Packing tapes use three main adhesive types. Each behaves differently when temperatures change.
Rubber-based adhesive stands out for one reason: it works consistently from cold to warm. Acrylic stiffens in the cold. Hot melt softens in the heat. Rubber keeps holding.
Our self adhesive kraft tape with rubber glue takes advantage of this property. It seals boxes in freezer warehouses just as reliably as sun-heated loading docks.
Cold Conditions
Most rubber-based tapes stay flexible down to -20°C. The adhesive grabs cardboard even when both are cold.
Warm Conditions
Standard grades hold continuously at 80°C. High-heat versions work at 80°C for export containers or summer shipping.
Temperature Swings
Products moving from cold warehouse to hot truck face constant change. Rubber adhesive maintains grip through the cycle without failing.
Cold Storage Facilities
Warehouses running at freezing temperatures need tape that applies and holds in the cold. Rubber adhesive works when acrylic tapes fail.
Summer Shipping
Trucks bake in direct sun. Boxes near metal walls get hot. Rubber-based tape resists softening when temperatures climb.
Export Containers
Containers cross climates. What starts in cold Beijing may end in hot Dubai. One tape handles both ends.
Frozen Food Packaging
Boxes leaving freezer facilities stay sealed during transit. Rubber-based tape is specified for these applications.
Warehouse with Seasonal Temperature Changes
Unheated warehouses get cold in winter, warm in summer. Rubber adhesive performs year-round.
| Property | Standard Grade |
|---|---|
| Backing | Natural kraft paper |
| Adhesive | Natural rubber |
| Temperature Range | -20°C to 80°C |
| Width Options | 24mm to 72mm |
| Length Options | 25m to 100m |
| Core Size | 3-inch |
| Shelf Life | 24 months when stored properly |
Good fit for:
Cold storage and freezer facilities
Summer shipping in hot climates
Export containers crossing temperature zones
Warehouses without climate control
Applications needing strong initial tack
Better options exist for:
Outdoor storage with direct sun exposure
Applications requiring clean removal
Long-term color stability needs
Keep rubber adhesive tapes in cool, dry conditions. Avoid direct sunlight. Use within one year. For cold application, warm tape to room temperature first if possible.
How cold is too cold?
Our standard grade works at -20°C. If you need colder, specialty grades exist. Tell us your temperature.
Will it fail in summer heat?
Standard grade handles 80°C continuous. That's 140°F—hotter than most shipping environments.
Does it work on recycled cardboard?
Yes. Rubber adhesive bonds aggressively to recycled fiber and used boxes.
Can I use it for frozen food?
Many customers do. Check your food safety requirements first.
Does it leave residue?
Rubber adhesives are permanent. They bond to stay. If you need removable tape, choose acrylic instead.
