Eco-responsible, Quiet and Durable: The Perfect Packaging Solution
RAJA recycled low noise tape is a 32 micron polypropylene sealing tape made from 100% recycled polypropylene film, combining quiet unwind with a lower reliance on virgin plastic. The water-based acrylic adhesive bonds on contact with paper and board, is UV-stable, and performs from -5°C to 60°C, the same specification as the standard low noise grade. Available in brown and clear, 48mm wide on 66m rolls. Weight capacity under 30kg.
Requires a dispenser to cut. Sold in packs, priced per roll.
What is this recycled low noise tape best for?
This recyclable parcel tape is the right choice for operations that need both noise reduction in the packing environment and demonstrable use of recycled materials, without changing dispenser, width or packing process.
- Open-plan offices, retail environments and shared packing areas where standard unwind noise is disruptive AND recycled content is a procurement requirement.
- Fulfilment and despatch operations with sustainability targets that also operate in noise-sensitive environments.
- Cartons up to 30kg where the 32 micron film and higher total thickness of 53 micron gives more confidence than lighter-grade low noise options.
- UV-exposed environments. Acrylic adhesive is UV-stable and won't yellow or lose tack in direct light.
Not for
- Cartons over 30kg: use a heavy duty alternative for heavier loads.
- Below -5°C: for deep-freeze environments, a specialist cold-chain tape is required.
- Operations requiring kerbside recyclability: recycled polypropylene film isn't kerbside recyclable; opt for paper alternatives where it's required.
How to use
Water-based acrylic adhesive bonds on contact, the lower peel resistance is what reduces unwind noise, not bond quality.
- Check surface temperature: Apply at -5°C or above; acrylic holds tack at lower ambient temperatures than hot melt, but reliability cannot be guaranteed below -5°C.
- Load the dispenser: Fit the 76mm core roll into the recommended pistol grip dispenser. Consistent dispenser tension maintains seal quality and gives the quietest, most controlled unwind.
- Seal the full carton seam: Apply with a 50mm overlap onto each carton face and press firmly to avoid seal failure.
- Store correctly: Store at 15–25°C below 65% humidity. Shelf life is 12 months from manufacture.

Frequently asked questions
Is this tape kerbside recyclable?
No, recycled polypropylene film isn't kerbside recyclable; the recycled content designation refers to the use of post-consumer recycled material in production, not end-of-life carton recyclability.
Is the bond strength the same as standard low noise tape?
Yes, the same water-based acrylic adhesive is used; the recycled film backing doesn't affect adhesion or seal performance within the stated weight and temperature range.
