Overcoming Common Case Sealing Issues with ShurSEAL®

As a manufacturer, ensuring that each carton is sealed securely is critical to preventing product damage, theft and costly reworks. Common case sealing issues include tape not sticking, unsecure seals and product loss due to mishandling or damage. These problems are often caused by a mismatch between the tape, application method, packaging machine and corrugated box.

The ShurSEAL® Packaging Solution is an automated case sealing system that combines high-performance Shurtape® packaging tape with innovative tape application technology to deliver consistent, reliable seals every time. Here’s how ShurSEAL addresses the most common sealing issues:

  • Tape not sticking: HP Series packaging tape applied with ShurSEAL offers 2.5x more adhesion than standard tapes, creating an instant, permanent bond to cartons and eliminating loose seals.
  • Unsecure seals: 71% more wipe-down pressure, creating a stronger bond between the tape and carton for a more secure seal. (may want to make this one first)
  • Risk of product damage: Folded Edge® Technology reinforces tape along vulnerable carton edges and allows cartons to be opened safely without the use of a knife.
  • Waste reduction: Stronger seals mean fewer damaged products and less wasted tape, reducing rework and downtime.
