Tape-Pak works with many of the industry's leading manufacturers, allowing us to recommend the best product for your application rather than being limited to a single brand. We provide technical support, competitive pricing, inventory solutions, and responsive customer service.

Yes. We regularly cross-reference competitive products from manufacturers such as 3M, Tesa, Scapa, Intertape, Decker, Berry, and others to identify high-performing alternatives that meet your application and budget.

Yes. We can supply many products under your own brand, including carton sealing tape, stretch film, protective films, and other packaging materials.

Acrylic offers excellent aging and UV resistance for long-term storage. Hot melt provides aggressive tack for general shipping applications. Solvent natural rubber delivers superior adhesion to recycled cartons, cold environments, and difficult surfaces.

Natural rubber solvent adhesive generally provides the strongest adhesion to highly recycled corrugated materials.

Natural rubber solvent adhesive tapes typically perform best in refrigerated and freezer environments.

Hand film is designed for manual wrapping, while machine film is engineered for stretch wrappers and offers better consistency, lower film usage, and reduced labor costs.

The proper gauge depends on your load weight, pallet configuration, shipping conditions, and equipment. Tape-Pak can evaluate your application and recommend the most cost-effective film.

Absolutely. Proper film selection often reduces film consumption while maintaining or improving load containment.

The correct film depends on the surface material, surface finish, exposure time, processing conditions, and removal requirements. We can recommend products specifically designed for metal, painted surfaces, plastics, glass, composites, and more.

When the correct product is selected and applied within its recommended exposure period, quality surface protection films are designed to remove cleanly without leaving residue.

The adhesive should be selected based on the surface energy of the substrate, temperature, environmental exposure, and whether permanent or removable adhesion is required.

Rubber adhesives provide aggressive initial tack, while acrylic adhesives generally offer better long-term aging, UV resistance, and temperature performance.

Pressure-sensitive tape adhesion is commonly measured in ounces per inch (oz/in), pounds per inch (lb/in), or Newtons per centimeter (N/cm).

Yes. We frequently help customers qualify replacement products when manufacturers discontinue or change existing products.

Yes. We can provide samples for qualification and, when appropriate, assist with production trials before a full purchase.

Absolutely. Our team regularly assists customers with bonding failures, lifting edges, residue issues, temperature-related problems, and application recommendations.
