Adhesive tape applicator Fortis

Overview
In high-use environments, punched holes in thin paper often tear over time. The reinforcing tape applicator Fortis applies reinforcement tape precisely along the sheet edge before hole-punching to provide stronger, longer-lasting paper that can be inserted or removed from lever arch files, ring binders, or exercise books without damage.

Why Use Edge Reinforcement Tape?

• Prevents edge curling or tearing in sheets from 70 to 100 g/m²
• Keeps documents intact after repeated binder use
• Ideal for educational, legal, medical, and office documents
• Compatible with A4, A3, and custom sheet formats
• Cost-effective alternative to pre-reinforced paper

Avoid the Banana Effect (Paper Curling)
Applying adhesive tape under tension often causes the sheet to curl along one edge (the banana effect). Fortis prevents this by gently laying the tape without stress on the paper surface — even on lightweight sheets — ensuring a flat, professional finish.

Perfect for These Applications

• Office document reinforcement
• School and educational materials
• Medical and legal files
• Custom stationery and printed sets
• Print shops and finishing houses
