To make the tamper protection of parcels even more sustainable, Schümann offers environmentally friendly wet adhesive rolls. They are unreinforced and consist of only two renewable raw materials: Paper and potato starch.
The wet adhesive rolls in the „unreinforced“ version from Schümann are a proven and continuously developed solution for the Dust-tight and tamper-proof sealing of corrugated and solid cardboard boxes. As they are made entirely from natural and recyclable raw materials (paper, potato starch), these parcel tapes are also an extremely environmentally friendly packaging material that makes a direct contribution to the realisation of sustainable supply chains.
The primary area of application for unreinforced wet adhesive tapes is the sealing of cardboard packaging with unit weights of up to 12 kg. The dimensions of the packages and parcels are of secondary importance. The Length of the fastening straps running from the roll can be cut to the exact length required, This means that both very small and very large parcels can be sealed with it. For small and medium-sized parcel quantities, application is usually carried out using manual dispensers or semi-automatic dispensing systems, which are also part of the company's portfolio. In high-volume logistics, the wet adhesive rolls are clamped in fully automated throughfeed systems and applied mechanically.
Irrespective of the application technique, the wet adhesive tapes go a long way during application. material-technical bond with the cardboard of the cardboard boxes. Its adhesive effect is based on an initially dry coating of potato starch glue applied to the underside. It is only activated immediately before application in the dispenser, dispenser or machine by wetting it sparingly with water. After briefly pressing it on, the adhesive layer bonds inseparably with the surface of the cardboard.
The wet adhesive strip can then only be torn open destructively. Any attempt to remove it leaves visible traces. Torn open cardboard packaging is clearly identifiable and can be ejected from the supply chain. As a result, the wet adhesive tapes offer a high level of protection against tampering. Unlike plastic tapes, they cannot be outwitted with thermal tricks. In addition to manufacturers and distributors of natural products and foodstuffs, the producers of medical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and hygiene products this characteristic of wet adhesive tapes. It is also an advantage when shipping particularly valuable components or documents.
