About EkoPET

Key Features

Environmentally Friendly with Recycled Content: Made from 90% Post Consumer Recycled (PCR) rPET film, containing 56% recycled materials, reducing virgin plastic consumption by recycling used PET products.
Excellent Adhesion Properties: EkoPET can withstand applications meant for standard packaging tapes that are 15 microns thicker, ensuring a strong, permanent bond on a wide range of substrates and surfaces.
High Initial Adhesion and Performance: It features higher shear, tack, and adhesion on recycled corrugated, recycled paper, and other substrates, maintaining good adhesion even at higher temperatures and in cold conditions down to 30 °C.
Easy Application with Low Unwinding Force: The tape does not tear when unwinding or from the sides, allowing for smooth and silent application, even available in a low-noise variant.
High Tensile Strength and Tear Resistance: The tape boasts a strong, abrasion-resistant backing with a performance on par with PVC or BOPP tapes, ensuring durability and reliability.
Good Printability for Branding: Excellent printability with all types of ink systems makes it ideal for showcasing brands and advertising solutions on the tape.

Key Benefits

127% More Tape per Roll for Greater Length: Because EkoPET is incredibly thin, the roll contains no less than 132 meters of tape, which is twice as much as standard tape. This feature makes the tape particularly efficient and practical to use .
50% Fewer Roll Changeovers: The standard machine tape roll contains 990 meters of tape. But with a film thickness of just 19 microns (plus adhesive layer), the EkoPET machine roll boasts a capacity of 1500 meters. This means fewer roll changes, saving valuable time and storage space.
Strong & Long Lasting with 24% Thinner Backing: Made from BOPET, which is stronger than BOPP, the tape can be produced with a 24% thinner backing while maintaining strength, allowing for longer usage per roll.
40% lesser Waste Reduction: The film’s thickness reduces material usage by up to 40%, generating less waste from tape cores, outer packaging, and films, which protects the environment and is cost effective as well.
Space and Cost Savings: With 132 meters of tape on the same diameter roll, storage space requirements decrease, and the need for fewer deliveries reduces CO₂ emissions and handling costs.
Effective Branding Opportunities with Custom Printing: The tape can be printed in various colors, enabling you to increase brand awareness with your logo or advertising message, enhancing the unwrapping experience for customers.

Available As

Film Thickness: 19, 23 and 36 micron with water based acrylic adhesive
