Industrial Packaging Tape

Industrial tape is used to seal, bundle, and secure boxes, cartons, and packages for shipping and storage. It's commonly applied in manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution settings to close cases, reinforce packaging, and secure loads, ensuring products remain protected and intact throughout handling and transit.

Common types include pressure-sensitive tape, filament (strapping) tape, water-activated tape, and duct tape. Each is suited to different applications—pressure-sensitive tape for standard box sealing, filament tape for heavy bundling, and water-activated tape for tamper-resistant, high-strength sealing on cartons and pallets.

Packaging tape and packing tape are generally the same product, with the terms used interchangeably to describe pressure-sensitive adhesive tape used for sealing boxes and cartons. Both serve the same purpose of securing packages for shipment, storage, or bundling in industrial and commercial settings.

Consider the weight of your packages, shipping distance, storage conditions, and box material. Heavier loads require thicker, high-tack tape, while lighter shipments may only need standard-grade tape. Our team can help match the right tape to your specific packaging and shipping requirements.

For heavy-duty packaging, a tape thickness of 2.5 to 3.5 mils with strong adhesive is generally recommended. Thicker tapes provide better resistance to tearing and puncturing, making them suitable for securing heavier cartons, bundling loads, or reinforcing boxes during long-distance shipping.

Yes, certain packaging tapes are formulated with adhesives designed to maintain their bond in cold or refrigerated conditions. These specialty tapes prevent seal failure caused by temperature fluctuations, making them ideal for food and beverage shipments that pass through cold chain logistics.
