of the Natural Environment
The product is certified with the Biomass Mark 85%.
NichiRica's gummed tape product "Rica Tape" is certified with the "Biomass Mark 85%." It contains plant-based materials, which helps reduce the use of petroleum resources and greenhouse gas emissions. Plastic tapes need to be removed as foreign substances during the recycling process. Rica Tape, however, is made with paper as its base material and natural materials like corn in the adhesive, allowing it to be recycled together with cardboard. It is a sustainable product that is environmentally friendly.
High Productivity
Labor Saving and Efficiency
Labor Saving and Efficiency
When performing sealing operations, the tape dispenser (tape feeder) provided by NichiRica, compared to commercially available kraft adhesive tape hand cutters, can significantly increase work efficiency and improve productivity by more than 20%. Additionally, by using an automatic sealing machine, it is possible to reduce labor and save effort.
Security
The tape prevents theft, tampering, loss, and foreign object contamination as it does not peel off improperly due to overheating or similar issues. This also helps prevent transportation-related problems.
Strong Adhesive Strength
Weather Resistance
Weather Resistance
The tape forms a strong bond with cardboard, ensuring a perfect seal. It is also resistant to temperature changes, unaffected by freezing or high-temperature storage.
QR Code Printing Capable
Since the tape surface is not coated with a release agent, it is possible to print or write on the tape surface. Printing logos, barcodes, or QR codes is feasible, making it an effective tool for company or product promotion.
The Difference Between NichiRica's Tape (Water-Activated Tape) and Kraft Adhesive Tape
NichiRica's Tape(Water-Activated Tape)
A tape made with natural starch glue that develops "adhesive strength" when one side is wetted.
Kraft Adhesive Tape
A tape coated with a sticky "adhesive" on paper or fabric.
In general, the majority of tapes used in households are "kraft adhesive tapes" that utilize petrochemical-based adhesives. In contrast, NichiRica’s Tape (Water-Activated Tape) adheres when moistened with water, similar to a postage stamp. NichiRica’s Tape (Water-Activated Tape), "RicaTape," uses an odorless, non-toxic starch-based adhesive developed through proprietary technology. It is made from natural ingredients and is 100% water-soluble, easily disintegrating, allowing it to be recycled along with cardboard. In today's world, where environmental issues are of paramount importance, this product is highly valued for its recycling suitability. It is a sustainable product that is friendly to the natural environment and contributes to the future of our planet.
