A method of making a metallic foil tape, the method comprising:
- obtaining a flat metallic aluminum foil tape having a top surface and a bottom surface,
- obtaining a release liner having a pressure sensitive adhesive applied directly thereon,
- applying the release liner to the flat metallic aluminum foil tape wherein the pressure sensitive adhesive is between the flat metallic aluminum foil tape and the release liner,
- feeding the flat metallic aluminum foil tape with the release liner to a corrugator, and
- corrugating the flat metallic aluminum foil tape with the release liner to form corrugations in the flat metallic aluminum foil tape and the release liner.
A method of making a metallic foil tape having a top surface and a bottom surface, the method comprising:
- obtaining a flat metallic foil tape,
- obtaining a release liner having a pressure sensitive adhesive applied directly thereon,
