Choose Duck tape for durable shipping protection

Use Duck HD Clear® tape for packing and shipping when you have labels or printed material that must go on the outside of packages. This Duck crystal-clear tape comes equipped with UV protection, so the address is readable even if the parcel is left outside on a hot day. Duck tape for packaging resists tearing even if the package gets bumped or jostled during the storage or shipping process. Duck produces heavy-duty tape that owes some of its strength to hot melt adhesive. Like many hot melt tapes, the adhesive on this tape fuses quickly with corrugated cardboard.

Different colors of Duck tape

Besides clear acrylic tape suitable for packaging and shipping, Duck tape comes in a wide range of colors. Opt for shades depending on use. For instance, arts and crafts projects pop when bold neon colored tape is part of the creation, while everyday repairs are hidden with neutral shades such as silver, chrome, or white. Other colors from this brand include:

• Black
• Green
• Orange
• Purple
• Red
• Yellow

Duck also offers tape in animal prints that are fun additions to kids’ playrooms and themed displays.

Select the right clear Duck tape width and length

Duck tape typically comes in 1.88-inch and 3-inch widths. Whether it’s for packing boxes for relocation, undertaking repairs regularly, or preparing packets for shipping, it’s important to consider the width of your tape. If you have smaller boxes that are going into archives, narrower tape provides an adequate hold. If shipping larger boxes, wider Duck clear packing tape provides added security during handling. Consider the items inside the package, the weight, and how well your shipping box closes when deciding on which packaging tape you prefer. For frequent use, the longer the tape the better. Duck offers rolls between 10 and 60 yards long.

Duck tape dispenser options 

Some types of Duck shipping tape come with a dispenser option, which provides a cutting edge for easy application. Typically holding tape that is 1.88 inches wide, these patented dispensers make it a simple matter to seal boxes and packages for archiving or shipping. Because warehouses and shipping facilities may use a large amount of tape every day, certain Duck dispensers come with packs of four or more rolls of tape.
