Crossweave Filament Tape

Crossweave Filament Tape for Heavy Duty Palletising and Reinforcing

Crossweave filament tape is a reinforced tape built for the jobs that need real holding strength. Fibreglass filaments run in two directions, along the tape and across it, so it holds firm whichever way the load pulls and resists splitting along its length. Paired with an aggressive, shear-resistant adhesive, it suits heavy duty palletising, bundling, reinforcing and sealing heavy cartons. Premium Packaging supplies crossweave filament tape in bulk to warehousing, manufacturing, logistics and dispatch operations across Australia, delivered from our Sydney base.

• Reinforcement: fibreglass filaments in both directions (crossweave) for strength length and across.
• Adhesive: aggressive, shear-resistant adhesive.
• Resistance: good chemical and moisture resistance.

What Crossweave Filament Tape Is Used For

• Heavy duty palletising, holding and unitising loads on a pallet
• Bundling, banding pipes, timber, profiles and other long or heavy items together
• Carton reinforcing, strengthening edges, corners and seams on heavy cartons
• Tabbing and holding, securing appliances, doors and moving parts for transport
• Sealing heavy cartons, where a standard film tape would not hold

Crossweave or One-Way Filament Tape

The two filament tapes suit different jobs. One-way filament tape has filaments running lengthwise only, so it is strong along the pull, which suits bundling and strapping where the tension runs along the tape. Crossweave has filaments in both directions, so it holds strength across the width as well and resists splitting, which suits palletising, reinforcing carton edges and any job where the load pulls more than one way. If most of your work is lengthwise bundling, one-way is the match; for all-round reinforcing and palletising, crossweave is the stronger choice.

Filament Tape or Strapping

For lighter bundling and unitising, filament tape does the job quickly with nothing more than a knife or dispenser. For the heaviest, most rigid loads, strapping takes over, giving higher tension and a stronger hold. Many operations keep both, using filament tape for fast bundling and reinforcing and strapping for heavy palletised loads. For everyday carton sealing, standard packaging tape remains the right choice, and cloth tape covers rough-surface holding and colour-coding.

Choosing the Right Width

Match the width to the task. Narrow widths from 12mm to 24mm suit bundling, tabbing and light reinforcing, 36mm and 48mm handle general palletising and carton reinforcing, and 72mm and 96mm suit heavy unitising and wide seams. Many operations keep two widths so the right roll is always to hand. Our team can help you set up the right mix.

Order Crossweave Filament Tape for Your Business

Choose the widths and quantities that suit your work and order them with the rest of your tapes and dispensers from one supplier with Australia-wide delivery. Crossweave filament tape is supplied by the roll in cartons, with bulk and recurring supply available. If you are not sure which widths suit your operation, our packaging specialists can help.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is crossweave filament tape used for?

Crossweave filament tape is used for heavy duty palletising, bundling, carton reinforcing and sealing heavy cartons. Its fibreglass filaments run in both directions, giving strength whichever way the load pulls.

What sizes does crossweave filament tape come in?

It comes in 12mm, 18mm, 24mm, 36mm, 48mm, 72mm and 96mm widths, all on 45m rolls. The range covers everything from light bundling to heavy unitising.

What is the difference between crossweave and one-way filament tape?

Crossweave has filaments in both directions, so it holds strength across the width and resists splitting, suiting palletising and reinforcing. One-way filament tape has lengthwise filaments only, so it is strong along the pull, suiting bundling and strapping.

Can filament tape replace strapping?

For lighter bundling and unitising, filament tape is a fast alternative. For the heaviest, most rigid loads, strapping gives higher tension and a stronger hold, so many operations keep both.

Can I order crossweave filament tape in bulk?

Yes. Crossweave filament tape is supplied by the roll in cartons in bulk, with recurring supply available for regular reorders, delivered Australia-wide from our Sydney base.
