Reinforcing Tape Applicator | Fortis

The Smart Solution to Prevent Paper Tearing

In high-use environments, punched holes in thin paper often tear over time. Our new reinforcing tape applicator Fortis solves this problem by applying sellotape precisely along the edge of the sheet before it is hole-punched. The result? 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, a phenomenon known as the banana effect. Our machine solves this by gently laying the tape without stress on the paper surface — even on lightweight sheets — preventing edge curl and ensuring a flat, professional finish.
