When choosing kraft paper tape suitable for printing, several key factors need to be considered, including paper material, adhesive properties, printability, and brand quality. Here are the details:
Paper Material
Grammage: Common grammages of kraft paper tape include 80 grams per square
meter, 100 grams per square meter, 120 grams per square meter, and
so on. The higher the grammage, the thicker the paper, and the
better its stiffness and strength. It is suitable for printing
detailed and complex patterns or text, as it can withstand the
pressure during the printing process without easily deforming. If
only simple logos or lines are to be printed, kraft paper tape with
a lower grammage can meet the requirements and also reduce costs.
Fiber Quality: High - quality kraft paper tape is made from long - fiber wood
pulp. The fibers are closely and evenly arranged, and the surface
is smooth. Such paper has good ink absorption, resulting in bright
and clear printed colors. Moreover, after printing, it can maintain
good flatness and is not prone to curling, wrinkling, or other
issues.
Adhesive Properties
Tackiness: Select the tape with appropriate tackiness according to the usage
scenario. If it is used for express parcels, carton sealing, and
other scenarios that require long - term fixation, a tape with
stronger tackiness should be chosen to ensure that it does not come
loose during transportation. For some situations where temporary
fixation is needed or the surface of the adhered object is easily
damaged, a tape with slightly weaker tackiness can be selected,
which is easy to tear off and leaves no residue.
Temperature Resistance: If the printed kraft paper tape needs to be used in different
environmental temperatures, such as in high - temperature
warehouses or low - temperature cold - storage environments, the
temperature - resistance performance of the adhesive should be
considered. Generally, high - quality adhesives can maintain good
tackiness and stability at different temperatures and will not
experience glue - off or embrittlement.
Printability
Surface Treatment: Kraft paper tape with special surface treatment, such as matte or
high - gloss coating, oil - and - water - resistant coating, etc.,
can better adapt to different printing processes and inks. For
example, the tape coated with an ink - absorbing coating can make
the ink dry quickly and adhere firmly, which is suitable for high -
speed printing. The tape with a waterproof coating can be printed
with water - based inks to meet the packaging requirements for
waterproof performance.
Compatibility: Ensure that the kraft paper tape is compatible with the printing
equipment and inks used. Different printing equipment (such as
offset printers, flexographic printers, digital printers, etc.) has
different requirements for the tape. For example, offset printers
require the tape to have a certain hardness and smoothness on the
surface to ensure uniform ink transfer; flexographic printers have
certain requirements for the flexibility and elasticity of the
tape. At the same time, different types of inks (such as oil -
based inks, water - based inks, UV inks, etc.) also have different
bonding properties with the tape, and the selection needs to be
made according to the actual situation.
Brand and Quality
Reputation and Credibility: Choose well - known brands of kraft paper tape. Usually, these
brands have more stringent standards in production processes and
quality control, and the product quality is more stable and
reliable. The reputation and credibility of the brand can be
understood by checking product reviews, consulting other users, or
industry professionals.
Quality Certification: Check whether the product has passed relevant quality
certifications, such as ISO quality management system
certification, environmental protection certification, etc. These
certifications can be used as strong evidence of product quality
and environmental performance, ensuring that the selected kraft
paper tape meets relevant standards and requirements.
