BOPP clear packing tape and acrylic clear packing tape are related, but they are not exactly the same thing. Here’s the breakdown:
1.
BOPP (Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene) Tape
-
BOPP refers to the film material used for the backing of the tape.
-
It is strong, lightweight, and resistant to moisture and chemicals.
-
Almost all standard packing tapes use BOPP as the base film.
2.
Acrylic Clear Packing Tape
-
Acrylic refers to the type of adhesive used on the tape.
-
Acrylic adhesives are UV resistant and have a long shelf life.
-
They stick well over time, especially in varying temperature conditions.
So:
-
BOPP tape can have different types of adhesives: acrylic, hot melt, solvent-based, etc.
-
Acrylic tape is most often BOPP-based, but it’s defined by its adhesive.
Conclusion:
They often refer to the same general product, but technically:
-
“BOPP tape” emphasizes the film backing.
-
“Acrylic tape” emphasizes the adhesive type.
If you’re looking for a strong, long-lasting clear packing tape for boxes, BOPP tape with acrylic adhesive is a very common and reliable choice.
