What Is Packing Paper Tape?
Packing paper tape offers a permanent adhesive solution when taping shipping boxes shut. It’s perfect for companies sending out large shipments in the mail. Some types of tape are water-activated and instantly bond to corrugated boxes. Tape is resistant to tears, which prevents tampering so you can have peace of mind when shipping packages in the mail. Rely on brown paper packing tape for all of your packing needs.
What Are the Qualities of Paper Packing Tape?
Paper packing tape has numerous advantages. This tape offers flexibility, which makes it easy to use on carton corners or irregularly shaped surfaces. Some box paper tape contains strong fiberglass yarns strategically bonded between sheets of paper.
It’s also environmentally friendly and the yarn can be removed during repulping to allow for easy recycling. Packing paper tape tears off easily, allowing you to pack boxes quickly and efficiently. It is also lightweight so it won’t increase your shipping costs. However, if you’re shipping a fragile item, protect your item with foam peanuts.
What Types of Packaging Paper Tape Are Available?
There is a variety of brown paper packing tape available to suit your needs. Purchase packs of 8, 10, 15, or 24 so you never run out of tape. Purchase an individual roll of paper tape for less frequent use. Users can purchase reinforced packaging paper tape made with fiberglass thread construction. This works well for boxes that are heavier in weight (60 lb.). Non-reinforced options are ideal for paper splicing. Purchase packing tape dispensers to quickly dispense tape.
Choose from paper packing tape in a variety of roll sizes:
- 2.8" x 125 yards
- 3" x 450'
- 2.75" x 5400"
- 3" x 375'
How Does Water-Activated Packaging Paper Tape Work?
Not all packing paper tape requires water application, but some options do. It’s best to use hot water when trying to adhere water-activated packaging paper tape to a box. You can use a sponge, paper towel, or washcloth to apply the water to the bottom of the tape. Users can then label packing paper tape and write on it but should wait until the water dries before doing so.
