The intermediate layer ( 11 ) has a plurality of first linear members ( 12 ) arranged side by side at an angle with respect to a longitudinal direction (D 1 ) of the binding tape ( 10 ).

Claims (9)

1. A binding tape to be wound around a to-be-bound object and configured to bind the to-be-bound object by stitching overlapped portions of the binding tape by a staple, the binding tape comprising:

an intermediate layer having a plurality of first linear members and a plurality of second linear members intersecting with the plurality of first linear members, wherein one end portion of the intermediate layer in a width direction is formed with a plurality of first cuts spaced in a longitudinal direction of the binding tape, the other end portion of the intermediate layer in the width direction is formed with a plurality of second cuts spaced in the longitudinal direction of the binding tape, and wherein at least one of the first cuts cuts 60% or more of a width of one of the second linear members which is arranged at an outermost side close to the one end portion of the intermediate layer in the width direction;

a first surface layer covering one surface of the intermediate layer and formed of a resin material; and

a second surface layer covering the other surface of the intermediate layer and formed of a resin material,

wherein an interval of adjacent two of the first linear members is equal to or smaller than 5 mm.

2. The binding tape according to claim 1 , wherein the interval of the adjacent two of the first linear members is equal to or smaller than 3 mm.

3. The binding tape according to claim 1 , wherein the first linear members are arranged orthogonal to a longitudinal direction of the binding tape.

4. The binding tape according to claim 1 , wherein the second linear members extend in a longitudinal direction of the binding tape.

5. The binding tape according to claim 1 , wherein a length of at least one of the first cuts in the width direction with respect to a width of the binding tape is 15% or less.
