Crathern rigid box machines have been a staple in the packaging industry for decades. While Crathern & Smith no longer manufactures new box-making machines, their equipment remains widely used in production facilities. Finding the right adhesive and stay tape solutions for these legacy machines is essential for maintaining efficiency and product quality. LD Davis provides PFAS-compliant protein glues and stay tape specifically formulated for Crathern rigid box machines.
Why Stay Tape is Essential in Rigid Box Production
Stay tape reinforces the box structure by securing the corners before wrapping. As a glue-backed, heat-seal tape, it plays a crucial role in ensuring rigid boxes maintain their integrity throughout handling and transportation. Without proper adhesion, boxes may weaken, compromising their aesthetic and functional qualities.
