48mm Packaging Tapes
Trade Volume RatesIndustry-standard tape bites instantly into cardboard, paper, and plastic to ensure cartons stay firmly sealed during rough transit. Formulated for smooth, consistent release, it speeds up your packing line while offering exceptional shear strength to prevent boxes from bursting open under pressure. Bonds permanently to all cardboard surfaces on the first pass, eliminating the need for wasteful double-taping. Tough backing material withstands the friction, drops, and handling stress of global courier networks without snapping. Unwinds evenly and quietly from standard tape dispensers to keep your busy packing stations fast and efficient. Formulated to resist moisture, UV rays, and extreme temperature shifts, keeping your shipments sealed in deep freeze or high heat.

About 48mm Packaging Tapes
48mm packing tape, also called parcel tape or box tape, is the standard width for sealing cartons up to medium weight and fits all common hand tape dispensers. It is sold in full trade boxes of 36 rolls.
- Roll size: 48mm × 66m (1.9 in × 217 ft)
- Low-noise tape, brown or clear: 28 micron polypropylene with water-based acrylic adhesive; unwinds quietly
- Heavy-duty solvent tape, brown or clear: 32 micron with natural rubber adhesive; grabs faster on recycled, dusty or cold cardboard
- Recycles with the carton
Brown tape blends in with brown boxes. Clear tape suits white or printed cartons where labels and branding should stay visible. For heavy boxes and pallet shipments, 75mm tape gives a wider seal. To mark parcels, use printed warning tape; for plastic-free packing, see paper tape.
