Mailers, Mailers, Mailers!!
Mailers, Mailers, Mailers!! Securing those fragile items safely in an envelope for sending by mail or courier requires a special package. Many mailers are made of film with air encapsulated bubbles to provide a cushion of your valuable items. Many mailers are used by fulfillment companies to ship goods by courier or USPS and require multiple tapes to use. And while the cushion is important to provide a safe haven for the fragile item, multilayer films are also used for this application. But the other key is securely sealing that mailer to ensure safe delivery without opening. Infinity Tapes HKC 65 & 67 series of permanent double coated, closure tapes provide an absolute closure system on all film materials. These tapes have a film release liner that is easily cut with a hot wire or hot knife. These products can be supplied with our various liners in solid white color, printed with a message or with anti-static properties for non-cling removal. Additionally, if the mailer is a paper kraft envelope with bubble inserts, our DF 55 & 65 series of permanent double coated closure tapes are perfect for the paper lip application. These have a printed paper release liner that is easily cut with a normal cutting devise for the paper envelope.
Product Spotlight
One of our most popular double coated paper release liner tapes is our DF 58. This is a tissue carrier with an aggressive, permanent adhesive on both sides with a 42# SCK paper release liner. It is also available with a 53# SCK release liner. With the finger lift, extended liner feature, this product is great for paper envelope closure, such as business envelopes and paper/bubble envelopes and is used extensively for all types of mailers made of paper or cardboard. This product is also user friendly for point of purchase (POP) displays due to the extended liner for easy assembly. Available printed with our standard message, To Expose Adhesive Remove Liner, we can also custom print the liner with any message desired by you or your customer!

Things to Know
Infinity Tapes adhesive technology is based on hot melt adhesives, which are unique in their own right. These adhesives exhibit a soft and pliable structure, which provides the ability to flow into the fibers of paper as well as adhere well to low surface energy films. However, the adhesives do have a narrow band of operating temperature from approximately 30 degrees F to about 150 degrees F. Ideally, the tapes should be applied at an ambient temperature to allow a secure bond. In another edition of our newsletter, we discussed proper storage conditions. If these adhesives are stored at colder or hotter temperatures than recommended, they should be “conditioned” prior to application. Meaning bringing them to an ambient temperature level prior to applying them. Remember, these are chemicals and thus reactive to environmental conditions.
