Introducing Rippatape® Halo, our game-changing, patent-pending, paper-based Rippatape® that provides frustration-free access to paper & board-based packaging.
For those who see the opportunity for packaging to play a powerful role in the world around us without losing functional benefits, Rippatape® Halo helps brands and converters around the world meet their environmental goals whilst delivering a positive opening experience.
This brand-new solution is the first paper tear tape in the Filtrona Tapes ECO Range, providing customers with more circular curbside recyclable packaging options. It is externally certified as recyclable with paper achieving an A+ level via the Italian National Recyclability Standard: UNI 11743 and MC 501: 2017 criteria.
With a tearing performance comparable to our market-leading Rippatape® 60, Rippatape® Halo does not compromise on the easy opening credentials of its plastic alternative. Crucially, Rippatape® Halo is recyclable along with paper and board packs, is fully reclaimable, eliminates the plastic film used in standard tear tapes, and focuses on fibre recovery.
Rippatape® Halo is ideal for opening lightweight corrugated carton and fibreboard and results from over four years of painstaking lab testing.
Today’s packaging has to be much more than just a protective layer. In an era of environmentally aware consumers maintaining sustainable and healthy lifestyles, the demands on packaging manufacturers, designers and brands have never been greater.
Customers won’t tolerate a choice between sustainability and convenience: they expect both.
In a recent consumer survey conducted by Filtrona Tapes, 70% of respondents identified frustrations with packaging. 43% reflected that recyclability was among their top three issues with the packaging they received, but alongside this, 57% of those polled highlighted difficulty opening packaging as a top packaging frustration. Furthermore, cartons with no opening device ranked #2 for most frustrating pack types.
This reinforces why brands covet packaging solutions that provide good end-of-life options without compromising convenience or performance.
With today’s duelling priorities of competitive pricing and a drive towards sustainable practices, retailers may feel stuck between a rock and a hard place. For the last decade, sustainability has grown in the consumer consciousness; nearly 70% say buying from brands committed to sustainability is vital.
Concern over the environmental impact of products is an established phenomenon, but since 2017, there has been a revived interest in sustainability, focused specifically on packaging. This is reflected in central government and municipal regulations, consumer attitudes and brand owner values communicated via packaging.
With growing concerns about various issues, from product safety to the ethical sourcing of packaging materials to recycling and carbon emissions, consumers want to know more about the products they buy, their packaging, and the brands they’re buying from. As sustainability has become a key motivator for consumers, brands increasingly focus on packaging materials and designs demonstrating their environmental commitment.
Our renewed investment in modern, intuitive applicator technology and field engineers makes deploying tapes, including the innovative Rippatape Halo®, even more accessible for brands and converters than ever.
