They are widely available in multiple designs, colors, and logos. They are tamper proof and resistant to varying degrees of heat as compared to conventional tapes. At present, there is a rise in the use of paper tapes in the pharmaceutical industry on account of several benefits, such as swifter recovery, gentle removal, long lasting bond, and preserving skin integrity.

Paper Tapes Market Trends:

Paper tapes are employed in the automotive industry to hold and seal the edges of door panels and trunk lids and cover and protect areas that should not be painted or coated.
