In the world of rigid box manufacturing, precision and quality are paramount. At LD Davis, we’ve been providing industry-standard gelatin glues for years, and now, we are excited to feature our innovative stay tape to enhance packaging solutions further.
The Role of Stay Tape in Rigid Box Manufacturing
Stay tape is a crucial component in the construction of rigid boxes. It is used to reinforce the corners of boxes, ensuring structural integrity and durability. The application process involves a plunger forming the box, after which the stay tape is applied using heat and pressure. This process not only strengthens the box but also prepares it for the wrapping phase, where it gains its final aesthetic appeal.
Meeting Industry Demands with Stay Tape
Our decision to introduce stay tape into our product line was driven by feedback from our valued customers. They expressed a need for more options in stay tape that align with the high standards they’ve come to expect from LD Davis. Our stay tape is designed to meet these needs, offering both brown kraft and white options to cater to various specifications. We partner with ICMA to supply a diverse range of FSC-certified paper products.
Brown Kraft Stay Tape
Our brown kraft stay tape is coated with a heat-activated vinyl resin adhesive, making it ideal for all types of paperboard. It boasts a wide heat seal temperature range, ensuring reliable adhesion under various conditions. This recyclable option offers medium-duty (60 lbs.) and heavy-duty (90 lbs.) weights and comes in 3/4" and 7/8" widths. The inner core diameter is 2 inches, fitting seamlessly into standard machinery setups.
White Stay Tape
For those seeking a different aesthetic, our white stay tape offers the same high-quality vinyl resin coating on white virgin kraft paper. It is designed to meet the demands of all cardboard boxes, with a medium-duty weight of 50 lbs., a heat seal range of 275°F - 500°F, and available in 3/4" and 7/8" widths. Like our brown tape, it features a 2-inch inner core diameter.
