Customised Tape

Here at POS Tapes we pride ourselves in all our products and our high quality of customer service. When a customer has a problem we do everything we can including designing and manufacturing new products to solve their display issues.

Recently we were approached by a well-known high street retailer with over 400 store country wide with a problem they needed fixing. They had a specific request for a crystal clear removable product that would be able to stick heavy posters of 500g to the glass windows for their in-store displays for long periods of time and would also be able to withstand all types of weather changes.

Collecting all their requirements the POS team had an internal discussion with our technical and manufacturing team to find a solution. In doing so we decided that we could use our 3257 removable ProLINK and transform this from a Pad of 22mm x 22mm x 0.5mm to rolls of 50mm x 10m as we manufacture those onsite.

By doing so we were able to give our client a product that could accommodate for the weight requirements and was easier to handle in small roll form both for shipping and for their display teams.

However the main reason in choosing the ProLINK 3257 over any other POS Product was the fact it is a removable product. The ProLINK 3257 will remove cleanly from the glass after 4 weeks in the window and it will remove from the poster without damaging, therefore saving them a lot of time and money on reprints.

After our client tested the product for themselves we are proud to say this was a success and will be in-store for the Christmas displays.

This is something that we are more than happy to do for any client here at POS Tapes, Should you require any bespoke adhesive solutions please do not hesitate to contact our team to discuss on sales@postapes.co.uk or 0191 2697810.

ATG Tape 999

POS Tapes are heavily involved in the print finishing and point of sale industries. We offer the adhesive solution to any requirements there are.

Recently, we had a customer contact us through our website. They had a problem with their current ATG tape from a different supplier. The adhesive didn't seem to be strong enough to stick to the new printed plastic material. This is a company who produce wallets for a large Blue-Chip company. Needless to day, that resolving this problem was of utmost priority.

After a search on the web and a call to our sales team to discuss the application, POS Tapes arranged free samples of our 999 ATG Tape on a next day delivery service. After a one week initial testing period and subsequent successful application of the product, we are now the proud new supplier to this company.

For more information about any of our tapes or specifically the 999 ATG Tape, please contact our sales team by email on sales@postapes.co.uk or via phone on 0191 296 7810.

We can offer you the same excellent expert advice and provide samples to help with your adhesive needs.

Application Instrutions for Adhesive POS Tapes Products

POS Tapes have a large range of tapes and adhesives to cover every needs and individual or company might have.

Below are a few pointers on how to get the best results from any adhesive product you purchase from POS Tapes.

Temperature

As a general statement, the best temperature for bonding adhesive tapes is between +15°C and +30°C.

Low temperature application is possible for modified adhesive systems, but there may be a compromise on the ultimate bond strength.

Surface

The surface of the parts must be clean, dry and free of moisture and condensation.
The surfaces must also be free of oil, fat, dust and other contaminants.
Porous surfaces can be primed to ensure a uniform, stable surface.

Cleaning

The cleaning of the surfaces has to be done with clean cloths together with suitable solvents, like alcohol or ethers, to remove any dust and oil.

For release agents and other contaminants you can use the following solvents: isopropanol-water mixture 50:50, heptane, ethanol, acetone, MEK or other suitable solvents that do not attack the substrate to be bonded. The selected solvent must be checked thoroughly before being used and the safe use of solvents must always be taken into consideration.

Pressure

Adhesive tapes are pressure sensitive (PSA’s). The initial application pressure is critical to the ultimate performance of the adhesive tape. The target application pressure is 10-15N/cm², which is best provided by a roller or press. When application is only possible by hand, a firm even and overall pressure is essential and is best provided by use of an applicator or rubber based ‘squeegee’.
Firmer adhesive classes (such as pure acrylics) require more initial application pressure than soft ones.

The full bonding power of hard adhesives is attained between 24 and 72 hours, depending upon the substrates, application pressure and the application environment.

Force and Stress

Where possible, avoid leverage of the bonded components for as long as possible after assembly.
Shear and peel forces have to be evenly distributed across the whole of the bonded surface areas. During assembly, permanent shear loads should be avoided, as this will adversely affect the viscoelastic bonding. (e.g. arched, curved or bowed surfaces should be mechanically clamped and held for the bond to be effective)

Suitable Materials 

Typically, good adhesion can be attained on smooth surfaces, for rough surfaces you will also require a thicker tape or alternative product format.

Good or easily bonded surfaces are: metals, high energy surfaces such as smooth wood, ABS polycarbonate, PMMA, hard PVC, wood, stone and glass.

Critical Materials

Guidance should be sought for low energy surfaces, particularly plastics, where plasticisers may be present, which can adversely affect the bond. These critical surfaces such as polyethylene, polypropylene, rubbers, powder coats, silicones, polyurethane, Teflon and varnishes should be tested for performance and compatibility prior to specifications or recommendations for use are made.

Storage

The storage of adhesive tapes should be at room or ambient temperature and at 50-70% relative humidity and out of direct sunlight.

Extremes and fluctuations in storage temperature and humidity should be avoided.
