38 Micron vs 42 Micron BOPP Tape: Which One to Choose?
· Product Knowledge
The micron of a BOPP tape indicates its approximate overall thickness. However, thickness alone should not be the only factor considered while selecting packaging tape.
38 Micron BOPP Tape
A 38 micron tape may be suitable for:
- Light and medium-weight cartons
- Regular office and warehouse packing
- Short-distance transportation
- Businesses with high daily tape consumption
It can provide an economical packaging solution when used on suitable cartons.
42 Micron BOPP Tape
A 42 micron tape may be suitable for:
- Medium and heavier cartons
- Longer transportation routes
- Rougher handling conditions
- Cartons requiring stronger tape performance
It generally offers greater strength and durability than a lower-micron tape of comparable quality.
Micron Is Not the Only Factor
Two tapes of the same micron may perform differently. Customers should also check:
- Adhesive quality
- Actual roll length
- Tape width
- Film strength
- Core size and weight
- Carton surface
- Storage temperature
Which Tape Should You Choose?
Choose tape according to your carton weight, surface quality, storage conditions and transportation requirements. Buying only on the basis of price per roll may increase total packaging cost.
