Why are PPM’s masking tapes perfect for the automotive aftermarket?

Did you know that masking tapes were originally designed to be used in automotive refinishing in the 1920s? They were ideal for temporary projects, such as labeling, bundling, masking, and temporary holding.

They were much appreciated because they did not spoil freshly applied paint, and so it is today! We still use automotive masking tapes in body shops but also for other endless applications.

In fact, each one of the PPM’s solutions you’ve seen thus far is a successful ally for the automotive aftermarket and other body shop-related operations. Why? Because they are constantly manufactured to be suited for the spray-painting, regular painting, and repair of cars and vehicles.

When it comes to auto body shop jobs, what’s really important is to cover and protect every surface. This means that the automotive tape must guarantee:

• thickness and width according to its use
• excellent adhesion and holding power
• optimal tensile strength

In PPM’s products, you will certainly find all these features.

PPM’s customization of automotive tapes

Finally, you should know that PPM not only manufactures tapes for the automotive aftermarket, but we also provide a full service that includes the possibility to create tailor-made tapes!

According to your needs, in fact, our private label service allows you to customize the tape you are looking for in terms of:

• the tape core, where you can apply the logo of your business so that it’s always visible. Cores can be neutral or have a simple logo (with a maximum of two colors) or multiple logos and colors.

• the shrink packaging, a protective layer for automotive tapes, which can come in the shape of tower packs, sealing bags, roll wraps, and flats. Once you’ve chosen the right packaging, you can also design the label to apply to it.

• branded single roll packaging, available in a wide assortment: we’re talking about boxes, cuffs, and roll wraps that will make your automotive tapes even more unique and aesthetically pleasing.

• the shipping box, so that when the tapes arrive at their destination, your customers will immediately recognize them. Defining a shipping box boosts the image of your company and it’s a means of visually showcasing your values. Even in this case, you can design the label to apply to it

• finally, the display where to place your tapes in each and every selling point of your company. They can be countertops or floors and are made with corrugated cardboard. Again, choosing the display means drawing attention to your products and making them stand out from the competition.
