VpCI Protected Tape, “Cortec VpCI Protected” – 36 Rolls per Carton (Cortec®)

Description

VpCI® Protected tape is printed packing tape marked “Cortec VpCI® Protected”, supplied 36 rolls to a carton: it seals the carton and tells everyone downstream that the contents are under VCI protection and should stay sealed. A VpCI package works only while it stays closed; a carton taped with plain tape gets opened at receiving, at customs and in the stockroom. Printed tape carries the message along every seam, so it cannot be missed the way a single label can.

The tape is an accessory to Cortec’s packaging line rather than a VCI product, so it carries no metals list or consultation-guide rating. It closes cartons and liners of VpCI-126 bagged parts, folds on EcoWeave covers and VpCI-146-lined boxes, and the outer carton of any export pack. Each roll is 2″ × 330′, the standard carton-sealer size, and runs in a hand dispenser or case sealer like any packing tape.

Typical applications

• Sealing cartons of VpCI-126 bagged parts
• Closing VpCI-126 gusseted liners and EcoWeave covers
• Export packaging and ocean-container shipments
• Spare-parts cartons and MRO stock
• Warehouse and receiving instructions: do not open until needed
• Returnable containers and racks of VCI-packed WIP

How to use VpCI Protected tape

1. Close the inner package first. Seal the VpCI-126 bag or fold the liner over the load, then close the carton or cover.
2. Tape every seam. Run the tape along the carton seams and over the folds of a liner or EcoWeave cover, pressing it onto clean, dry film or board; use it to hold a folded bag mouth flat against a pallet load.
3. Keep tape off the metal. Tape goes on packaging, not on the part; VpCI cannot protect metal under an adhesive.
4. Add a label and a date. Put a VpCI Protected label on at least two faces and write the pack date so the package is inspected or renewed within its protection period.
5. Store. Keep rolls in their original carton, indoors at ambient temperature.

Where it fits in the Cortec line

Use the tape with VpCI Protected labels; the two together mark a package unmistakably. It closes VpCI-126 gusseted liners, cartons of VpCI-126 bags, EcoWeave covers and VpCI-146-lined boxes. For sealing shrink-film seams on MilCorr, use 3M white shrink tape instead; this tape is for cartons and liners. See the VpCI product selection guide for the rest of the packaging line.
