When did the packaging tape appear and who invented it There are many sayings. Some people say that it was invented by the British in 1886, some say that it was invented by the Americans in 1879, and some say that it was Edison who invented the electric light. When packing the electric light, it is packaged with packaging tape. According to the above, the packing tape should have been used from the 1870s to the 1880s.
At present, there are hundreds of enterprises in dozens of countries producing packaging tape. The United States is the main country producing packaging tape materials, which is related to the industrialization development of the United States. The development of packaging tape and the development of industrialization complement each other. When the production is completed, the first thing is to pack, so the existence of packaging tape is very important. The development of production has led to an increase in the demand for packaging tape. Therefore, when a country 's industry develops rapidly, the development of its packaging tape is also very obvious.
The existence of packaging tape is inseparable from the competition of packaging materials. In the challenge of materials from ropes to nylon ropes, packaging tape shows its unique convenience. Since the packaging tape can easily package all aspects of paper and cartons, it is welcomed by users in terms of strength, economy and packaging speed. For this reason, packaging tape has become one of the most popular packaging materials.
The main object of packaging tape is the packaging of cardboard boxes. As the main object of cardboard box packaging, the development of lamps and cosmetics has also stimulated the development of packaging tape paper. In addition, in terms of food, many originally wooden box packaging has also been transferred to the cardboard box packaging form, which also makes the demand for packaging tape has been an unprecedented development.
The most important part of the packaging tape is the processing of glue. The research on this glue has also gone through a long time. From the original glue with obvious odor to the later use of plant-based materials, it was successfully developed by Americans and Europeans.
In terms of the form of expression of packaging tape, there are generally three kinds of paper packaging tape, cloth tape and plastic tape. However, although it is derived from the same material, many forms of tape have been developed, which play an important role in the packaging industry.
With the development of packaging tape, the market has put forward new requirements for it :
( 1 ) Tape is water-based. In use, as long as the contact part of the tape is wetted with water, it can be used conveniently and play a good bonding role.
( 2 ) Can be printed on the packaging tape, in various forms, rich color.
( 3 ) Requirements reflect pollution-free. Because packaging tape has been used in many places, for food safety considerations, pollution-free materials are also the needs of society.
( 4 ) Since the tape is mainly used for cardboard boxes, people also hope that this tape can be removed very simply without damaging the cardboard boxes when recycling the cardboard boxes. Therefore, the current R & D personnel have also considered and developed from this aspect, so that the packaging tape does not damage the cardboard itself.
