Rigid Box Stay Tape

High-Strength Tape for Premium Packaging

At LD Davis, we provide high-performance stay tape engineered for today’s packaging operations. Developed in collaboration with rigid box equipment manufacturers and operators, our stay tape delivers reliable adhesion, consistent coverage, and superior durability.

What Is Stay Tape?

Stay tape is a heat-activated, glue-backed tape used to reinforce the corners of rigid or set-up boxes during manufacturing. Once chipboard is fed into the forming machine, a plunger shapes the box, and the tape is applied to each corner using heat and pressure, securing structural integrity before wrapping.

Our stay tape is PFAS-compliant, ensuring safety and environmental responsibility. We also offer various sizes and colors to fit your production needs.
