You are absolutely right and the pendulum is swinging back towards paper tape in a very significant way. In terms of strength and durability, it is good to note that the two industries that have always remained in paper tape and never went to plastic, are the graphic arts (printers) and hardware/fastener people which are two of the toughest, heaviest products shipped in boxes. We appreciate your comments and hope you will be a regular visitor and contributor. Dennis Phil, thank you for sharing your expert insight since you work in this area of packaging every day.

We have seen numerous companies switch to water activated tapes from other less green materials and they have actually seen measurable gains in either lower material costs and or higher productivity. Going green can be easier than many think. Excellent comments.
