Cellophane tape is not the same as OPP tape.
Cellophane tape
is made from a thin sheet of cellophane, which is a type of plastic. It is clear and has a slightly glossy finish. Cellophane tape is not very strong and is not water-resistant. It is often used for wrapping gifts, sealing envelopes, and making repairs.
OPP tape
on the other hand, is made from oriented polypropylene film. It is also clear and has a glossy finish, but it is much stronger and more water-resistant than cellophane tape. OPP tape is often used for packaging products, sealing boxes, and lamination.
Here is a table summarizing the key differences between cellophane tape and OPP tape:
Feature | Cellophane tape | OPP tape |
---|---|---|
Material | Cellophane | Oriented polypropylene film |
Strength | Weak | Strong |
Water resistance | Poor | Good |
Applications | Wrapping gifts, sealing envelopes, making repairs. Typically used for lighter applications. | Packaging products, sealing boxes, lamination. Can handle heavier tasks and is more resistant to factors like moisture and abrasion. |
