Kite Packaging, the UK’s premier supplier of packaging, has kick-started the New Year with its first new product launch. Solvent tape has been added to Kite’s already impressive tape range, which currently includes hot melt, acrylic, low-noise and its own Envirotape – which has a smaller core so that 150 metres of tape can be held on one roll, ensuring less cardboard waste and supply chain cost savings.

tape-vinyl-3Solvent tape is favoured by a number of industry sectors as it is incredibly versatile, offering a superior tack in both cold and ambient temperatures. This is particularly useful when exporting products for long journeys, as the environmental changes from cold to warm will not affect the tape and keep products secure inside cartons. It is also commonly used in the food industry for this reason, as the strong adhesive is perfect for freezer storage.

Kite offers solvent tape in both polypropylene, the most popular carrier of tape, and PVC. The PVC carrier is favoured by a number of businesses due to its easy tear feature, polypropylene tape requires a tape dispenser to cut pieces off however PVC (also known as Vinyl) tears by hand, ideal for businesses that pack product ‘on the go’ such as removal businesses and furniture manufacturers.

You can now buy polypropylene and PVC solvent tape directly through the Kite Packaging website, with prices starting at 65p per roll. Simply head to www.kitepackaging.co.uk
