Product Benefits
Dependable box closure
Provides a reliable closure for lightweight cartons and packages exposed to minimal distribution hazards.
Conformable backing
The polypropylene film backing conforms around carton edges, corners and mildly rough surfaces for a tight seal.
Smooth dispensing
Easy unwind and smooth dispensing make it suitable for handheld dispensers, case sealers and automated packaging lines.
Durable surface
Resists abrasion, moisture, chemicals and scuffing, while the backing provides good edge tear and split resistance.
