• Why does tape not stick to my recycled corrugate boxes?

  Recycled cartons are made from fibers that have been broken down and reformed. This process results in shorter, denser fibers, which require additional materials to bind them together. This denser structure can create a less porous surface, making it more challenging for tape to adhere effectively. At KeyPak, we have specialized tape for closing recycled corrugate boxes to ensure the adhesion and strength you need. Reach out to us and we would be happy to assist with your needs.
