"Packaging and shipment of items continues to rise – with a growing preference for light and more sustainable packaging. Achieving optimal balance between the reduction of material thickness and adequate strength and protection for packaged goods is paramount. This is precisely where our new tesa® 51345 comes in: reinforcement adhesive tapes provide added strength to lighter packaging and cartons, particularly in critical stress areas," explains Frank Domann, Corporate Marketing Director Industrial Markets at tesa. "Our adhesive tape solution also contributes to achieve more sustainability in the packaging industry, as the tape has been produced using a solvent-free coating process with a paper backing from sustainably managed sources and a 100% recycled paper core. And the best part: it can be disposed of together with the cardboard material without affecting the recycling process."
The new tesa® 51345 reinforcement adhesive tape follows the previously launched tesa® 51344 in the first quarter of this year. tesa® 51344 is a paper-based tear strip for cartons and packagings. tesa is one of the few manufacturers in the market offering a paper-based adhesive tape solution for this application.
The development of more sustainable products is a strategically important goal for tesa. As part of its sustainability strategy, by 2030 tesa is aiming to increase the share of recycled and bio-based materials in all products to 70 percent and to reduce the use of non-recycled fossil-based plastic by half.
