Shurtape Technologies offers ShurSeal®, a carton sealing system that combines Shurtape HP Series packaging tape with a PrimeLoc™ tape applicator. The HP Series packaging tape creates an instant, permanent bond with cartons and offers high holding power to fiberboard while the PrimeLoc tape applicator offers wipe-down force for better tamper-evident carton seals.
Together the tape and applicator provide consistent and highly secure seals resulting in the following:
• Prevention of damage, contamination, and returns
• Better security via visible fiber tear to deter tampering and theft
• Improved production throughput with less reworks due to poor carton seals
Because most packaging tapes are pressure-sensitive they require some type of pressure or force to create a bond to the carton, allowing the tape’s adhesive to entangle deep within the fibers of the carton. This is often achieved via two rollers, positioned at the front and rear of the tape applicator; however, this is not always sufficient, especially when sealing under-filled cartons.
The PrimeLoc tape applicator available with ShurSeal is designed with multiple, flexible wipe-down points, which allow for full use of the tape’s adhesive, even on under-filled cartons, to create a better carton seal. The seal offers visual evidence, via fiber tear, that the tape has been removed or tampered with.
