The UK supplier of snacking, breakfast, baking and cooking products, Whitworths, is specifying tesa Lift & Reseal tape as part of its drive to provide healthy, nutritious and long-lasting products to the nation’s consumers. Packaging represents an essential element in the preservation of food from the beginning of every distribution, through to the delivery, purchase, subsequent storage and final usage. tesa offers a range of tapes that provide a safe, clean and easy solution in this application field, designed to deliver the best cost-performance ratio. The range also includes tesa Lift & Reseal, a residue-free finger lift resealing tape offering a clean, easy to use solution for securely reclosing food packs. The tape’s robust adhesive allows for a secure reclosure system. Using an adhesive which will not leave messy residues, the packs can be opened and reclosed at least 20 times.
