Fiber Tape, commonly known as "Reinforced Tape", is a type of tape that incorporates high-strength polyester fibers into its PET composition.
Plastic Substrate: Provides waterproof, moisture-proof and backing functions.
Built-in Fiber: Like the steel bars in reinforced concrete, it provides the tape with high tensile strength and tear resistance.
Grid Fiber Tape: The warp and weft fibers are interwoven into a grid pattern. This structure gives the tape high strength in both length and width, effectively preventing carton seams from bursting under pressure, and providing better anti-explosion box effect.
Striped Fiber Tape: The fibers are embedded in parallel straight lines. It provides high tensile strength along the length of the tape, and is relatively easy to tear laterally, making it easy to handle by hand.
Use Grid Fiber Tape in the Following Situations
The contents of the package are very heavy or valuable.
The volume of carton is large, which requires high stacking, and the overall strength of the box is required to be high.
It is necessary to ensure that the carton does not crack in any direction during transportation.
Use Striped Fiber Tape in the Following Cases
It meets the daily demand of most heavy cartons.
The pursuit of convenience requires frequent tearing of tape by hand.
Packaging and transportation conditions are relatively conventional and do not require extreme explosion protection.
According to the distribution of fibers, fiber tapes can be divided into the following two types：
Glass fiber or polyester fiber is formed into a dense grid structure by interweaving warp and weft, and completely covers the tape substrate.
Isotropic Strength: Because the fibers are in a grid, the tensile strength and tear resistance in both length and width are basically the same.
Explosion-Proof Function: This structure can effectively disperse the stress from different directions, and can prevent the box from bursting at the joint to the maximum extent when the carton is compressed or impacted.
Suitable for scenarios requiring high strength and all-round protection, such as heavy equipment packaging, carton sealing for long-distance transportation or high-altitude stacking.
Reinforced fibers (usually glass fibers) are embedded in the tape substrate in the form of parallel, spaced straight lines, and appear in a striped appearance.
Longitudinal Strength: The fibers provide extremely high tensile strength along the length of the tape, making it very difficult to break in the longitudinal direction.
Transverse Tear Resistance: Due to the gap between the fiber stripes, the tape is relatively easy to tear in the transverse direction, which is easy to tear by hand.
Suitable for most conventional occasions that need high strength packaging but do not need all-round explosion-proof, is the most commonly used model in daily heavy packaging.
