Valuable items which are shipped in paper envelopes or cardboard boxes need to be protected properly from theft and package tampering. E-tailers want to provide their customers with the best possible unboxing experience, and easy and reliable opening of packaging is a must. Our TECHNOMELT® pressure-sensitive and side seam adhesives generate a strong fibre tear, which ensures that e-commerce products reach customers safely. A premature opening of the side seam or closing flap will not go unnoticed in the supply chain. The PSA adhesives can be used with commonly used application equipment and will withstand the extreme temperature demands at fulfilment and distribution centres.

Envelope Peelable Pressure-Sensitive Seal

Studies suggest that almost one in four packages ordered online are returned. This creates a huge challenge for both the supply chain and returns processing infrastructure, but also with regard to the design of the package. The integration of both an adhesive seal and re-sealing strip for parcel returns ensures that the customer can safely return their ordered items and that packaging can be re-used a second time, saving valuable resources. Furthermore, using an easy-to-use sealing liner as a means of closing the package adds flexibility for the consumer, who does not need to rely on the availability of tape.

Henkel's wide range of pressure-sensitive adhesive for e-commerce packaging offers a variety of benefits, such as:

  • Tamper evidence on packaging
  • Improved opening experience for consumers through coupling with a tear strip
  • Applicability for package returns
  • Reliable order processing even at low temperatures
  • Suitability for manual and machine sealing
  • Maximised productivity through supporting commonly used application equipment
  • Improved sustainability of packaging

Henkel solutions for tamper evidence on e-commerce packaging help you to DELIVER YOUR BEST.
