Adhesives provider, tesa, has introduced a new type of tear tape, tesa® 51344. Conventional tear tape is a thin strip of adhesive material applied to packaging to facilitate easy opening. It typically utilizes a plastic backing material, such as polypropylene, to create a controlled tear, allowing the consumer to easily open the package without the need for additional tools or excessive force. However, it is often the only component of paper-based packaging that is not recyclable.
