Tear tape

Linear Products (Vancouver, WA) has introduced 1/4" Sesame® Tape Plus tear tape. When applied to corrugated boxes, it enables retailers, consumers or industrial suppliers to open boxes without a knife.

This eliminates product damage, as well as possible injuries. It consists of hot melt on synthetic fiber with kraft backing. Requires a pull tab to be cut into the box at the time of converting, although most converters are equipped to do this, says the company.
