Tear tape manufacturer Payne reports growing interest in the use of its Rippatape easy opening system for the boxboard industry – in shelf-ready packaging (SRP) applications.
A key concern is the speed and safety with which SRP systems can be converted from transit cases to display trays. It is this aspect that has led many corrugated manufacturers to look at Rippatape, according to Payne. The tape is applied during board manufacture to enable an integral opening device that can be opened in seconds, leaving a clean cut finish to maintain an attractive on-shelf appearance.
The company reports a 10 per cent rise in sales over the last year and anticipates further growth “as FMCG packaging buyers recognize the easy opening benefits of Rippatape”.
The tape is produced from monoaxially oriented PP and coated with a pressure sensitive water based adhesive for good board adhesion. An extensive range of tear tapes is available to suit most applications and board grades, including solid red and white colours, printed red chevron, and customized printed designs for promotional campaigns and brand messages.
Payne manufactures its own range of applicators, including include the semi automatic PRS350, designed to run at up to 350m/min with fast set-up, and the Budget Applicator, a manually activated mechanical system that can be retro-fitted to the corrugator and laminator.
