Packing tape

For common sealing jobs, look at 2-inch (48mm) wide tapes with lengths of 50–100 meters. These are typically made from BOPP film with acrylic or hot-melt adhesives for strong bonding. Clear designs provide a professional look, and the tapes work well on cardboard, plastic, and metal surfaces. This range includes multiple roll options, including 48mm x 100m and jumbo rolls for higher-volume use, giving you flexibility for shipping, moving, or storage tasks.

Clear packing tape is versatile and blends with most packaging, while specialty options like fragile-labelled tape help communicate handling needs. The fragile variant displays a clear ‘Fragile’ message for handlers, which is useful during shipping. You’ll also find fun colours, yellow protective films, and multi-pack configurations that suit different packing scenarios.

Strength comes from a sturdy BOPP film with a strong acrylic adhesive and an appropriate thickness. A high tensile strength reduces tearing, and weather resistance protects seals in varying climates. Look for tapes described as tear-resistant, weather-resistant, and with 43 micron thickness for robust performance on cartons and parcels.

Yes, jumbo rolls exist for high-volume packaging. These are large-format, self-adhesive BOPP tapes in clear, brown, or milky white finishes, designed to feed automated packaging lines or provide longer runs between changes. They offer strong adhesion and durable sealing suitable for commercial packaging and pallet sealing.

For fragile shipments, consider white-red fragile packing tape to clearly mark delicate loads. Clear tapes with strong adhesion are ideal for large boxes during moves or storage. The combination of a clear main tape plus a special fragile variant helps ensure handling visibility and secure seals for fragile contents.

Unwind tape smoothly and apply with steady, even pressure to avoid air bubbles. Use a compatible dispenser for faster sealing and neater edges, and press firmly along the entire length of the seam. For long boxes, start at one end and roll to the other to maintain a continuous, tight seal that resists opening during transport.
