Benefits of Buy One Get One Free
Roaming through shops its seems to be the Buy 2 for £X has replaced the Buy One Get One Free offers, even the buy 3 and get the 4th half price is becoming ever more popular. Retailers and supermarkets seem to always have some sort of offer on the go allowing consumers to disregard their brand loyalty for those that are on offer. More often waiting for when their brand is on offer and bulk buying.
One complication from replacing the Buy One Get One Free is allowing the consumers the time to work out if this is an affordable matter, will they need to replace something in their trolley or basket? Sometimes to afford the offers on the go they are not as always cost effective and other such questions. This is giving the time to abandon the idea all together. Buy One Get One Free allows the consumer to recognise the saving they are making and create the positive emotions that come with the word FREE making the rest of their shopping experience enjoyable.
In larger supermarkets walking up and down the aisle the deals are very clearly displayed at eye level with Clip Strips and customers are drawn to their proposition whether it is 2 for £X, Buy One Get One Free or many other promotions, Jumping out from the shelves using shelf wobblers or neatly hanging in between store offers by Hang Tabs are now everywhere.

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.

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.
Low temperature application is possible for modified adhesive systems, but there may be a compromise on the ultimate bond strength.
The surfaces must also be free of oil, fat, dust and other contaminants.
Porous surfaces can be primed to ensure a uniform, stable surface.
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.
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.
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)
Good or easily bonded surfaces are: metals, high energy surfaces such as smooth wood, ABS polycarbonate, PMMA, hard PVC, wood, stone and glass.
Extremes and fluctuations in storage temperature and humidity should be avoided.

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.

POS Tapes at Euro Shop Dusseldorf
POS Tapes recently exhibited at the world’s leading retail fair Euro Shop in Dusseldorf, Germany.
Euro Shop is one of the World’s major retail exhibitions and with over 109,000 visitors from 110 countries it is a 5 day event not to be missed.
It was a very exciting opportunity for POS Tapes to exhibit at this prestigious show as it gave us the chance to expand our presence in the European Point of Sale market.
It was also a great opportunity to meet up with our existing customers and suppliers across Europe & the World as well as meeting new customers and creating new working relationships.
At POS Tapes it is all about the customer: we want to understand what demands they face in their businesses and how we can help them to make their life easier.
Euro Shop was the perfect launch date for our new Automatic Hang Tab application machine. This machine enabled us to show our customers and prospects how hang tabs can be automatically applied to a product. This makes the process of displaying products in a retail environment quick and easy, giving our customers more time to look after their customers!
It was 5 days of making new contacts and establishing relationships with customers and suppliers whilst at the same time learning more about the Point of Sales industry across the world.
We are proud of all the the inquiries we have received and we shall have your samples and quotations out in the next days. We will be back in 2017, exhibiting at the show again and we are already looking forward to it.
Thank you for everyone who visited us at the show.
We are looking forward to doing business with you in the future.
You can always contact the POS Tapes team on +44 (0)191 2697810 or email us at sales@postapes.co.uk.
