Hot Melt Packing Tape — Medium Duty

Hot melt tape offers higher initial tack and shear strength, making it ideal for heavy-duty sealing and recycled corrugated. Acrylic tape provides quieter unwind, longer shelf life, low VOC content, and better cold-temperature performance. Hot melt is preferred for high-throughput auto-tapers, while acrylic suits cold storage and environments requiring low noise.
