In the age of smart manufacturing, digital tape is emerging as an innovative adhesive product that combines traditional bonding with digital information encoding. Used widely in logistics, anti-counterfeiting, and asset tracking, digital tape is helping businesses streamline operations and enhance traceability. But how is it made? Let’s take a closer look.
🔍 What Is Digital Tape?
Digital tape is a functional adhesive tape embedded with data carriers such as RFID chips, QR codes, or barcodes. It not only bonds materials but also enables digital tracking, identification, and anti-counterfeiting—making it an ideal solution for Industry 4.0 applications.
🏭 Key Production Steps
1. Tape Substrate Preparation
PET, OPP, or paper is selected as the base material based on strength, color, and environmental requirements.
2. Embedding Identification Components
RFID, NFC, or visual codes are added using chip embedding or precision printing techniques.
3. Digital Printing
Variable codes and graphics are printed using inkjet or thermal transfer methods with high durability.
4. Adhesive Coating
High-performance adhesives (PSA, acrylic, hot-melt) are coated depending on application needs.
5. Slitting & Rewinding
Rolls are converted to custom sizes while ensuring alignment of printed information.
6. Inspection & Code Verification
Advanced scanners ensure that each tape unit meets strict standards for readability, adhesion, and thickness.
