Understanding Micron Thickness in BOPP Tapes

Micron (μm) measures the total thickness of the tape, comprising both the BOPP film base and the acrylic glue coating layer.

  • 38–40 Micron: Suitable for lightweight boxes up to 5 kg.
  • 42–45 Micron: Standard industry size for medium boxes (5 kg to 15 kg).
  • 50–65 Micron: Heavy duty grade for double wall export cartons exceeding 25 kg.

Always verify both coat weight and film gauge when selecting tapes for cold storage or high humidity transit environments.
