Carton Sealing Tapes

Acrylic or hot-melt BOPP tape (2.0-2.6 mil) is best for general and heavy-duty carton sealing due to strong adhesion and durability. For eco-conscious shipping, water-activated paper tape offers a permanent, tamper-evident bond. Choose thickness and adhesive type based on box weight, storage conditions, and shipping distance.

Standard carton sealing tape (2.0 mil, acrylic BOPP) suits everyday e-commerce and retail boxes, while heavy-duty tape (2.6 mil, hot-melt BOPP) offers thicker construction and stronger adhesion for heavier cartons in warehousing and distribution environments where boxes face rougher handling or longer transit.

Water-activated paper tape bonds permanently into the corrugated fibers of a box, creating a fiber-tear seal that plastic tape cannot replicate. This makes it more tamper-evident and resistant to being peeled off, though plastic BOPP tape offers greater flexibility and moisture resistance for varied conditions.

Lighter boxes under typical e-commerce weights work well with 2.0 mil standard tape, while heavier or industrial cartons benefit from 2.6 mil heavy-duty tape for added tensile strength. Consider box weight, stacking height, and shipping distance when selecting thickness to prevent seal failure in transit.

Security tape is engineered with a poly film and VOID print adhesive that leaves a visible 'VOID' residue on the box if the tape is peeled or lifted. It cannot be reapplied once removed, providing clear evidence of tampering for high-value or regulated shipments.

Yes, custom printed BOPP tape can be manufactured with your company logo or branding, turning standard shipments into a branded unboxing experience. Pre-printed options like 'THIS END UP' and 'FRAGILE' are also available in stock for immediate handling instruction needs, with custom orders taking 2-3 weeks.
