Tear Strip Borders That Do More Than Aesthetics
Most tear strip borders are just visual frames that separate one side from another. A custom tear strip border does more than a normal perforation, and it also opens the box. This strip is built right into the box itself instead of as an extra piece. Because of the design, the box opens in the exact right spot every time. The user does not need to look for scissors or guess where the box opens.
How the Perforation Is Made
The hardest part is to make these cuts in the right way on tear-strip packaging. If the cuts are too shallow, a person must pull very hard, and the box might tear in the wrong place. If the cuts are too deep, the easy-tear packaging might break open on its way to the customer. We can change the depth of the cuts based on cardboard thickness.
Placement Options of Perforated Strips
- Edge-run borders
- Full-panel borders
- Flap-integrated borders
Perforation Compatibility On The Box Types
- Corrugated board with single-wall and double-wall flutes works well with tear strips. Thicker cardboard needs a deeper perforation tear strip so it can tear easily without extra effort.
- Chipboard and folding cartons perforate more predictably because the material is smooth and thin. This makes it a popular choice for retail-facing boxes, where a clean line looks appealing for customers.
- Rigid setup boxes rarely have tear strips on the outside because the paper wrapped around them does not tear neatly. When these hard boxes need a tear strip, we can place the strip on an inside layer instead of the outer box.
Printing On Tear Strip Borders
When you place custom-printed tear strip borders, you need to align the design around the cut line. If a logo or slogan remains directly on top of the cut, it can rip unevenly or end up on the wrong side of the paper when someone opens the box. You avoid this problem when you place important instructions and logos completely inside or completely outside the tear line.
An arrow, a “tear here” label, or a colored tab shows the buyer where to open the box right away so they do not have to search for the start.
