The Problem
The customer, a high-end appliance manufacturer, was decorating their products with heavy-gauge, stamped steel bands that were mechanically fastened to the customer’s various products.

Our Process
Tapecon’s research & development team suggested a number of pressure-sensitive adhesive constructions and embellishing options to replace the mechanical fasteners. The customer took a thorough look at the presented options and after a marketing review and manufacturer testing one of the proposed solutions was selected.
