No we print Pharmaceutical labels & inserts for bottles & syringes ect... For companies like Genentech, Gilead, Pfizer.

Yes....I know where you come from. About 40% of my clients are medical device and pharma. Some automotive, some aerospace...a lot of membrane switch and sensor circuit.
Adhesive and substrate technology is chemistry and science. Ray |

So, yesterday morning I sat next to two retired 3M employees, one of which spent most of four decades working with adhesive tape production. So I posed this question to him.
His answer? The roll was wrapped too tight. Between that and what has been mentioned here (adhesive lubricity and temperature during storage) the rolls will "telescope". That was his term for a distended roll.
Not sure a more definitive answer could be had. Adhesive tape was this guy's lifelong career, he likely knows what he's talking about. |

You are going to take the word of some old codger over a YouTube?
No wonder the world is in trouble. |
