Tape heads affect seal quality
A case taper can only seal consistently if the tape head is in good condition and matched to the tape. Wear or contamination can cause poor wipe-down, bad cuts or tape drag.
Selecting the right tape-head details
Tape width, roll core, adhesive and machine mounting style should be checked before replacing or servicing a tape head.
Common symptoms
Problems include tape not cutting, tape not sticking, tape flagging, inconsistent tape length and cartons catching around the head.
Information to send
Provide photos, machine details, tape width, current symptoms and, if possible, a short video of the carton passing through the sealer.
Next step
For a practical recommendation, send carton dimensions, packed case weight, tape details, target output and photos of the current packing area. The aim is to match the case taper to your cartons and workflow, not to force a standard machine into the wrong process.
