Pillar Tapes supplies a robust lineup of industrial-grade adhesive tapes designed for bundling, reinforcing, color-coding, protection, and securing heavy loads. Whether you’re stabilizing shipments, organizing production lines, or protecting surfaces in demanding environments—our industrial tapes deliver the strength and reliability your operation depends on.
Strapping tape, also called filament tape, uses fiberglass filaments for high tensile strength, making it ideal for reinforcing boxes, securing pallets, and bundling heavy materials.
Vinyl bundling tape provides a clean, flexible solution for temporary securing and holding applications. Known for its stretchability and clean removal, it is widely used in manufacturing, assembly lines, and material handling environments.
Vinyl marking tape is designed for color-coding, labeling, and marking in industrial, automotive, and warehouse environments. Extremely durable and highly visible, it adheres well to a variety of surfaces—even in high-traffic areas.
Polyethylene (PE) tape features a tough poly backing that resists moisture, chemicals, and temperature changes—ideal for construction, surface protection, abatement, and industrial maintenance applications.
Choosing the right industrial tape depends on what you’re securing, bundling, or protecting—and how long it needs to stay in place. From heavy-duty reinforcement to clean-removal bundling, colour-coding, and moisture-resistant sealing, each tape serves a different purpose. Use the comparison chart below to determine the best fit for your operation.
| Feature | Strapping Tape | Vinyl Bundling Tape | Vinyl Marking Tape | Polyethylene Tape |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Best For | Reinforcing cartons & securing heavy loads | Temporary bundling & holding parts together | Colour-coding, ID and visual marking | Sealing, masking & containment in tough conditions |
| Key Strength | High tensile strength with fiberglass filaments for serious holding power | Flexible, stretchable and gentle on surfaces | High visibility and durable identification | Moisture, dust and tear resistance |
| Adhesive / Hold | Aggressive rubber or hot-melt hold for long-term security | Medium-tack hold engineered for clean removal | Permanent rubber or acrylic adhesive | Strong, construction-grade adhesive |
| Surface Types | Corrugate, plastics, metals, stretch film | Cartons, foam, components, protective wrap | Racking, shelving, equipment, bins, tools | Poly sheeting, vapour barriers, wood, metal, concrete |
| Removal | Typically permanent; may leave residue when removed | Designed to remove cleanly in most applications | Primarily permanent marking applications | Available in temporary or permanent grades |
| Typical Environments | Palletizing, export shipping, heavy product bundling | Assembly lines, kitting, WIP handling, light transport | Warehouses, production lines, inventory & safety marking | Construction sites, renovation, abatement, industrial maintenance |
Selecting the correct industrial tape is critical to ensure reliable adhesion, durability, and performance across demanding production, packaging, and warehouse environments. Our tape specialists can recommend the right solution based on your application, materials, and operating conditions.

Looking to secure heavier loads with confidence? Explore our in-depth guide on strapping tape to see how reinforced construction, high tensile strength, and tear resistance make it the go-to solution for heavy-duty bundling and load protection. Whether you’re palletizing, reinforcing cartons, or shipping industrial products, this guide helps you decide if strapping tape is right for your operation.
Strapping tape is reinforced with fiberglass filaments for extreme tensile strength, making it ideal for securing heavy loads, pallets, and export shipments. Packing tape is designed mainly for box sealing and does not offer the same load-bearing strength.
Absolutely. Vinyl marking tape is built for long-term visibility and durability. It adheres strongly to floors, racking, shelving, and equipment — making it a reliable choice for safety lines, inventory organization, and colour-coding.
Polyethylene tape is built for tough, demanding environments like construction sites, renovation projects, and industrial maintenance. It resists moisture, dust, chemicals, and tearing — making it ideal for sealing poly sheeting, vapour barriers, and protective containment.
In some applications, yes. Strapping tape can secure heavy components or stabilize pallet loads, but it cannot replace plastic or steel banding when extreme compression strength is required. It’s best for bundling, reinforcement, and light-to-medium pallet stabilization.
These tapes adhere to a variety of surfaces, including: Corrugate and cardboard, Metal and plastic components, Racking, shelving, and equipment, Poly sheeting, vapour barriers, and concrete, Surface prep (clean, dry, dust-free) ensures the strongest bond.
