A glass manufacturer was using a filament tape for bundling glass. They had been using this product for years and had never occurred to them that another product could be more cost effective.
The PDA Way
We provided a proactive cost savings initiative that would better serve our customers needs with specialty tape:
- This tape was better suited for their application, while providing the same break strength and natural rubber adhesive.
- The specialty tape is a great option for applications that require higher strength than carton sealing tape, and greater elongation and conformability than filament tape.
- It also provides a clean removal from glass which was a necessity for our client.
Do you want to change the way you bundle, reinforce, protect, or seal your products?
What was the outcome?
The total cost savings after switching from filament tape to a tensilized polypropylene tape was 56% per year. Our client also experienced reliability with a superior bond to surfaces, as well as value with conformability to multiple applications.
