The Wonderful World of Shipping Tape
The world of shipping tape can be a bit confusing. To help you choose the right tape to seal your box or package, here’s a quick guide to some of the varieties that are available from your packaging supply company.
Carton Sealing Tape is one the strongest and most aggressive types of tapes; it quickly grips to a box and minimizes the need for rubbing down. It tolerates hot and damp conditions well.
Water Activated Tape is designed for fast and permanent adhesion and highlights any evidence of tampering.
Label Protection Tape is clear and wide, specially designed to securely attach and protect shipping labels from the elements.
Stretchable Tape is ideal for bundling up and securing large loads and pallets without distorting the shape of the boxes.
Filament Tape is a super-strong shipping tape that will rise to almost any sealing or reinforcing challenge; it’s perfect for closing odd-shaped materials or packages or for binding pallets.
Masking Tape has a variety of applications and is useful for everything from sealing boxes to hiding electrical cables.
Flatback Tape is a high-visibility and strong masking tape that can be used to mask or mark surfaces.
