Why Switch to Paper Application Tape?

Application tape is used on almost every graphic project. Yet many professionals still rely on plastic tapes simply because they always have.

Today, there is a better alternative.

The Natural Choice

Paper application tapes such as RTape Conform® (4075RLA) deliver the reliable performance sign makers expect while significantly reducing environmental impact.

The question is simple:

If RTape’s paper application tape performs just as well, why keep using plastic?

Lower Environmental Impact

A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) research comparing RTape’s paper (4075RLA) and plastic (AT75.1) application tape shows that RTape’s paper application tape can generate up to 45% less Global Warming Potential (GWP) vs their plastic application tape.

This is achieved through:

✔ Renewable paper based raw materials

✔ Reduced fossil fuel dependency

✔ Lower carbon emissions throughout the product lifecycle

A simple switch can make a meaningful difference.

Proven Performance

Sustainability only matters if the product performs.

For many applications, there is no compromise when switching from plastic to paper.
