Shurtape has developed a packaging tape that allows for easy removal without the need for a knife or sharp object. This is a great help in the reduction of injuries in the workplace.
Shurtape, a leading manufacturer and marketer of pressure-sensitive tapes in the United States, has developed a packaging tape that eliminates the need for a knife or other sharp object when opening a package. According to a recent article on Shurtape’s website, nearly 30% of injuries in the workplace are from knife cuts. Because of the high risk, manufacturers are searching for ways to cut down on the chances of having knife-related injuries in the workplace. Shurtape is aiding the process with its ShurSEAL® Packaging Solution.
The ShurSEAL® Packaging Solution works due to its Folded-Edge® Technology. The Folded-Edge® Technology allows both edges of the packaging tape to fold along the package as the tape is applied. This process creates a dry edge along the length of the tape when applied, allowing the consumer to grasp and remove the tape with their hand. Because the edge of the tape is reinforced, a stronger seal is created.
When shipping a carton or package, it is essential that the package is sealed with a strong packaging tape to avoid tearing or opening during the shipment process. Packaging tapes with the strongest adhesives are often used, but they are also the hardest to remove. Because of that, knives have always been used in the removal process to make it quicker and easier. But with Shurtape’s ShurSEAL Packaging Solution, the packaging tape can be removed easily without the need of a knife or sharp object.
