One Way Filament Tape

One Way Filament Tape for Strapping and Bundling

One way filament tape is the high-strength tape for holding loads together. Fibreglass filaments run the length of the tape, giving it high tensile strength along its length, so it holds firm when the pull is end to end, as it is when strapping, bundling and closing. An aggressive, shear-resistant adhesive keeps it locked down under load, and good chemical and moisture resistance means it holds up in a working environment. Premium Packaging supplies one way filament tape in bulk to warehousing, dispatch and manufacturing operations across Australia, delivered from our Sydney base.

What One Way Filament Tape Is Used For

• Strapping, holding and securing loads where a strap-like hold is needed
• Bundling, holding pipes, timber, rods and similar items together
• Palletising, adding security and stability to palletised loads
• Closing heavy cartons, reinforcing seals on heavier cartons and cases
• Unitising, holding multiple items as one unit for handling

Why Lengthwise Filaments

The lengthwise fibreglass filaments are what give this tape its strength. Because they run the length of the tape, the tensile strength is greatest along its length, which is exactly the direction the load pulls when you strap or bundle. That lets a strip of tape do the work of holding items firmly together, with the shear-resistant adhesive keeping it from creeping under load. For strapping, bundling and reinforcing where the pull is end to end, one way filament tape is the tool for the job.

One Way or Crossweave Filament Tape

The two filament tapes suit different loads. One way filament tape has filaments running lengthwise, for maximum tensile strength along the tape when strapping and bundling. Crossweave filament tape has filaments running both along and across, so it also resists splitting and tearing across the width, which suits edge-reinforcing and holds that pull in more than one direction. Choose one way for strapping and bundling, and crossweave where the tape needs strength in both directions. For heavier unitising beyond tape, strapping and accessories take the load.

Choosing the Right Width

Match the width to the load. Narrow 12mm and 18mm suit light bundling and holding, 24mm is a good general strapping and bundling width, and 36mm and 48mm suit heavier loads and pallet work where more hold is needed. Many operations keep two or three widths so the right roll is always to hand. One way filament tape also pairs with general purpose packaging tape for everyday sealing alongside the heavier holding work.

Order One Way 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. One way filament tape is supplied by the roll in cartons, with bulk and recurring supply available. If you are not sure which widths suit your loads, our packaging specialists can help.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is one way filament tape used for?

It is used for strapping, bundling, palletising and reinforcing, and for closing heavier cartons. Its lengthwise fibreglass filaments give high tensile strength along the tape, so it holds loads firmly together.

What sizes does one way filament tape come in?

It comes in 12mm, 18mm, 24mm, 36mm and 48mm widths, all on 45m rolls. The range covers light bundling through to heavier pallet and load work.

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

One way filament tape has filaments running lengthwise for maximum tensile strength along the tape, for strapping and bundling. Crossweave filament tape has filaments both ways, so it also resists splitting across, for edge-reinforcing and all-direction holds.

Is one way filament tape strong enough for pallets?

Yes. It has high tensile strength from fibreglass filaments and an aggressive, shear-resistant adhesive, so it adds security and stability to palletised loads and resists chemicals and moisture.

Can I order one way filament tape in bulk?

Yes. One way 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.
