Myth: Pressure-sensitive tape needs heat, water, or a chemical reaction to create a strong bond.

Fact: Pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) bond simply by applying pressure.

Unlike glues that require curing or activation, pressure-sensitive adhesives form an immediate bond when enough pressure is applied to create full contact with the surface. The more complete the surface contact, the better the adhesive can perform.

However, not all pressure-sensitive adhesives are created equal. The right adhesive depends on factors like:
- Surface energy and material type
- Temperature and environmental conditions
- Required holding strength
- Exposure to moisture, chemicals, or UV light
- Whether the bond is permanent or removable

Choosing the right tape is just as important as choosing the right converting method.
At Elite, we help customers select the best adhesive for their application, while Elite Converting customizes that material into the exact roll, width, or die-cut part needed for efficient production.

The result? A solution that's engineered to perform—from the adhesive itself to the finished product.

Capability Spotlight: Custom Die Cutting

When precision matters, every cut counts.

Off-the-shelf materials don't always fit the application. That's why Elite offers custom die cutting to transform tapes, films, foams, and other flexible materials into ready-to-use parts that fit your exact specifications.

Instead of cutting materials during assembly, receive components that are ready to apply—saving time, reducing waste, and improving consistency.

Why choose custom die cutting?
✔ Create precise shapes and complex geometries
✔ Reduce assembly time and labor costs
✔ Improve consistency from part to part
✔ Minimize material waste
✔ Deliver application-ready components for manual or automated assembly

From adhesive-backed gaskets and mounting components to protective films and specialty parts, our die-cut solutions are designed to streamline production while delivering the quality your application demands.

The right part doesn't just fit—it improves your entire process.

Tape Tip Tuesday: Match the Tape to the Surface

Not every tape is designed for every material.

Low surface energy plastics like polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) can be difficult to bond, while metals, glass, and painted surfaces often require different adhesive properties for optimal performance.

Choosing the right adhesive for your application helps:
- Improve long-term bond strength
- Reduce failures and rework
- Increase product reliability
- Perform better in demanding environments

Pro Tip: If you're unsure which tape is best for your application, test it under real-world conditions—or work with a converting partner who can recommend the right solution.

The right tape doesn't just stick—it performs.
