Paper tape is a versatile adhesive product made primarily from paper materials, designed for applications such as packaging, clothing, and electronics. It serves as a sustainable alternative to plastic-based tapes, combining strong adhesion, heat-sealing capability, and excellent tear resistance.

At Guangdong Xinyuanshun New Materials Co., Ltd., we produce high-quality paper tape rolls and strapping tapes in various widths and colors, including white and yellow heat-sealable paper tapes commonly used in bag sealing and bundling applications. Our company has over a decade of experience in paper-based material technology, providing customized widths, thicknesses, and OEM/ODM services to meet global demand for eco-friendly packaging solutions.

This article explores what paper tape is, its materials and properties, key applications, and why it plays an essential role in modern packaging and production industries.

1. What Is Paper Tape?

Paper tape is an adhesive-backed paper material used for sealing, bundling, and reinforcing items. Unlike synthetic tapes made of PVC or opp film, paper tape offers biodegradability, easy recyclability, and strong tensile strength, making it a preferred choice for eco-conscious industries.

A) Composition and Structure

Paper tapes are usually composed of:

• Base Material: High-strength kraft or crepe paper.

• Adhesive Layer: Natural rubber, hot-melt adhesive, or water-activated starch adhesive.

• Surface Treatment: Can be coated or uncoated, heat-sealable, or printed with brand logos.

B) Manufacturing Process

1. Paper preparation – Base kraft or coated paper is selected and treated for flexibility.

2. Adhesive coating – The chosen adhesive is evenly applied using a hot-melt or aqueous process.

3. Drying and curing – The coated paper is dried to achieve optimal tackiness and stability.

4. Slitting and rewinding – Large rolls are cut into widths of 20mm, 30mm, or custom sizes.

5. Packaging – Rolls are packed in paper boxes to preserve quality and ease of storage.

2. Key Features and Advantages of Paper Tape
