Packing Tape FAQs
What’s the difference between acrylic and hot-melt tape?
Acrylic tape performs better in cold environments and for long-term storage, while hot-melt tape offers stronger initial tack and better adhesion for everyday shipping.
Why won’t tape stick to my boxes?
Tape may fail to bond due to dust, dirt, moisture, low-quality adhesive, or extreme temperatures during application.
How many strips of tape do I need?
Use one strip for light-duty boxes and three strips (an H-seal) for heavier cartons to ensure secure closure.
Is there a difference between clear and tan tape?
The difference is only color—strength and performance depend on adhesive type and thickness, not appearance.
What tape width is best?
Use 2-inch tape for most standard boxes; choose 3-inch tape for large, overfilled, or heavy cartons.
