Description

The bio-based packaging tape tesa® 60408 combines sustainability with professional packing performance.

Thanks to its silicone-free release liner, the tape has been externally tested and found to be highly printable with all types of ink systems—ideal for logos, labels, or branding. The tape unrolls quietly, tears off easily by hand, and is suitable for both manual and automated applications.
