Packaging buyers serving the European market are reviewing more than the corrugated box itself. Sealing tape, labels, coatings and other attached components can influence the material structure of the finished package. Under the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation, or PPWR, recyclability is considered at packaging level rather than by evaluating one component in isolation.

A practical guide for buyers comparing pre-stretched stretch film with conventional hand stretch film, covering factory pre-stretching, low-tension wrapping, neck-in, film utilization, trial testing, and selection factors.

As paper-based packaging and plastic-reduction requirements gain importance, non-PE pressure-sensitive kraft tape is becoming a relevant carton-sealing option. Learn how Greenflat combines anti-seepage-treated kraft paper, acrylic adhesive, and a non-PE structure to support packaging performance and paper-oriented packaging goals.

Cold lamination film and thermal lamination film both protect printed materials, but they work in different ways. Cold lamination uses pressure-sensitive adhesive. Thermal lamination uses heat to activate the adhesive. This difference affects print compatibility, equipment, production settings and typical applications.

Choose VOID security tape by confirming the inspection point, transfer type, exact application surface, acceptable residue, sealing function and roll format. Full-transfer tape transfers the message mainly to the package. Partial-transfer tape shows evidence on both the package and removed tape. Non-transfer tape mainly reveals the message in the removed tape.
