Core Stick Tape®Made in Japan

Mechanism by which indentation marks are generated

At the start of winding, a level difference is created by adhesive tapes, whose thickness is added to the thickness of a film.
This level difference generates indentation marks on the second and later layers of the film.

A film is wrapped onto adhesive tapes, generating indentation marks at intervals corresponding to the circumference length.

Measures against indentation marks when using core starting tapes

Cost reduction effect

Loss reduction length/roll × Number of rolls processed per year = Loss reduction length of the product per year
(Loss reduction length/roll × Product cost/m) − (Length of the tape used/roll × Price difference/m after changing the tape) = Cost reduction amount per roll of the product
Cost reduction amount per roll of the product × Number of rolls processed per year = Cost reduction amount of the product per year

Usage of Core Stick Tape® by users

Visibility required to prevent careless mistakes

The striped printing ensures visibility, facilitating alignment and preventing failure to attach the tape.

Hand cutability which ensures workers’ safety and increases efficiency

The tape can be torn by hand without using a cutter or scissors. This helps reduce the risk of industrial accidents and enables quick attachment.

High adhesive strength with low tack

The tapes firmly stick to various types of films and reduce the changeover error during winding.
The tapes also ensure ease of reattachment to various types of cores.

No need to wipe off cores using solvents

Core Stick Tape® is characterized by minimal adhesive residue, eliminating the need to wipe off cores using solvents after use. This helps mitigate health hazards and extend the service life of cores.

Reduction of the core loss of processed plastic products helps reduce waste plastics generated at manufacturing sites.
Polyethylene and polypropylene, which are typical plastic materials, theoretically generate 3.1 kg of CO2 per kg when burned. In one example, reduction of loss by introducing Core Stick Tape® led to reduction of waste plastics by 7.5 t/year and CO2 equivalent emissions by about 23 t/year per manufacturing site.
In recent years, global initiatives are underway to review the consumption and disposal volume of plastics to realize a sustainable society and conserve the global environment.
Plastic-related manufacturing companies also face the issue of how to contribute to such initiatives.
The Core Stick Tape® lineup offers core starting tapes which help address this environmental issue with substantial results.
