Packaging Tape, This Way Up

This Way Up Tape for Safe, Upright Handling

Keeping goods in the correct orientation is one of the simplest ways to prevent transit damage. Our this way up tape combines secure carton sealing with unmistakable handling guidance: the black arrow symbol shows “top” clearly on first contact with the box. With one strip you close the carton and mark its orientation, saving time at the packing bench and reducing the chance that a package is stacked or moved the wrong way up.

PP film with permanent acrylic adhesive

The tape is made from tough, lightweight polypropylene (PP), a material chosen across the industry for its balance of strength and efficiency. The permanent acrylic adhesive forms a consistent bond on common packaging materials, from fresh corrugated to recycled boxes, wooden pallet collars and stretch‑wrapped bundles. In day‑to‑day use that means fewer re‑tapes, fewer popped flaps and fewer surprises when a pallet arrives after a long haul.

High‑contrast symbol

The up‑arrow symbol is printed in rich black on a white background for high contrast. UV‑cured inks provide excellent resistance to scuffing and fading as cartons slide across conveyors or are handled by forklifts. The pictogram follows EN‑standard warning‑symbol proportions, so the meaning is understood without reading any language. Whether the shipment is going across town or across borders, the arrows communicate orientation immediately.

Dimensions that fit the job

Each roll is 50 mm wide and 66 m long: an efficient combination that suits typical warehouse workflows. The width provides coverage to secure major carton seams, while the length gives enough tape for sustained packing runs without frequent roll changes. Because this size is standard in packing stations, you can use existing 50 mm tape dispensers and holders without retooling.

Cleaner material choice

The PP film is 100% recyclable and contains no chlorinated plastics. That makes end‑of‑life handling straightforward compared to PVC alternatives. The acrylic adhesive is designed for dependable long‑term hold on corrugated and plastics used in transport packaging, so boxes stay shut and the up arrows stay in place throughout the journey.
