A reinforcing tape is illustrated with a length of elongate, adhesive-coated reinforcing tape configured to reinforce a packaging substrate. The reinforcing tape may include a first major surface and a second major surface opposing the first major surface. The reinforcing tape may also include a plurality of RFID devices attached to the first major surface of the reinforcing tape in longitudinally spaced apart relation along the length of the reinforcing tape.

Radio frequency identification tag reinforcing tape and methods

Reinforced constructs (e.g., non-corrugated or corrugated paperboard container blanks) that include a reinforcing tape wherein the reinforcing tape comprises at least one RFID device attached thereto. A first method for making such constructs includes applying reinforcing tape with the attached RFID device to at least a portion of at least one first paper layer, and pairing a second paper layer with the first paper layer such that the reinforcing tape and the at least one RFID device are positioned between the first and second paper layers to form the construct. In another method for making such constructs, particularly container blanks, a paper board substrate is transported on a container blank production line and a hot melt adhesive-coated reinforcing tape is applied to the paper board substrate.

Substrates including tape and radio frequency identification devices, and methods and apparatus for making the same

A tape formed of a polymeric material and having a thickness and stiffness suitable as a cutting edge on a dispensing carton for convolutely wound foil, film or paper, the tape includes a coating of adhesive and is applied at a laminating station in the carton manufacturing process and is generally cut with the forming of the carton blanks, and the cut in the tape may be formed with a serrated edge.
