Chill-Proof Solutions: How Our Custom Tapes Tackle Freezing Temperatures with Ease

Let’s face it, the packages that you send out will, at some point, encounter temperatures that are near or below freezing. Knowing how to handle these temperatures with your custom printed tapes are important. Phoenix Tape & Supply offers several different kinds of custom tapes for a variety of applications, but dealing with the cold can sometimes present challenges. We can show you how to use our regular custom tape in these cases, as well as the option of our hi-tack freezer tape for other applications. Not sure just what kind of tape would work best for your needs? Contact our team today and we will provide you with the important details so you can choose the right custom printed tape for your organization.

How Temperature Affects Tape

All tape has an adhesive portion to it that makes it stick to whatever it is applied to. In most cases this adhesive needs to be used at a range of indoor room temperatures in order to work as efficiently and effectively as possible. As the temperature goes down, this adhesive is less and less effective, to the point where it won’t work at all when initially applied. However, when applied at the right temperature and allowed the chance to really bond with the material it is applied to, the adhesives will continue to hold as temperatures go down.

Applying regular custom printed tape in cold conditions, say at 30 degrees, doesn’t really work because the adhesive is too cold to properly hold to the material it is applied to. But, in most cases, if applied at the right temperature range, your custom printed tape will hold in colder conditions for a while, such as when being delivered to your clients.

Tapes Designed to Work in Cold Conditions

Along with our range of custom printed tapes we offer hi-tack freezer tape which has a more unique adhesive to it. This means that you can apply this custom low temperature tape in lower temperatures, and it will adhere properly to the material it was used on. Additionally, these packages can be stored for longer periods of time in cold conditions, such as a freezer, without losing the adhesive integrity. This means your packages stay sealed until they are purposefully opened by your customers.

Many organizations choose to use this custom low temperature tape with their packages because they want them to remain sealed as they travel through areas that have lower temperatures, such as northern climates, or they know that their packages will be kept in cold rooms like freezers. At Phoenix Tape & Supply, we offer a variety of custom printed tapes that will suit nearly any need.
