Essentra Specialty Tapes introduces six of their trusted core products available now in Finger Lift format: DK Film®, DK Film® Acrylic, DK Film® Hi-tack Acrylic, Duraco® Red, Duraco® Gold and Dubl Kote®. Additional to Essentra’s core products, they are releasing three new families of box closure tapes specifically designed for overnight mailers, corrugated mailers and other applications such as transit packaging.

Finger Lift tapes are double-sided tapes that offer customers ease-of-use in terms of time and labor efficiency compared to edge to edge liners. The Finger Lift format is a dry edge liner distributed evenly on both sides beyond the width of the adhesive strip. The extended liner allows for quick and easy removal which allows for less frustration with end users.

Most Essentra Finger Lift tapes can be custom converted to various sizes for any project need and are suitable for industries such as Point of Purchase, printing, packaging, converting and paper splicing.

Now available in Finger Lift format:
