- Determine the purpose of the packaging tape: Is the tape being used for sealing boxes, reinforcing packaging, or another application? Different types of packaging tape are designed for specific purposes, so it’s important to choose the right one for the job. Our Account Managers can suggest a suitable tape for your application.
- Consider the weight and size of the items being packaged: If you are packaging heavy items or large boxes, you will need a stronger and thicker tape. On the other hand, a thin and lightweight tape may be sufficient for small and lightweight items.
- Think about the storage and shipping conditions: If the packaged items will be shipped or stored in extreme temperatures or conditions, it’s important to choose a tape that is resistant to temperature changes and moisture.
- Consider the type of material you will be taping: Different types of packaging tape are designed to adhere to different materials, such as cardboard, plastic, or metal. Even the grade of cardboard used for your shipping boxes can make a big difference to the type of tape you will need to use. Make sure to choose a tape that is compatible with the material you will be taping.
- Look for a tape with a suitable adhesive: A good packaging tape should have a suitable adhesive that will hold up under the weight of the packaged items and maintain its grip during shipping or storage. Generally speaking, when purchasing cartons with a fully recycled board grade, then ourNatural Rubber Packaging Tape will be the better choice. It is always a good idea to buy a smaller amount initially to trial it in your specific conditions first.
- Consider the price: Packaging tape comes in a range of prices, so consider your budget when making your selection. It’s important to find a balance between cost and quality, as a cheaper tape may not have the strength and durability you need. Natural Rubber adhesive is the higher priced option, with Acrylic being the most cost effective.
