Machine tape is the solution for automated packaging lines that require fast, efficient sealing of large volumes of cartons. It comes on long rolls (900 or 990 m) that reduce roll changes and line stoppages, and is designed for smooth unwinding at constant speed and tension. At MAVA Industrial we offer machine tape with all main adhesive types to meet the needs of different businesses and industries.
Advantages of Machine Tape
- Designed for automatic and semi-automatic case sealing machines.
- Long rolls – fewer changes and less line downtime.
- Strong, reliable adhesion at high speeds.
- Reduces packaging time and labour costs.
- Wide range of widths (38–75 mm), colours and thicknesses.
- Suitable for industrial and manufacturing lines.
Types of Machine Tape
Acrylic adhesive machine tape. Water-based adhesive with excellent clarity and resistance to ageing and UV light. Preferred for production and warehouse operations with long storage periods.
Solvent adhesive machine tape. Natural rubber adhesive for heavy packages, recycled cardboard and low temperatures. Exceptional bond strength.
Hot melt adhesive machine tape. Synthetic rubber adhesive with very high initial tack – the classic choice for high-speed case sealers at normal room temperatures.
How the three adhesive types differ and which one suits your conditions is covered in Packaging tape – acrylic, solvent and hot melt: which one to choose.
Machines that use machine tape
Machine tape is used on semi-automatic and automatic case sealers – for example the ROBOPAC Robotape 50 M, Robotape CF and Robotape TBD. See also our comparison of the most popular Robopac case sealers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between hand tape and machine tape?
Machine tape comes on long rolls (900–990 m) and is intended for automatic and semi-automatic machines; hand tape comes on shorter rolls (66–132 m) for hand dispensers. The adhesive types are the same.
What thickness should I choose for machine tape?
The total thickness of BOPP machine tape is typically around 40–50 microns; for heavy cartons and high loads choose the thicker option and a stronger adhesive suited to the carton surface.
