End-to-end premium adhesive tape manufacturing in Britain
At Advance Tapes, all adhesives are formulated or specified in-house, giving us complete control over product design, performance, and consistency. This enables us to supply high-quality, ready-made premium adhesive tapes, as well as log format for customers who convert in-house.
By controlling adhesive development from the outset, we can tailor key properties such as adhesion level, coat weight, unwind, and clean removal — ensuring dependable performance whether the tape is supplied as a finished roll or converted downstream.
Our expertise allows us to continually adapt and develop adhesives in response to changing customer requirements, new applications, and evolving environmental legislation.

Cloth Coating
Proven performance backed by decades of experience
Advance Tapes has been coating cloth-backed adhesive tapes for over 60 years. In 2013, we made a significant step change in capability with a £4 million investment in a state-of-the-art, fully automated adhesive mixing and cloth coating line.
This modern facility enables us to deliver consistent, premium-quality cloth tapes for direct use, while also producing highly consistent coated logs for customers who require reliability in their own converting processes.
Key benefits include:
-
Consistent adhesive coating and controlled performance
-
Increased capacity and security of supply
-
Improved quality control and repeatability
-
Greater flexibility for product development and bespoke solutions

Filmic Coating
Precision coating on PVC, polythene and other filmic carriers
We have extensive experience coating onto filmic carriers such as PVC and polythene, supplying both finished tapes and log formats to meet customer needs.
Years of process refinement allow us to achieve precise adhesive laydown and consistent performance, supporting applications where unwind, adhesion, durability, and finish are critical — whether the tape is applied directly by the end user or further converted.

Converting
Finished tapes and log formats
Alongside our coating capability, Advance Tapes has made significant investment in expanding our own converting operations. Our facilities are equipped with automated slit and rewind machinery and additional lathes, allowing us to supply tapes in log and fully converted roll formats.
We can produce a wide range of widths, lengths, and pack formats, supporting customers who want a ready-to-use premium tape, as well as those who prefer to convert or brand products themselves.
To better serve our European customers, converting facilities have also been established at our French operation, providing improved service, capacity, and responsiveness.
Where requirements fall outside our in-house capabilities, we work in partnership with specialist converters to ensure every customer receives the most suitable solution.
