Why use customised tape design?

One of the most valued benefits adhesive tapes can bring to your designing & manufacturing process is their endless flexibility. Whether you’re looking for a better way to manufacture existing products, have a unique design or you’re just testing a prototype, customised tapes might just be the solution for you.

Why customise?

Adhesive tape can be customised into special and unique designs to fit into your product and manufacturing processes. This results in increased flexibility in product design, enhanced functionality, reduced cost and simplified handling and application.

Advantages include:

• easy-to-handle bespoke component
• various shapes and constructions (multilayer laminates)
• flexibility and creativity in your product design
• increased productivity (time saving)
• automation
• reduced costs (reduced waste)

Ways to customise

Adhesive tapes can be customised by tape manufacturers or external tape converters. With relevant tape, it is possible to: 

• Slit to a variety of widths and lengths to fit the production process
• Die-cut into many shapes (standard or according to customer specification)
• Laminate with further materials for additional functionality
• Adapt die-cut shapes in a convenient format for ease of application
