What is Carton Sealing Tape?
Businesses turn to carton sealing tape to fully pack and seal corrugated boxes before they’re shipped or stored. The strength offered helps uphold the box’s shape, thus better protecting the internal contents than the folded cardboard alone.
Although multiple materials and grades exist, carton sealing tape generally consists of a few basic characteristics: a liner with a clear or translucent consistency and a layer of adhesive. Within this arrangement, you have a choice of:
- Multiple lengths. Find 55- or 110-yard rolls to solutions able to accommodate industrial machines.
- Multiple thicknesses, from economy solutions under 1.5 mil to thicker materials over 3 mil for demanding, heavy-duty applications.
- A choice of widths, with carton sealing tape available in rolls up to two to three inches wide.
- A choice of layer materials, including PVC, polypropylene and kraft.
- Multiple adhesive strengths and materials, including natural rubber, hot melt or acrylic. Of these, hot melt tape tends to bond better to paperboard, while acrylic creates a longer-lasting seal.
- Various transparencies, from fully clear to tan and completely opaque.
- Applications. Find carton sealing tape for manual usage, and solutions that can be fed into a machine.
