What Is a Tear Tape? Why Choose EkoTear 68150?

Tear tapes are narrow strips integrated into packaging to allow easy, tool-free opening. Traditionally made from plastic films, tear tapes improve convenience and user experience. But as the industry shifts toward more sustainable packaging, paper-based solutions are gaining popularity. EkoTear 68150 is EKO-TECH’s introductory sustainable tear tape, made from creped kraft paper with a natural rubber adhesive. Though not as tear-resistant as filmic versions, it provides sufficient performance for many everyday packaging needs—especially where lightweight cardboard or thinner paper is used.

This solution is ideal for customers looking to reduce plastic usage while maintaining opening functionality in eco-friendly packaging. EKO-TECH offers standard sizes, but also develops custom tear tape formats for special packaging projects, tailored to customer requirements.
