tesa 60418 Packaging Tape Made from Recycled Polyester, 132 m x 50 mm

tesa® 60418 is a thin, sustainable PET packaging tape with a synthetic rubber adhesive for securely sealing light- and medium-weight cartons in manual and automated packaging processes.

Description

The tesa® 60418 packaging tape made from recycled polyester is an eco-friendly carton-sealing tape with a total recycled content of 60%. The hot-melt adhesive made from synthetic rubber ensures high initial tack and excellent immediate sealing performance. The extremely thin PET polyester backing consists of 85% post-consumer recycled material and combines high tear resistance with optimal flexibility. Thanks to its low unwinding force, the tape is ideal for automated packaging lines and high-volume applications. It is perfectly suited for cartons weighing up to 25 kg, and its longer roll length reduces the number of roll changes—ideal for efficient, reliable packaging processes in logistics, warehousing, and shipping.
