PLA Tape

*Custom options are available, including:
Width, length, total thickness, color, printing, core size, packaging, and branding.

Bio-Based PLA Film

PLA Tape uses polylactic acid film made from renewable plant-based materials, providing a bio-based alternative for packaging applications where reducing reliance on fossil-derived resources is an important consideration.

Water-Based Adhesive

The PLA film is combined with a water-based adhesive system for carton sealing and general packaging applications.

Good Clarity & Flexibility

The tape provides good clarity and flexibility, making it suitable for packaging applications where both appearance and practical handling are important.

Good Printability

Its printable surface makes PLA Tape suitable for branded packaging, allowing packaging designs to incorporate logos, messages, or other printed information according to project requirements.

Easy Hand Tear

The tape can be torn by hand, supporting convenient application in everyday packaging and sealing operations.

Up to 94.2% Biodegradation Within 180 Days

Under controlled test conditions, YG PLA Tape achieves up to 94.2% biodegradation within 180 days.

This provides a measurable environmental performance indicator rather than relying only on a general “biodegradable” claim.

Biodegradation performance depends on the conditions under which the material is tested and treated. The 94.2% result therefore refers to the controlled conditions used for the product evaluation and should not be interpreted as the same degradation rate in every natural or disposal environment.

Renewable Plant-Based Material

PLA is made from renewable plant-based feedstocks, helping reduce dependence on conventional fossil resources in the film material.

Supporting Plastic Reduction

By replacing conventional fossil-based film material with PLA film, the tape supports packaging strategies aimed at reducing the use of traditional petroleum-derived plastics.

Supporting Low-Carbon Packaging Strategies

The use of renewable plant-based PLA can form part of broader packaging strategies focused on material transition, reduced fossil-resource dependence, and lower-carbon packaging development.

E-Commerce Packaging

PLA Tape can be used for sealing e-commerce cartons and packages where bio-based packaging materials are preferred.

Retail Sealing

Suitable for retail packaging and sealing applications where appearance and convenient handling are important.

Branded Packaging

Good printability makes the tape suitable for packaging projects that incorporate logos, branding, or printed messages.

General Carton Sealing

PLA Tape can be used for general carton sealing applications according to the carton surface and packaging requirements.

The primary difference is the film material.

YG PLA Tape uses plant-based PLA film, while conventional BOPP packing tape uses polypropylene film. The appropriate choice should be based on packaging performance requirements, material strategy, and environmental objectives.

These two terms describe different characteristics.

Bio-Based

"Bio-based" refers to the origin of the material.

YG PLA Tape uses PLA made from renewable plant-based materials, reducing reliance on fossil resources.

Biodegradable

"Biodegradable" refers to the ability of a material to break down through biological processes under defined conditions.

For YG PLA Tape, product testing shows up to 94.2% biodegradation within 180 days under controlled conditions.

A bio-based material should not automatically be assumed to biodegrade at the same rate under every environmental condition.

Not necessarily.

The current YG PLA Tape data supports a biodegradation result of up to 94.2% within 180 days under controlled conditions.

This biodegradation result alone does not establish that the finished tape meets a specific compostability standard or is suitable for home or industrial composting.

Where compostability is a purchasing requirement, the relevant standard and supporting test or certification should be confirmed separately.

Confirm the Packaging Application

First determine whether the tape will be used for:

• E-commerce packaging
• Retail sealing
• Branded packaging
• General carton sealing

Consider Appearance Requirements

For packaging where visual appearance is important, PLA Tape provides good clarity.

Consider Printing Requirements

For branded or promotional packaging, its good printability can support customized printed designs.

Review Environmental Requirements

If the project requires documented biodegradation performance, use the available 94.2% within 180 days under controlled conditions data rather than relying only on generic environmental claims.

Confirm Additional Technical Requirements

Where specific requirements apply for adhesion, tensile strength, temperature resistance, storage conditions, or automated packaging equipment, the applicable technical specification should be confirmed before selection.

Test on the Actual Packaging

Carton surfaces and packaging conditions can vary. Product testing on the intended carton or packaging material is recommended before large-scale use.

• Make sure the carton or packaging surface is clean and dry.
• Unwind the required length of PLA Tape.
• Apply the tape evenly across the carton seam or sealing area.
• Press firmly along the tape to ensure good adhesive contact.
• Hand-tear the tape when required for convenient manual application.
• Test the tape on the actual packaging material before large-scale use when application requirements vary.
