Essentra Tapes has launched the first tear tape for flexible packaging. This new SupaStrip PCR is made from recycled polyester (rPET) and contains 70 percent post-consumer resin (PCR) in a single ply, 23micron film.

Like all Essentra tear tape solutions, SupaStrip PCR is easy to implement within flexible packaging lines and intuitive to use, providing fast, safe, and immediate access to the contents. In addition, the ability to print the tape allows a diverse range of brand messages and logos to be added for enhanced on-shelf impact and consumer interaction.

SupaStrip PCR is suited for PET based packaging films.

Ian Beresford, head of marketing and development for Essentra, said: “The addition of SupaStrip PCR to our range is another step on our sustainability journey and cements our commitment to providing customers with environmental packaging solutions without compromising on product performance.”

SupaStrip PCR is suited for PET based packaging films, making it the good partner for bottles and shrink sleeves where the use of one material type creates a simple recycling route for consumers.

As well as ensuring ease of opening, using SupaStrip PCR means knives or other sharp implements are removed from the process thereby minimising the risk of product damage and possible personal injury. At the same time, the tamper-evident nature of tear tape gives a clear indication if a product has been opened previously, providing customer confidence in the goods they buy.
