COLOUR TAPES
Multi colour tape is designed to combine strong adhesion with visual functionality, making it ideal for organization and identification purposes. It is widely used for color coding in warehouses, offices, and industrial environments. The vibrant color options help in quick recognition, improving efficiency in sorting and handling processes. Despite its visual appeal, the tape maintains reliable adhesive strength for secure sealing and bundling.

Practical Applications of Colour Coding
How leading logistics hubs, factories, and textile exporters utilize VIMA TAPES colour variants to optimize lean packaging workflows:
| Colour Coding Purpose | Practical Implementation Example |
|---|---|
| Product Category Identification | Differentiate cartons of separate product lines, styles, or SKU families using agreed colour codes. |
| Warehouse Zone & Rack Assignment | Help picker and stower personnel visually recognize assigned storage aisles, mezzanines, and picking zones. |
| Batch or Lot Separation | Provide an instant secondary visual cue to isolate manufacturing dates, inspection lots, or dye batches. |
| Dispatch Destination Sorting | Segregate domestic carrier routes, regional distributor shipments, or priority air cargo at the loading dock. |
| Packing Stage & Quality Visibility | Indicate internal QA workflow status such as 'Inspection Passed', 'Assembly Complete', or 'Hold for Audit'. |
| Department or Shift Coding | Implement site-specific visual differentiation between day/night production shifts or assembly lines. |
| Corporate Brand Presentation | Coordinate carton presentation with brand color guidelines for retail-ready or unboxing experiences. |
Operational Best Practice: Tape colour codes are designed to complement—not replace—mandatory compliance labels, barcodes, and shipping marks. Display an approved colour-to-purpose matrix across your packing lines so all shifts adhere to identical procedures.

Material Construction & Adhesive Technology
Why VIMA TAPES coloured rolls dispense smoothly, provide vibrant visual opacity, and grip firmly under demanding operational conditions.
Coloured BOPP Film Backing
Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene (BOPP) film is extruded and stretched in machine and transverse directions to develop exceptional tensile resilience and tear resistance. Pigments are blended uniformly into the film to ensure vibrant, non-fading colours without altering mechanical integrity.
- Provides high dimensional stability and edge-nick resistance
- Corona-treated backing ensures permanent adhesive anchorage without peeling
Water-Based Acrylic PSA
Formulated with high-grade aqueous acrylic polymer emulsions. Pressure-sensitive adhesives create instantaneous molecular bonds under moderate manual or roller pressure without requiring heat activation. It provides exceptional tack and continuous resistance to gravitational shear stress.
- High resistance to thermal aging, UV exposure, and moisture
- Environmentally compliant, 100% solvent-free, and odorless
Film Thickness vs. Coating GSM
Total tape gauge combines base BOPP film thickness and dry adhesive coating weight (GSM). Coating weight dictates bonding security across porous or recycled kraft cardboard, while base film gauge provides tensile burst resilience and prevents snapping under carton memory recoil.
- Higher GSM (23–30 GSM) bridges uneven fibers on heavy 5-ply cartons
- Micrometer-calibrated thickness ensures seamless roll-to-roll consistency
Core, Slitting & Roll Conversion
Coated master jumbo logs are slit on precision high-speed slitter-rewinders. Razor-sharp rotary knives yield burr-free roll edges and uniform tension winding that unwinds cleanly without edge-tearing or web wandering on manual dispensers or automatic case sealers.
- Heavy-duty 3-inch (76 mm) paper cores resist distortion and crush in transport
- Jumbo rolls up to 1315 mm wide and custom roll lengths up to 1000 m available
Technical Testing & Quality Considerations
Colour tapes undergo the same rigorous ASTM physical and adhesive testing as standard packaging tapes, with additional quality audits for colour shade consistency:
180° Peel Adhesion
Measures tensile peel force (N/25 mm) to detach tape from a mirror-finished stainless steel test plate at 180°, validating instant adhesive grab on carton surfaces.
Tensile Strength & Elongation
Evaluates longitudinal tensile resistance (≥60 to 115 N/25mm) and elongation (120%–160%) to prevent snapping during high-speed case sealing.
Holding Power / Static Shear
Tests adhesive resistance to sustained gravitational shear loads (≥24 to 72 hours), ensuring carton flaps stay securely closed during extended storage.
Rolling Ball Initial Tack
Measures initial wet grab as a steel sphere rolls along an inclined ramp onto the tape face (#14–#18 ball size), ensuring quick seal formation upon light wipe-down.
Colour Shade Consistency
Rigorous shade checks ensure repeat orders match agreed color reference standards, preventing confusing shade drift across different production batches.
Slit Precision & Unwind
Rotary knife slitting checks guarantee square, nick-free edges across 12mm to 72mm widths, ensuring jam-free dispensing without edge-tearing or web drift.
Note on Batch COA Reports: The published catalogue figures represent general engineering specifications. For corporate and institutional tenders, batch-specific Certificates of Analysis recording exact measured peel strength, tensile elongation, and shear holding times for your selected color are provided upon request.
