Kraft Flatback Tape
Product Description
FKT6 Kraft Flatback Paper Packaging Tape is a brown color kraft flatback paper coated with a natural/synthetic rubber blend adhesive system. Good for carton sealing applications, moderate demand splicing applications, tabbing and/or core starting. Complies with Postal Regulation for Uninsured Packages. May be used in picture framing applications to seal back of frame/artwork due to its ability to stick to its own backing. This tape is a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape and does not need water to activate it like a gummed paper tape. The tape is hand-tearable and is not repulpable.
This tape has a more matte (less shiny) surface than Shurtape FP-96 Kraft paper tape. Also please note that since this is a very soft tape you will often times see gapping and pressure points along the side of the rolls once it is cut to width; however this will not affect the performance of the tape.
