Shurtape

MD Packaging is a preferred distributor for Shurtape and the Shurseal solution in Canada.

MD Packaging relies on and recommends Shurtape to customers for their case formers and sealers and as standalone/drop-in upgrades to existing packaging lines. We aim to improve your bottom line and production efficiency by providing a product that has been constantly assessed/engineered and field tested with years of line experience.

Secure, easy-to-open adhesive solutions are critical to your bottom line and reputation. The time, money, and countless hours put into product development, quality measures, eye-catching packaging, and shipping deserve to get to the destination intact and to make the best first impression. Selecting the right tape is essential to achieving that.

Shurtape packaging tape’s enhanced adhesive is explicitly engineered for sealing highly recycled corrugated containers, particularly 100% recycled. The optimized adhesion formula increases shear and fiber tear on tape removal, offering tamper-evident security.

THE IMPORTANCE OF WIPE-DOWN FORCE

It’s important to note that all packaging tapes are pressure sensitive, meaning they require some type of wipe-down force to create a bond to the carton. The proper amount of pressure drives the Shurtape’s adhesive into the surface, allowing the adhesive to entangle itself deep within the fibers of the carton to create a secure seal.

In an automated setting, this force is provided by a tape applicator, which typically is designed with two rollers that are positioned at the front and rear of the unit. In many cases, the force generated by the rollers is not sufficient to create a secure seal, especially if you’re sealing under-filled cartons. With online shopping, under-filled containers are becoming more prevalent and present a major sealing issue for tape applicators. Under-filled cartons don’t have that resistance and therefore receive less force from the wipe-down mechanisms, which can lead to unsecure seals.

Shurtape paired its HP Series packaging tape with a PrimeLoc tape applicator to create the ShurSEAL Solution. The PrimeLoc tape applicator is designed with multiple, flexible wipe-down points, which allow for full utilization of the tape’s adhesive, even on under-filled cartons. This product has been tested and refined to deliver a carton sealing system that addresses concerns over weak seals. Shurtape packaging tape is uniquely engineered to create an instant bond to cartons and the PrimeLoc applicator is designed to deliver unmatched wipe-down force for secure, tamper-evident seals.
