RippaTape is a self-adhesive tear tape, which gives fast, safe and immediate access to the contents of corrugated and fibreboard cartons removing the top - completely for shelf display.

Produced from either monoaxial oriented polypropylene (MOPPI) or high density polyethylene (HDPEI), and coated with a specially formulated pressure-sensitive adhesive, it is designed to tear through most grades of fluting and board.
