As the chill sets in during the winter months many Australian businesses often start noticing a frustrating trend in the warehouse: tape that just won’t stay stuck.
If you are finding that your cartons are popping open before they even leave the dispatch floor, you aren’t alone.
At Knight Packaging Supplies, we’ve been helping Australian businesses navigate these sticky situations since 1974.
The Science of Cold Tack
In the packaging world, we talk a lot about cold tack—the ability of an adhesive to bond to a surface in low temperatures.
Many budget tapes are designed for temperate climates, but as the temperature drops, the adhesive can harden and become brittle.
Instead of biting into the fibres of your cardboard boxes, the tape simply sits on top, leading to failed seals and damaged goods.
Quality vs. Budget: The True Cost of Cheap Tape
Tape is our biggest seller, and for good reason—we know what works. While it might be tempting to opt for a budget roll to save a few cents, we’ve seen first-hand that cheap products often end up being the most expensive choice.
- Budget Tapes: Often use inferior adhesives that lose all grab when the mercury dips.
- The Knight Quality Range: We only supply well-known, quality brands because we believe in providing products that cause very little problems for our customers.
- Performance: Our tapes are selected to maintain a strong bond even during winter, ensuring your packages stay secure from our warehouse to your customer’s door.
