Cross weave filament tape is one of the most effective options for heavy cartons, export consignments and pallet stabilisation where load stress can act in more than one direction. The polypropylene backing of this filament packing tape is reinforced with glass fibres running both lengthways and across the tape, which is what prevents tearing or bursting under sustained load. Hot melt rubber adhesive bonds immediately on contact with paper, board and polyethylene stretch wrap. RAJA Polypropylene Filament Tape 110 Micron is available in 25mm, 48mm and 75mm widths on 50m rolls. It handles cartons over 30kg and performs from 15°C to 60°C.
A dispenser or knife is required as glass fibre reinforcement means you can’t tear by hand.
It’s the right choice when load stress is bi-directional, such as carton seams that could split lengthways or across, pallet loads that shift in multiple axes during transit, and export consignments that need maximum reinforcement.
Hot melt rubber adhesive bonds instantly on contact, but surface temperature and cleanliness determine how well it holds under load.
Right for bi-directional load stress and heavy cartons. If load stress is lengthways only, or the requirement is for a premium branded specification, a sibling grade is the better fit.
Cross weave filament tape has glass fibres in both directions, resisting stress in both axes; monofilament fibres run lengthways only, so it handles lengthways tension but not lateral bursting.
Yes. Apply horizontally over stretch wrap at mid-pallet height, the hot melt rubber adhesive bonds directly to polyethylene film without a primer or dwell period.
The bi-directional glass fibre grid that makes this tape suitable for loads over 30kg also makes it impossible to hand-tear safely, so a blade dispenser or knife is required.
RAJA cross weave is 140 micron total; the 3M alternative is 145 micron with an 18-month shelf life. RAJA is the volume grade, 3M suits premium or branded specification requirements.
Filament strapping tape is used when the carton needs structural reinforcement, such as overweight cartons, export loads under stacking pressure, or pallet stabilisation, where polypropylene film would split under sustained load.
The minimum temperature hold is 15°C, so this tape isn’t suitable for cold-chain application.
RAJA cross woven filament tape is supplied by RAJA, which holds ISO 9001:2015 accreditation: independently audited quality management for consistent product quality and reliable supply.
