BOPP packing tape is the industry standard for securing shipments and sealing cartons. It is manufactured using biaxially oriented polypropylene film, which provides excellent clarity and strength. This film is coated with high-performance acrylic adhesives that ensure a reliable bond on various surfaces, including corrugated cardboard and plastic.
In the UAE logistics and manufacturing sectors, reliable packaging is essential for protecting goods during transit.
AAB Industries
provides premium BOPP solutions that offer high resistance to splitting and tearing. Our tapes are suitable for both manual application and automatic case sealing machines.
What is BOPP Packing Tape?
BOPP stands for Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene. This means the plastic film has been stretched in two directions to increase its strength and clarity. When combined with a modified acrylic or solvent adhesive, it creates a pressure-sensitive tape that is ideal for bundling and packaging. It is widely preferred due to its cost-effectiveness and durability.
Key Features of BOPP Packing Tape
High tensile strength to prevent breakage during high stress applications
Excellent clarity for use over labels and printed information
Resistant to environmental factors, including UV light and moisture
Available in various thicknesses and adhesive types for specific needs
Industrial Applications
Logistics and Shipping
Warehouses and shipping hubs use BOPP packing tape for high volume carton sealing. It provides a secure closure that withstands the rigours of local and international transport.
Manufacturing and Bundling
Manufacturers rely on this tape for bundling products and securing pallet loads. The strong backing ensures that items stay together during movement within the facility.
Branding and Security
Printed BOPP tape allows companies to display their logos and handling instructions. This enhances brand visibility. It also adds a layer of communication with the receiver, as special messages are also being printed on tapes.
Types of BOPP Packing Tape
Water-Based BOPP Tape
This variant uses a modified acrylic emulsion adhesive. It is an environmentally friendly option that provides excellent performance for general industrial use and standard carton sealing.
Solvent-Based BOPP Tape
The solvent-based variant offers increased peel strength and tensile strength. It is designed for more demanding applications that require a stronger initial tack.
Printed BOPP Tape
Printed tape combines the strength of our standard 45 micron tape with customisable branding. It provides an excellent seal while improving security through tamper evidence.
Colored BOPP Tape
Modified acrylic emulsion adhesive on BOPP film, available in multiple colours for colour-coded packing, branding and warehouse sorting.
Technical Documentation
and Storage
Accessing detailed product information is essential for ensuring compliance with your packaging standards. We provide comprehensive PSTC and GB method data sheets for all our BOPP tapes.
Proper storage is critical to maintaining the adhesive quality. Tape should be stored in a cool and dry sheltered area. It is important to avoid storage in direct sunlight to prevent degradation of the acrylic emulsion.
The application surface must be dry and clean and free of dust or oil and other contaminants to ensure maximum adhesion. For the best results, the tape should be used within 12 months of delivery.

BOPP Packing Tape FAQ
Q) What is the difference between water-based and solvent-based BOPP tape?
Water-based tape uses a modified acrylic emulsion, which is cost-effective and eco-friendly. Solvent-based tape offers a more aggressive initial tack and higher peel strength for heavy-duty applications.
Q) Can BOPP packing tape be used in cold storage?
Yes, our BOPP tapes are rated for temperatures as low as -10°C. This makes them suitable for many cold storage environments in the UAE.
Q) Is custom printing available for all sizes?
We offer custom printing on various widths from 12mm up to 1850mm. You can choose from a wide range of colours, including brown, clear, red and blue.
Q) What is the shelf life of BOPP packing tape?
When stored in a cool and dry area away from direct sunlight, the tape should be used within 12 months of delivery for optimal performance.
Q) What is the lead time for bulk orders?
We maintain large stock levels in our Dubai facilities. Standard orders are typically processed and delivered within two to three working days.
