Packaging Tape
- Our packing tape is available in light duty 1.7 mil to heavy duty 3 mil.
- This packing tape has a smooth, consistent release coat for your carton sealing tape needs.
- All rolls have 3" diameter cores which fit standard tape gun dispensers.
For carton sealing, the details that matter are measurable and filterable. The filters on the left allow you to narrow options by tape width (commonly 2" or 3"), roll length (55 or 110 yards), film thickness (approximately 1.7–3.0 mil), pack size (6, 24, or 36 rolls per case), and color (clear or tan). Filtering by these attributes helps match dispenser fit, seal strength, and carton weight requirements.
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.
