Finger lift custom adhesive tape

      What is a finger lift adhesive?

A finger lift adhesive, also called an adhesive with extended liner, is a solution where the liner is wider than the adhesive tape itself. This technical configuration is designed to simplify the application process by making liner removal easier and cleaner.

Finger lift designs can take various forms depending on the application:

• Overhanging flap for rolls or long-length tapes

• Prehension tab or gripping tab for custom die-cut adhesive pieces

This liner extension allows users to remove the liner without touching the adhesive zone, which is ideal for applications requiring clean handling, precise positioning, and fast application.

Thanks to our expertise in precise adhesive slitting and liner assembly, ADEZIF develops custom finger lift solutions tailored to your industrial needs.

      Benefits of finger lift adhesives

Enhance your production workflow with adhesives featuring extended liners, designed for speed and reliability:

📌 Faster application

→ Liner removal is effortless—even when wearing gloves.

📌 Improved precision

→ The prehension tab helps reduce misalignment and repositioning errors.

📌 Less waste

→ Avoids unwanted contact with the adhesive zone, minimizing rejects.

📌 More ergonomic

→ Simplified handling reduces strain and operator fatigue.

      Where to use finger lift adhesive tapes?

Finger lift liners are ideal in industrial environments where handling, accuracy, or multi-step application is critical. They meet specific needs across multiple industries and use cases:

Ils répondent à des besoins concrets dans de nombreux secteurs et applications techniques, par exemple :

🚗 Automotive & transportation
→ Fast bonding of foams, noise dampening pads, covers, and temporary fixings on assembly lines.

💻 Electronics
→ Clean handling of miniaturized or delicate components without direct contact with the adhesive.

🖼️ Signage & point-of-sale displays
→ Clean, bubble-free application of labels, visual elements, and adhesive prints with accurate positioning.

🩺 Medical, hygiene & PPE environments
→ For adhesive parts requiring non-contact liner removal, ensuring hygiene and safety during application.

📦 Technical packaging
→ Application of adhesive tapes with integrated finger lift for secure closure or controlled reopening of cartons, boxes, or technical enclosures.

✉️ Envelope manufacturing & stationery
→ Commonly used for self-adhesive closures on envelopes, return mailers, and easy-open packaging systems, improving user experience.

      Choosing the right finger lift design for your application

At ADEZIF, we design custom finger lift adhesives that are tailored to your application method, operating conditions, and production process.

The liner shape, width, material, and slitting technique are selected based on the following technical factors:

Notre savoir-faire repose sur des procédés industriels maîtrisés :

ADEZIF uses precise industrial processes to produce finger lift liners perfectly adapted to your adhesive format and application needs:

✅ Adhesive slitting for controlled liner overhang

→ The adhesive is slit precisely without cutting the liner, creating a consistent liner overhang to form a prehension tab on one or both sides.

✅ Applied liner wider than the adhesive (liner lamination)

→ A wider liner is applied separately to the adhesive strip, creating a dual finger lift or asymmetrical tab—ideal for manual applications and non-standard formats.

✅ Die-cutting with integrated gripping tab

→ Using rotary, semi-rotary or flatbed cutting, we produce custom adhesive parts with partial or full liner cuts, allowing for an easy peel zone.

✅ Zone-specific liner detachment for sequential application

→ Liners can be partially removable, enabling step-by-step bonding or precise pre-positioning, especially useful for multi-surface or complex assemblies.
