Common Uses

Subject to surface compatibility and the requirements of the application, this tape is suitable for:

• Sealing compatible heavy-duty cardboard cartons
• Reinforcing the tops and bottoms of shipping boxes

• Securing compatible metal frames
• Reinforcing carton seams and edges
• Holding grouped items together during handling or storage
• General warehouse and dispatch applications
• Industrial packing and maintenance tasks

Crossweave Filament Tape 24mm x 50m and 50mm x 50m

Create stronger seals and secure demanding bundles with Crossweave Filament Tape. Reinforced with glass fibres, this tape provides high tensile strength for compatible heavy-duty packaging, carton sealing and binding applications.

The crossweave reinforcement runs in both directions across the tape. As a result, the tape is designed to provide additional strength across its width as well as along its length.

Choose from a narrower 24mm x 50m roll or a wider 50mm x 50m roll. The 24mm option is useful for narrower joints, smaller bundles and applications where more controlled placement is required. Meanwhile, the 50mm option provides wider coverage for larger carton seams and broader contact areas.

Each roll contains 50 metres of tape. Therefore, strips can be cut to suit individual cartons, bundles and general packing tasks.

Dimensions are nominal, while imperial measurements are approximate. In addition, the stated roll dimensions refer to the width and length of the tape.

Adhesive type, total tape thickness, operating temperature range, UV stability, weather resistance and waterproof performance are not established by the roll dimensions alone. Therefore, check the supplied product information or contact us if one of these properties is essential to your application.

Why Choose Crossweave Filament Tape?

Standard packaging tape may not provide the level of reinforcement required for heavier cartons or demanding bundles. Crossweave Filament Tape, however, incorporates glass fibres to increase its tensile strength.

The reinforced construction helps the tape resist pulling forces during suitable packaging and binding tasks. Consequently, it can be used where additional support is required across carton seams or around grouped items.

The tape is also supplied in a convenient roll format. Therefore, users can cut each strip to the required length while reducing unnecessary material use.

Although the tape provides reinforcement, it should not be treated as a substitute for certified load-bearing strapping, lifting equipment or safety restraints. Always choose a securing method appropriate for the weight, shape and handling conditions of the load.

Choosing Between 24mm and 50mm Crossweave Filament Tape

The correct width depends on the size of the carton, the available bonding area and the forces expected during handling.

Choose the 24mm x 50m Crossweave Filament Tape for narrower seams, compact bundles and applications where precise positioning is helpful. Its narrower profile can also reduce unnecessary coverage on smaller packages.

Alternatively, choose the 50mm x 50m Crossweave Filament Tape when a wider strip and larger contact area are preferred. The 50mm width is particularly useful for broad carton seams and larger packaging applications.

For particularly demanding packing tasks, assess the complete packaging system rather than the tape alone. Consider the carton grade, product weight, closure method, handling process and transport conditions before use.

Crossweave Filament Tape for Heavy-Duty Cartons

Crossweave Filament Tape is ideal for sealing compatible heavy-duty cardboard cartons.

Before applying the tape, close the carton flaps correctly and make sure they meet evenly. Then apply the tape along the main seam, allowing sufficient material to extend onto the adjoining carton panels.

For additional reinforcement, suitable strips may be applied across vulnerable seams or edges. However, the required sealing pattern will depend on the carton, its contents and the distribution environment.

The strength of a completed package also depends on the condition and specification of the box. Therefore, damaged, damp or unsuitable cartons should be replaced instead of relying on tape to restore their original performance.

Crossweave Filament Tape for Bundling and Binding

The reinforced construction makes Crossweave Filament Tape useful for bundling compatible poles, frames and similar items.

First, arrange the items into a stable group. Then wrap the tape evenly around the bundle, taking care to create sufficient overlap.

For irregular or heavy items, use multiple securing points where appropriate. In addition, ensure that the tape cannot slide from the ends of the bundle during movement.

Avoid using the tape as a lifting sling or as the only restraint for loads where movement could create a safety risk. Instead, use approved strapping or securing equipment when required.

Preparing Surfaces for Crossweave Filament Tape

Correct surface preparation helps the adhesive make effective contact.

First, remove loose dust, dirt and packaging debris. Where necessary, clean the surface using a method that will not damage the material.

Next, make sure the application area is dry and free from grease, oil or other contamination. These substances can reduce adhesive contact and affect the finished seal.

Check coated, printed, recycled or textured surfaces carefully because adhesive performance can vary. For unfamiliar materials, test a small section before completing the full application.

Finally, allow cartons and other materials to reach a suitable application temperature in accordance with the supplied product guidance.

How to Apply Crossweave Filament Tape

Measure the carton seam or bundle before cutting the tape. Then allow enough material for suitable overlap and secure positioning.

Apply Crossweave Filament Tape without unnecessary twisting or folding. Next, press it down evenly across the complete strip, paying particular attention to the edges and ends.

Use a suitable cutting tool because the glass-fibre reinforcement can make the tape more difficult to tear by hand than standard packaging tape. Always follow the safety instructions supplied with the cutting tool.

Once applied, inspect the tape for lifted edges, poor contact or damaged areas. If the tape has not bonded correctly, remove it and prepare the surface again before applying a fresh strip.

Crossweave Filament Tape for Warehouses and Dispatch Areas

Crossweave Filament Tape is a practical addition to warehouse, dispatch and industrial packing stations.

The choice of 24mm and 50mm widths allows businesses to select a suitable option for different cartons and bundling tasks. Meanwhile, the 50m roll length provides tape for repeated applications.

Keep the tape close to compatible cutting tools and other packing materials. However, protect unused rolls from dirt, moisture and physical damage.

We supply Crossweave Filament Tape in individual rolls for delivery to UK mainland addresses. Please contact us if you require further product information before ordering.

Storing Crossweave Filament Tape

Store the tape in a clean, dry location and follow any manufacturer guidance provided with the product.

Protect the roll edges from contamination because dust and debris may interfere with adhesive contact. In addition, avoid crushing or distorting the roll during storage.

Where practical, retain the original packaging and keep the tape away from unsuitable temperatures or direct environmental exposure.

Before use, inspect the roll for visible damage or contamination. Then return unused tape to its designated storage area after completing the task.

Food Safety Information

Direct food-contact suitability has not been confirmed for this product.

Therefore, do not apply Crossweave Filament Tape directly to exposed food or surfaces intended to come into direct contact with food unless suitable manufacturer confirmation is available.

Where the tape is used on outer packaging, ensure that the complete packaging arrangement is appropriate for the intended product and supply chain.

PPWR Compliance Information

The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation, Regulation (EU) 2025/40, establishes sustainability, labelling and other requirements for packaging placed on the EU market.

If Crossweave Filament Tape is used as part of a packaging arrangement, assess the tape together with the carton, labels and other packaging components. In addition, consider how the tape may affect separation and recycling within the intended waste stream.

This product description does not constitute a declaration of PPWR compliance. Please contact us for available product information if you need to assess a specific packaging application.
