Shurtape Launches New Website, TapeUniversity.com
Site delivers helpful tips and suggestions for choosing and using tape
HICKORY, N.C. — Shurtape Technologies LLC, a leading producer of pressure-sensitive tapes, is making it easier to access helpful information about choosing and using pressure-sensitive tapes with the launch of its new website, TapeUniversity.com.
The site is currently focused on the HVAC and packaging industries, but additional industries will be added over the next few months. Visitors will find blog posts, videos, and articles by Shurtape’s product management team, covering topics such as the differences between HVAC tape backings and adhesives, why some packaging tapes won’t stick to recycled cartons, and more.
The site also serves as the online home of Shurtape’s Mission: HVAC and Mission: Packaging programs. Through these programs, the company is challenging six students (three HVAC, three packaging) to complete a series of themed missions related to their areas of study. Upon completion of each challenge, the students report their findings via blog posts on the site to earn up to $5,000 each to help prepare them for their future careers.
“In 2015, we took a stand to support education with the introduction of our Mission: HVAC program, through which we followed three HVAC students as they completed a year of trade school. During our conversations with students and educators about this program, and more recently about the Mission: Packaging program, it became clear that easy-to-access, reliable information about tape was lacking,” said Laura Pierce, senior media manager. “So, we decided to hit the issue head-on and created TapeUniversity.com to serve as an educational resource to answer the commonly asked questions about tape — as well as invite visitors to ask their own.” Visit TapeUniversity.com for more information.
