Tea Bag Tags

If your tea bag tags are breaking, misfeeding, or causing downtime on machines like IMA or MAISA, the issue is usually material strength and coating compatibility — not just paper quality.

XLD provides tested tag materials that run smoothly on high-speed lines, with consistent feeding and clean tear performance.

Why Tea Bag Tags Fail on High-Speed Machines ? (And How to Fix It)

Most tag issues are not caused by printing or design — they come from material mismatch.

Common problems include:

Tags breaking during heat sealing
Inconsistent feeding on automatic machines
Poor tear performance affecting user experience

XLD’s tag materials are engineered to solve these issues with:

Controlled fiber strength for high-speed handling
Optimized coating for heat or mechanical sealing
Consistent thickness for stable feeding
Self-applying adhesive is optional, avoiding the need for machine-applied adhesive to adhere filter paper.

Tested on IMA, MAISA, TEEPACK and other major tea bagging machines.

How to Choose the Right Tea Bag Tag for Your Machine ?

To avoid production issues, your tag specification must match your machine setup.

Focus on these 4 key factors:

• Machine Type
IMA, MAISA, TEEPACK or other systems require different sealing compatibility

• Sealing Method
Ultrasonic vs mechanical vs heat sealing affects material selection

• Tag Size & Format
Incorrect dimensions lead to feeding errors

• Material Type
Paper, laminated, or synthetic — depending on durability and sustainability needs
