Picking the right adhesive & backing
Acrylic PP balances cost and clarity—great for room-temperature warehouses. Hot-melt PP grabs quickly on recycled cartons. Paper tapes suit eco policies and curbside recycling; reinforced paper adds tear resistance for heavy loads and export.
For noisy pack benches, choose low-noise variants. If you seal many cartons per shift, deploy dispensers or automate with machine tape.
Sealing best practice
Use H-taping across the centre seam and two edge seams for stronger closures. Wipe dust or powder from recycled cartons before sealing. Combine with right-size boxes and internal cushioning to reduce tape load and damages.
Complete your packing bench
Standardise a family of box sizes, add paper padding or bubble wrap, and label with address/thermal labels for a faster, neater workflow.
Packing Tape – Frequently Asked Questions
Paper tape supports plastic reduction and can be recycled with boxes. Polypropylene offers strong adhesion at a lower cost and excels in high-speed sealing.
For heavy cartons, export, or where tamper-evidence is critical. See reinforced paper tape for higher tear resistance and fibre-reinforced strength.
Specialist tapes (e.g., freezer-grade or hot-melt adhesives) perform better on cold or slightly dusty cartons. Clean surfaces where possible before sealing.
If you’re sealing high volumes of uniform cases, machine tape with case sealers reduces waste and speeds throughput. For flexible lines, use quality hand dispensers.
Choose low-noise PP tapes and ergonomic dispensers. Paper tapes also run quieter and improve operator comfort.
Yes—see standard print tapes for off-the-shelf messages or enquire about custom printed runs to add logos and instructions.
