Sealstrip Corporation announces, effective immediately, a new standard material width of 3.4mm for the Shrinktape® easy open, tamper evident system for shrink packaging. The standard color is red, with custom colors and prints available. Sealstrip is excited to offer this wider Shrinktape as our standard product, because it is easier for the consumer to use, and Making Packaging Easier is what we’re all about.

Consumers say the 3.4mm Shrinktape has a larger pull-tab that is easier to use than tab created with a narrower tape, and the wider tape removes more of the packaging film with one motion. The 3.4mm tape is also more eye-catching, yet does not interfere with package graphics.

Shrinktape is applied in the machine direction by an applicator mounted on new or existing shrink machinery. The Shrinktape® Applicator applies the Shrinktape to the packaging film and forms the tab that is pulled to open the package. Applicators are available for retrofit to inverting L-sealers and continuous motion and form-fill-seal wrappers.

Popular applications include printed forms, bakery, medical devices, collectibles and business to business products.
