Independent tape manufacturer since 1962
Supertape is an independent Dutch manufacturer of self-adhesive industrial tapes based in Etten-Leur and has been producing since 1962. The company develops its own pressure-sensitive adhesives and carries out the entire process in-house: from adhesive development to coating (coating weights from 18 to 350 g/m²) to printing and converting into machine rolls, spool-wound rolls and labels. Carrier materials include PET, BOPP, MOPP, PE, PP, non-woven, fabric, paper (incl. FSC® paper) and foam. The product range comprises duct tapes, double-sided tapes, carton sealing tapes, carry handle tapes, reclosable tapes (incl. MultiSeal™ and TapeSeal), tear tapes, reinforced tapes, fingerlift tapes, mounting and carpet tapes as well as self-adhesive protective films.

Carrier materials and adhesives
Polyester carrier (PET)
Carrier material for double-sided tapes, fingerlift and carry handle tapes as well as food-safe tapes.
Biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP)
Used in carton sealing tapes, tear tapes and food-safe tapes for splicing and core starting.
Monoaxially oriented polypropylene (MOPP)
Carrier material for mechanically high-load tape applications.
Polyethylene (PE)
Carrier for PE tapes in construction, e.g. for asbestos remediation, insulation fastening and protective films.
Polypropylene (PP), mono-material
Basis for recyclable reseal tapes in mono-material packaging such as the X-CYCLE doypack solution.
Paper (incl. FSC® paper)
Carrier for FSC® paper tear tapes, carton sealing tapes and reinforced tapes.
Non-woven
Carrier material e.g. for carpet tapes and conversions into machine rolls.
Fabric
Carrier for duct tapes, reinforced tapes, mounting and carpet tapes with high tensile strength.
Foam
Carrier for double-sided mounting tapes as an adhesive alternative in construction.
Pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSA)
In-house adhesive development with coating weights from 18 to 350 g/m² for different applications.
