WELCOME...

Self Adhesive Supplies was established in

1972 and was appointed a 3M Authorised

Distributor for tapes and adhesives in 1976.

Our reputation for quality and lexibility soon stuck and following continuous growth, we

were acquired by Amari Plastics PLC in 2008.

In 2011, we relocated to new 7,000 square

foot premises: to supply quality products on

time, with conidence.Self Adhesive Supplies has been accredied

ISO 9001:2008 for quality Management since

1994, a testament to our high standards and

our on going commitment to providing the

best in service.

Through investment in a state-of-the-art lathe

slitting facility, Self Adhesive

Supplies can slit tapes to as

narrow as two millimetres.

What’s more, we hold our stock in log rolls

so we can carry a wider range of products

rather than boxes of inished, standard width rolls.

Self Adhesive Supplies has a precision die-

cutting service available for customers who

wish to have single sided and double sided

tape cut to a speciic shape. In turn, you’ll save time and money and reduce production

waste, too.

Self Adhesive Supplies are also a distributor

of ‘Polylite’ polycarbonate sheets see page 18.

These sheets are available with matt, velvet

and gloss inishes, in 125, 175, 250, 375, 500 micron thicknesses.

• Fitting service panels • Hanging signs & displaysBonds superbly to metals, glass and plastics. Does away with unsightly fasteners such as rivets, screws or glue overspills and enriches the aesthetics. It’s also the answer for extreme climates.

Material Guide for using with VHBTM

The “Essential Surface Preparation Guide” for applying VHBTM tapes & Foam tapes.

• Ensure surface is clean and dry all over.

• Best prepared by wiping (one direction only) with 3M VHBTM cleaner in conjunction with 3M Surface wipes.

• If heavy oils or greases are present, eliminate these by degreasing with 3M Citrus Cleaner. Follow up with 3M VHBTM cleaner.

• Use 3M 7447 Scotch-BriteTM hand pads for abrading / scufing harder materials to increase the surface area for bonding. Follow up with 3M VHBTM cleaner afterwards and allow to lash dry prior to applying the tape.• For dificult plastics / painted items - especially low surface energy, use 3M 94 Primer. Wipe & allow to lash dry.

TAPE ENGINEERING

Tape Printing



Besides the many jobs we’ve undertaken in printing promotional logos or strap-lines on packing tapes, we continue to receive enquiries from small to blue-chip organisations. For advertising, conveying messages or even for security purposes such as anti-pilfering, we come up with the right solution.

We are experienced in printing vinyls, polypropylenes (standard or low-noise) and ilament tapes as well. So take advantage of our free design service where we’ll arrange for the creation of imaginative designs – just for you!

We produce:-

3-colour printing (includes backgrounds) for hand or machine sized rolls on -

Vinyl (PVC) - unwinds smoothly. They’re hand tearable, conformable and adhere irmly. Use for small graphics (preserve details) and also for a wider choice of colours.

Polypropylene - suited for simpler print needs. They perform better in colder environments but need mechanical aids to dispense, burnish and ease cutting. Great savings can be had for printing large quantities especially on 990m or super-length 1500m rolls.

Low-Noise Polypropylene - an environmental alternative to vinyl - easy for us to print and silent for you to apply.

Filament tapes - ideal for larger & heavier packages. Recommended for printing with single-colour bold texts to really stand out.

Call or email us for your quote. Discounts on origination costs available dependent on quantity.

We have many years of experience in recommending tape die-cuts where speciic shapes are needed for joining or protecting parts. Ease your process by applying bespoke tapes to lat or awkward shapes and not wasting time and adding to costs by trimming or cutting.

If you need speciic tape widths, then our in-house slitting service helps here too. We convert single or double-sided tapes - paper, ilmic and foam based products to match the widths and quantities you need.

So if you’re after intricate shapes with plain or split-back support liners that ease removal, or just standard rolls in sizes to it the job, then call us today. Speedy turn around once approved.
