Packing tape Donau Hot-Melt 48 mm x 132 m, 40 μm thickness, brown

Donau Hot-Melt packing tape, 48 mm x 132 m with a 40 μm hot-melt adhesive in brown is designed for reliable carton sealing in shipping, storage and light packaging operations. The tape combines a polypropylene backing with a hot-melt adhesive coating that delivers strong initial tack and a durable bond on standard corrugated cardboard surfaces. The roll fits common hand dispensers and is suitable for light automated sealing equipment, offering a practical balance between adhesive performance and economical material use.

Advantages

This packing tape provides rapid adhesion and secure closure of cartons thanks to its hot-melt adhesive formulation. The 40 μm adhesive layer improves contact with textured cardboard, reducing the risk of unsealed flaps during handling and transit. The polypropylene backing ensures adequate tensile strength and resistance to tearing while remaining flexible enough for manual application. The brown color conceals markings and provides a consistent appearance for packaged goods.

Suitable for

• Sealing corrugated cardboard cartons for shipping and fulfilment
• Warehouse and storage packaging applications
• Hand-taping with manual dispensers
• Light automated sealing lines and semi-automatic equipment

Key specifications

• Tape width: 48 mm
• Roll length: 132 m
• Adhesive type: hot-melt
• Adhesive thickness: 40 μm
• Backing material: polypropylene (PP)
• Color: brown

How to use

For manual application, mount the roll onto a compatible hand dispenser and position the tape across the carton seam. Apply firm pressure along the length of the tape to ensure full contact between adhesive and cardboard. For semi-automatic or light automated equipment, verify that the machine supports 48 mm tape width and set dispensing tension appropriate to roll length. Store unopened rolls in a dry, moderate-temperature environment to preserve adhesive performance.

Usage recommendations

Apply tape to clean, dry surfaces and press evenly to maximize bond strength. Avoid use on dusty, wet or highly textured substrates where adhesion may be compromised. For long-term storage of sealed cartons, allow adhesive to set for several hours before subjecting packages to heavy stacking or rough handling.
