Is Your Packaging Tape Failing You?
Our packaging diagnostics program uncovers exactly why your packaging tape fails — from case sealer tape misapplication to tape machine misconfiguration — and gives you a measurable, data-driven path to fix it fast.
What is Packaging Diagnostics?
Find the Problem.
Fix the Line.
Packaging failures aren't random — they're symptoms of measurable problems. The Morrisette Packaging Packaging Diagnostics Program uses proven testing protocols and real-time automation monitoring to pinpoint exactly where your packaging tape, case sealers, and packaging automation systems are losing performance. We bring the lab to you.
Diagnose
Real-time in-line testing that identifies packaging tape adhesion failure, misapplication, and process inconsistencies without interrupting your production line.
Optimize
Data-driven insights that reveal how your packaging automation systems can run faster, seal better, and waste less tape with measurable ROI from day one.
Perform
Armed with diagnostic data, our specialists help you select the right packaging tape, configure case sealers, and keep your automation systems at peak performance.

Packaging Tape Expertise That Moves the Needle
Why Packaging Tape Failures Happen
Most packaging tape failures aren't a product problem, they're a process problem. Incorrect tape width, misaligned taping heads, worn case sealer components, environmental temperature swings, and incompatible adhesive chemistry all contribute to seal failures, open boxes, and costly rework on your packaging line.
Morrisette's packaging diagnostics team has evaluated thousands of packaging operations. The pattern is consistent: when packaging tape fails, there's almost always a measurable, fixable root cause. Our job is to find it.
What We Test: Packaging Tape, Tape Machine Settings & Adhesion
- Tape adhesion strength to corrugated substrates (AF2K methodology)
- In-line packaging tape application consistency via iTRACK SS monitoring
- Case sealer head pressure, alignment, and wear
- Tape compatibility with your specific corrugated substrate grades
- Environmental factors affecting tape adhesion (humidity, temperature)
- Packaging automation system throughput and waste metrics
- Under-filled and uneven package seal detection
Case Sealer Tape Selection: Why the Right Tape Changes Everything
Not all packaging tape is created equal, and the wrong tape on the right machine still fails. Morrisette Packaging's diagnostics process matches tape chemistry, width, and core specifications to your exact packaging automation system configuration. The result: consistent seals, less waste, and packaging automation systems that run at full rated efficiency.
Tape Machine & Packaging Automation Systems That Deliver
Modern packaging automation systems are engineered for precision, but they're only as effective as the components running through them. Case sealers, taping heads, and inline monitoring systems must work in sync with your packaging tape. Mismatches in tape width, adhesive chemistry, core size, or machine settings can quietly sabotage throughput and drive up waste.
Our diagnostics process evaluates your complete packaging automation system: machine settings, tape specifications, environmental factors, and application consistency — identifying every point of inefficiency and giving you a clear path to improvement. Explore our full packaging solutions to see how we help operations like yours run at peak efficiency.
