Scotch Box Lock Packing Tape 3in Core (Pack of 3) 3950-LR3-DC

It's time to stick together...literally! Whether you're moving, crafting, or shipping parcels, having the right type of sticky tape on hand is essential. In this buying guide, we're going to explore two popular types of sticky tape: Packaging Tape and Pre-Printed Tape. So, let's dive right in and get you tape-savvy!

Packaging tape is a household hero. It's versatile, strong, and ideal for a wide range of tasks. Here's what you need to know:

Polypropylene: Commonly used for general-purpose packaging. It's durable, resistant to moisture, and works well for sealing boxes.
PVC (Vinyl) Tape: Known for its strength and flexibility. It's great for heavy-duty packaging and sealing irregularly shaped items.

Packaging tape typically comes in various widths (ranging from 9mm – 50mm) and lengths (ranging from 20m – 200m). Choose the size that suits your needs, but remember that longer rolls can save you from frequent replacements.

Some packaging tapes come with built-in dispensers, making application a breeze. Hand-held dispensers are also available, which makes taping up boxes much easier if you do this frequently.

Packaging tape typically comes in clear or brown options, but you can also find coloured options available.

Pre-printed tape is all about adding a message or branding to your packages. It's not just practical; it's a great way to make your shipments stand out. You can choose from a variety of pre-printed messages like "Fragile," or "Handle with Care." They’re typically made from polypropylene or PVC with adhesive options similar to packaging tape.

Branding Opportunity

If you're a business owner, pre-printed tape with your company name can be a cost-effective way to promote your brand and create a memorable unboxing experience for your customers. Please contact our team directly if you are needing this type of tape.

Now, armed with this tape knowledge, you're ready to tackle any project that comes your way. Happy taping!
