White PET Leader Tape Width and Perforation Options

For precision-punched white PET leader tape, the relationship between tape width, aperture size, hole pitch and edge distance determines whether the material can work with your existing feeding mechanism. Width alone is not sufficient to confirm equipment compatibility.

ConfigurationAvailable SpecificationSelection Guidance
35 mm White PET Leader Tape35 mm width; 1.42 mm published apertureSuitable for equipment requiring a 35 mm leader tape format. Confirm aperture shape, pitch and hole position against the existing tape.
48 mm White PET Leader Tape48 mm width; standard or custom perforationSelect according to the equipment's tape path and feeding mechanism. Aperture position and width tolerance should match your drawing.
70 mm White PET Leader Tape70 mm width; standard or custom perforationConfirm the required tape width, hole arrangement, reel dimensions and transport conditions.
35SW / 48SW ConfigurationsAlternative perforation configurations within the corresponding width familiesProvide the exact hole pattern or reference drawing. The SW designation should not be used alone to determine aperture dimensions.
Alternative Aperture1.98 mm aperture optionConfirm hole shape and dimensions before replacing an existing leader tape.
Custom PerforationCustom hole size, shape, pitch and positionRecommended for proprietary feeding mechanisms or replacement products requiring a specific hole pattern.

Aperture Definition: A 1.42 mm or 1.98 mm specification does not automatically indicate a circular hole diameter. Square apertures may be specified by their side dimensions. Please confirm the aperture geometry and center-to-center pitch using your existing drawing or sample.

Custom Manufacturing Note: Thicknesses from 0.075 mm to 0.188 mm are available as project-specific PET configurations. Other widths, aperture dimensions and hole pitches are defined by the customer's technical drawing rather than a universal numerical range. Custom material properties, tolerances and surface treatments should be specified together because changes to one parameter may affect the final product configuration.

White PET Material and Surface Configuration Options

The standard white PET leader tape and specially treated PET configurations may have different mechanical, electrical or surface characteristics. Select the appropriate configuration according to the actual requirements of your packaging line.

ConfigurationAvailable OptionsWhen to Specify
White PET Base FilmDuPont PET film; different PET thickness and grade optionsWhen your packaging equipment requires a white PET leader tape with specified dimensions and mechanical characteristics.
Antistatic White PETAntistatic-treated PET; customer-defined electrical resistanceWhen your process requires a particular electrical resistance or static-control property. Specify the required measurement method.
Adhesive-backed PET ConfigurationSpecial adhesive structure according to the intended applicationWhen a defined bonding or splicing operation requires an adhesive layer. Specify the adhesive structure and required bonding properties.
Reinforced PET ConfigurationAlternative PET grades, thicknesses or reinforced structuresWhen increased mechanical performance is required under specified operating conditions. Provide the relevant strength or dimensional requirements.

Electrical resistance, tensile strength, elongation, adhesion strength and thermal performance are material- and configuration-dependent. These values are not identical across all white PET leader tape options and should be confirmed for the selected specification.

Yes. Tongxi supports custom white PET leader tape manufacturing according to customer drawings or existing samples. You can specify the tape width, PET thickness, aperture dimensions, hole pitch, hole position, roll length and other critical requirements. Providing the original sample or drawing helps define the replacement configuration.

What thickness should we select for White PET Leader Tape?

A 0.125 mm PET film is a common option for white PET leader tape. Tongxi also supports 0.075 mm and 0.188 mm configurations, with custom thicknesses within the 0.075–0.188 mm range. Select the thickness according to your existing specification, feeding mechanism, web tension and operating conditions. The original Tongxi white PET product page does not specify a universal standard thickness.

Can we order White PET Leader Tape with 1.98 mm apertures?

Yes. Tongxi offers 1.98 mm aperture configurations in addition to the published 1.42 mm specification. Custom aperture dimensions and hole patterns are also available. Please provide the required hole geometry, pitch and position to ensure compatibility with your equipment.

Are 35 mm, 35SW, 48 mm and 48SW the same specifications?

No. The nominal tape width and perforation configuration must be considered separately. A model designation such as 35SW or 48SW should be checked against its actual aperture pattern and dimensions. We recommend providing the original product drawing or sample rather than ordering based on the model name alone.

Can we specify antistatic properties for White PET Leader Tape?

Yes. Antistatic-treated white PET configurations are available as custom options. If your packaging process requires a specific resistance level, provide the target value, measurement method and applicable requirements. Electrical performance should be confirmed for the selected PET grade and surface treatment, rather than assumed for all white PET models.

Can we request trial rolls before placing a bulk order?

Tongxi offers sample support for standard leader tape models. White PET Leader Tape is available in roll lengths within the published 2–300 m range. For custom trial requirements, specify the tape dimensions, perforation configuration and requested sample length. Sample availability, production MOQ and delivery arrangements depend on the selected configuration.

What information is required for a White PET Leader Tape quotation?

Please provide the tape width, PET thickness, aperture size and shape, hole pitch, hole position, roll length and estimated order quantity. If the product must match existing equipment, include your equipment model, technical drawing or original tape sample.
