Adhesive tape – also known as parcel tape or wet adhesive tape – is often used to securely seal boxes. It is inexpensive, easy to use and ideal for shipping. However, it has clear disadvantages when it comes to stabilising pallets.
What are the advantages of adhesive tape?
Low price
Easy to use, even without special tools
Disadvantages at a glance:
Adhesive tapes can damage packaging and leave residues behind.
Usually unusable after one use and not recyclable
No elasticity, therefore unsuitable for transport loads
The better alternative: sanstrap® stretchbands
Elasticity instead of stickiness → secure hold, even when moving
Reusable & recyclable (sanstrap® eco/re)
No waste due to residues or use on edge protection
Quick, tool-free application – 50% faster than stretch film
Pallet securing doesn’t have to be complicated – just well thought out. Many conventional solutions are expensive, impractical or generate unnecessary waste.
sanstrap® & Co. tackle precisely this problem: clever, efficient and flexible in use. For safe, fast processes and less packaging work.
