BOPP packing tape (plasters)made in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Every corrugated carton needs a secure closure that withstands long transit, warehouse stacking and rough road transport across Ethiopia. Known locally as BOPP plasters (ቦፕ ፕላስተር), Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene packing tape is the industrial standard for sealing corrugated shipping boxes, export cartons and bundles. Eastern Dragon supplies high-tack BOPP carton sealing tape in Addis Ababa in transparent clear, brown kraft and custom-printed varieties.

The tape is manufactured on a durable BOPP film backing coated with premium pressure-sensitive water-based acrylic adhesive. It bonds instantly to virgin kraft and recycled testliner board, providing strong shear strength and high tensile resistance that prevents tape snapping during application. Once pressed onto the box flaps, the high-tack adhesive bonds deep into the carton paper fibres, creating a tamper-evident seal that reveals any attempt at pilferage during transit.

For standard operations, clear tape keeps printed carton artwork visible, while brown tape matches natural kraft cartons for a clean, uniform look. Custom-printed BOPP tape turns every carton seam into a branded security seal, displaying your company name, logo, contact information and handling notices such as Caution or Fragile. Tape is supplied in 48 mm, 60 mm and 72 mm widths on standard 76 mm cardboard cores, available in 50 m to 100 m lengths for hand dispensers or 500 m to 1,000 m machine rolls for automatic case tapers.
