Ahlstrom is extending its product range of pressure-sensitive adhesive packaging tape applications. MasterTape Pack supplements the fiber-based product offering supporting megatrends like e-commerce and the global need for more sustainable packaging solutions.

There are approximately 30 billion square meters of packaging tape worldwide, and the numbers are growing with the expansion of e-commerce. The market is currently dominated by plastic tape, constituting 80% of all packaging tape. However, there exists a more sustainable alternative in the form of paper tape, which paves the way for a plastic-free future for packaging. Ahlstrom is a key player in the packaging tape industry and has excellent know-how in fiber-based solutions. By providing fiber-based tape backing solutions for water-activated and pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) tapes, Ahlstrom helps its customers become more sustainable.

Ahlstrom's MasterTape WAT and MasterTape Pack offer a high-quality product range for packaging tape applications.

Ahlstrom is a global leader in combining fibers into sustainable specialty materials.
