tesa 51128 Soft Strapping 66 m x 50 mm white MOPP strapping tape for securing pallets with printed cartons

tesa 51128 Soft Strapping 66 m x 50 mm white is a soft strapping tape made of uniaxially oriented polypropylene MOPP, designed for safely bundling and stabilising cartons on pallets. The special natural rubber adhesive system provides reliable holding power while allowing clean removal of the tape without damaging printed or labelled packaging.

Thanks to its high tensile strength and controlled elongation, 50 mm wide tesa 51128 is an excellent choice for logistics, warehousing and e-commerce applications where both load security and carton appearance are critical.

Advantages and unique features

• Soft MOPP strapping tape – conforms well to carton edges without stiffening the box.
• Natural rubber adhesive – secure fixation with low adhesion to steel for easy tape removal.
• Clean peel-off – removes without adhesive residues or discolouration of printed surfaces.
• High tensile strength – stable load securing during transport and storage.
• 50 mm width – larger contact area with the carton and better pressure distribution.
• White, neutral colour – neat appearance and good readability of the print under the tape.

Properties and applications

• Pallet securing: strapping printed or labelled cartons without the risk of damage.
• Load stabilisation: additional 50 mm wide straps around shipping units and pallet loads.
• Labelling and temporary fixing: short-term carton closure, bundling packs, writing shipment details directly on the tape.
• In-house transport: securing shipments between warehouses, production and order-picking areas.
• Premium brand logistics: protecting marketing-printed packaging where clean tape removal is essential.
