An overview of carton sealing and specialty tapes.

Types of Industrial Packaging Tape

Carton sealing tapes

  • BOPP tape — the most common carton sealing tape.
  • PVC tape — quieter unwind, often used for hand application.
  • Water-activated tape — paper tape activated by water that bonds into the carton surface.

Specialty tapes

  • Filament tape — reinforced for bundling and heavy cartons.
  • Double-sided tape — joining and mounting.
  • Floor-marking tape — aisle and zone marking.
  • Tamper-evident tape — shows if a pack has been opened.

Selection

Consider carton surface (recycled board can be harder to seal), carton weight, temperature and dispenser type.
