Why Should You Buy Packaging Tape?

Whether you're packing for a big move or shipping a package, packaging tape is a useful tool to have in your office or home. Many packing tapes include dispensers, so you can easily tear off the length you need quickly for an easier packing experience.

The main function of packaging tape, sometimes called moving tape, is to ensure that moving boxes don’t open when you don’t want them to. Parcel tape can keep heavy packages safe and secure until it reaches its final destination. If necessary, scissors make it easy to cut the tape to open sealed boxes.

What Kind of Package Tape Is Available?

With Quill’s selection, you can choose from clear packing tape options, as well as white, tan, multicolor and more. Clear tape allows you to see through to box folds so you can secure your boxes easily. Brown tape isn't transparent, but it can make for a cleaner-looking package when used on brown cardboard boxes.

Movers tape, with reliable and durable dispensers, makes it easy to complete taping jobs swiftly and efficiently. Parcel tape also comes in single-pack and bulk quantities to accommodate your shipping needs. Along with shipping tape, other packing products can come in handy when moving, storing or stealing boxes. Business envelopes, mailers, and poly bags all pair well with shipping tape for tight, secure seals.

What Type of Packing Tape Do I Need?

For storage, make sure to choose a box tape with strong acrylic adhesive that holds up well in high and low temperatures. This particular feature makes it especially helpful if you need to store your items for a long time.

Shipping tape incorporates a hot melt adhesive that makes it more durable and is particularly great for cardboard packages. For those who frequently need to use packing tape, consider getting a packing tape dispenser to make your taping process easier as well as reduce waste. Glue sticks can also work pretty well at keeping items securely fastened to the intended surfaces, whether used for art projects or home improvement tasks.
