, Walotape® Teartapes are suited for adhering on most types of flexible packaging films. The manufacturers of traditional consumables products as cigarettes, cigars, cheese, confectionery, CDs/DVDs, sanitary items, pharmaceutical products or tea are making excellent use of this.
Generally, we provide the following four types of Teartapes base carriers: a) Polyester, b) BOPP c) MOPP and d) our newest (Naturetape® C) made of Cellophane, sustainable, compostable and biodegradable! Teartapes can be produced using four types of adhesives: a) heat-sealable hot-melt; b) heat-sealable lacquer; c) self-adhesive hot-melt adhesive based on natural rubber and d) self-adhesive coating based on water-based acrylic. These tapes can be spooled on bobbins or rolls.
