Featured Answer
What is BOPP tape and why is it the world’s most widely used packaging tape?
BOPP (Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene) carton sealing tape is the dominant packaging material in global logistics and e-commerce. The biaxial orientation process stretches the polypropylene film in two directions, producing exceptional tensile strength, moisture resistance, and dimensional stability. Tongxie Tape manufactures BOPP tape with acrylic or hot-melt adhesive systems, in thicknesses from 40 to 60 microns — from light e-commerce fulfillment through to heavy industrial export packaging.
