Hey there! As a supplier of Frozen BOPP Packing Tape, I often get asked if our tape is suitable for packing food. It's a valid question, and today, I'm gonna break it down for you.
First off, let's talk about what Frozen BOPP Packing Tape is. BOPP stands for Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene. It's a type of plastic film that's been stretched in two directions during manufacturing, which gives it strength and clarity. Our Frozen BOPP Packing Tape has a special adhesive that sticks well and can withstand different temperatures, making it great for all sorts of packing jobs.
Now, when it comes to using it for food packing, there are a few things to consider. One of the main concerns is food safety. The tape shouldn't contaminate the food. Our tape is made with materials that are generally considered safe, but it's not specifically designed or tested for direct contact with food.
In most cases, food products are first packed in containers or wrappers that act as a barrier between the food and the outside environment. This means that the tape is usually only in contact with the outer packaging. If the tape doesn't come into direct contact with the food, the risk of contamination is significantly reduced.
However, if you're thinking about using the tape for food that's going to be stored for a long time, you need to be extra careful. Over time, some chemicals in the tape might migrate through the packaging and reach the food. This is especially true if the packaging is thin or porous.
Another factor to consider is the temperature. Our Frozen BOPP Packing Tape is designed to work well in cold temperatures, which is great for packing frozen foods. But extreme temperatures can affect the adhesive. If the tape gets too cold, it might become brittle and lose its stickiness. On the other hand, if it gets too hot, the adhesive might melt and leave a mess.
Let's take a look at some of the different types of BOPP packing tapes we offer. We have the Machine Use BOPP Adhesive Packing Tape. This tape is great for high - speed packing machines. It has a consistent adhesive coating, which ensures smooth operation and reliable sealing.
Then there's the 2inch 50mm Paper Core BOPP Adhesive Packing Tape. The paper core makes it easy to handle and unwind. It's a popular choice for small - to - medium - sized packing jobs.
And for those heavy - duty packing needs, we have the Heavy Duty Packing Tape. This tape is extra strong and can hold up well under pressure. It's perfect for packing large or heavy food items.
So, is Frozen BOPP Packing Tape suitable for packing food? Well, it can be, but with some limitations. If you're using it to seal the outer packaging of food products and there's a proper barrier between the tape and the food, it should be fine. But if you're considering direct contact with food, it's best to look for tapes that are specifically designed for that purpose.
