High-Strength Tapes

Engineered Tapes for Reinforcement & Industrial Use

High-strength tapes are engineered for applications where standard tapes simply can’t perform. Designed to withstand high tension, weight, and mechanical stress, these tapes provide dependable reinforcement, secure bundling, clean splicing, and long-term bonding. Commonly used across industrial, packaging, and manufacturing environments, high-strength tapes help improve load stability, reduce product damage, and support efficient, repeatable operations where durability and holding power are critical.

Reinforcement & Load-Holding Strength

Filament tape is reinforced with fibreglass filaments to deliver exceptional tensile strength and resistance to stretching or tearing.

Features
  • Fiberglass reinforcement for high tensile strength
  • Resists splitting, tearing, and stretching under load
  • Strong adhesive for secure, long-term holding
  • Available in uni-directional or bi-directional filament patterns
  • Reinforcing cartons and boxes
  • Securing heavy or bulky shipments
  • Pallet unitizing and bundling
  • Appliance, pipe, or metal part bundling

Thin, High-Strength Bonding Without a Carrier

Adhesive transfer tape consists of a layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive on a release liner, delivering strong bonding in applications where minimal thickness and clean appearance matter.

Features
  • No carrier: ultra-thin bond line
  • High adhesion to smooth surfaces
  • Clean, invisible bonding solution
  • Available in acrylic or rubber adhesive systems
  • Laminating foams, films, and graphics
  • Mounting signage, nameplates, and overlays
  • Industrial assembly and splicing
  • Permanent bonding where thickness is critical

Frequently Asked Questions

High-strength tapes are designed to withstand significant tension, load stress, and demanding conditions without stretching, tearing, or failing. These tapes typically feature reinforced backings, aggressive adhesives, or specialized constructions that outperform standard packaging or general-purpose tapes.

Filament tape is best when strength and load containment are critical, such as palletizing, carton reinforcement, or bundling heavy products. Flatback tape is better suited for bundling, masking, or temporary holds where clean removal is required.

Most adhesive transfer tapes are designed for permanent or long-term bonding. Because there is no carrier material, the adhesive creates direct contact between surfaces, resulting in a thin, strong bond that is difficult to remove without surface damage.

In many applications, yes. Filament tape is often used as an alternative to plastic strapping for light-to-medium load unitizing, while adhesive transfer tapes can replace screws or rivets in laminating and assembly processes where drilling is not desired.

Filament tape performs well on recycled and rough corrugate due to its aggressive adhesive and reinforced backing. Flatback and transfer tapes typically perform best on clean, smooth surfaces unless specified otherwise.
