Discover our new Ahlstrom MasterTape® Pack Crepe - Make your packaging lighter!

 

50% lighter than traditional PSA paper packaging tape backing, 100% more stretch

Ahlstrom's MasterTape® Pack Crepe is a well-balanced compromise between low-base weight and high-stretch properties that protects your goods during shipping or storage, all the while contributing to minimize environmental impact thanks to high-biobased content from well-managed certified forests.

It is a perfect fit for light-duty packages, and furthermore, the crepe texture allows the tape to conform to uneven surfaces and provides some flexibility.

Perfect fit for sustainable fiber-based pressure-sensitive packaging tape applications

 

Ahlstrom plays a crucial role in the packaging tape sector, providing tape backing solutions for both water-activated and pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes.
