Packaging Tape

A simple, strong seal for cartons

Packaging tape—also known as parcel tape or box sealing tape—is the reliable lock for your box seams. It brings the flaps together tightly, adding a layer of protection against moisture, dust and impacts during handling and transport.

PP tape – an all‑round choice for daily packing

Polypropylene (PP) packaging tape is a cost‑effective option for e‑commerce packing benches, offices and general warehouse use. It delivers good tensile strength for light to medium loads and supports consistent sealing on standard corrugated cartons. Choose the width and thickness according to the box weight and journey length.

PVC tape – firm hold and low‑noise unwinding

PVC packaging tape provides a stronger, more compliant seal and typically unwinds with less noise. It is a popular choice in dispatch terminals and cold stores where a dependable initial tack is required at lower temperatures. For medium to heavy cartons, PVC tape helps maintain closure integrity through the logistics chain.

Handling labels – instructions seen at a glance

Clear handling labels, also called warning labels reduce errors and claims. Pre‑printed messages such as “Fragile”, “Do not stack” or pictograms for “Flammable” make handling requirements obvious to every picker, driver and receiver. Use fragile labels on delicate items to prompt careful lifting and stacking. Add labels as soon as the carton is sealed so the guidance stays with the shipment from staging to delivery.

How to choose the right packaging tape

1. Assess the contents: Consider weight, fragility and moisture sensitivity. Heavy or delicate goods benefit from wider or thicker tape and extra reinforcement along edges.
2. Note the conditions: Long routes, temperature swings and humidity increase demands on the seal. Select tape and adhesive suited to those conditions.
3. Use labels to prevent damage: If the shipment needs special care, mark it clearly. This reduces rework and delays.

Ergonomics and speed in taping

Good tools make a difference. A robust hand tape dispenser speeds application and reduces wrist strain at the packing bench. On higher volumes, a case sealer applies tape consistently and improves throughput. Both solutions support safer, tidier seals and a repeatable process.

Together, packaging tapes and handling labels create a simple system that protects goods, guides handlers and keeps the packing line moving—saving time and avoiding avoidable damage.
