Why Switch to Paper Application Tape?

Application tape is used on almost every graphic project. Yet many professionals still rely on plastic tapes simply because they always have.

Today, there is a better alternative.

The Natural Choice

Paper application tapes such as RTape Conform® (4075RLA) deliver the reliable performance sign makers expect while significantly reducing environmental impact.

The question is simple:

If our paper application tape performs just as well, why keep using plastic?

Lower Environmental Impact

A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) research comparing RTape’s paper (4075RLA) and plastic (AT75.1) application tape shows that our paper application tape can generate up to 45% less Global Warming Potential (GWP) vs our plastic application tape.

This is achieved through:

✔ Renewable paper based raw materials

✔ Reduced fossil fuel dependency

✔ Lower carbon emissions throughout the product lifecycle

A simple switch can make a meaningful difference.

Proven Performance

Sustainability only matters if the product performs.

RTape has specialised exclusively in application tapes for decades, allowing us to develop solutions that deliver consistent and reliable results every day.

Paper application tapes such as Conform® offer:

✔ Excellent layflat performance

✔ Easy unwinding

✔ Reliable transfer results

✔ Multiple tack levels for different vinyl types

For many applications, there is no compromise when switching from plastic to paper.
