Brown Parcel Tape

£1.25

Low noise brown parcel tape, 48mm wide by 66 metres. It's made to grip the cardboard rather than curl back onto itself, so whether you're sealing boxes for moving day or taping them shut before they go into storage, the bottom seam stays closed. Works with any standard tape gun dispenser, or by hand if you don't have one.

Description

Tape That Grips the Box, Not Just Itself

Cheap tape has a habit of curling straight back onto itself the moment you pull a strip off the roll. It tangles, it never quite takes to the cardboard, and it lifts away at the one place a box needs it most, the bottom seam.

This is low noise brown parcel tape, 48mm x 66m. It sticks to the box and stays there.

Low noise means what it sounds like. Pull it off the roll and you get a quiet, even tear rather than the screech standard packing tape gives you when you’re working through a stack of boxes.

How to Tape a Box So the Bottom Doesn’t Fall Out

It’s worth taping a box properly rather than running one strip across the middle. Tape along the centre seam first, then add a strip across each side seam, so you end up with an H shape across the base. If the box is carrying anything heavy, do the same on top once it’s packed. It takes a few extra seconds, and it’s the difference between a box that holds and one that splits halfway up the stairs.

FAQ

Will this tape actually stick to cardboard?

Yes. A lot of cheap parcel tape sticks to itself better than it sticks to a box, which is the wrong way round. This one grips the cardboard.

How many rolls will I need?

It depends on how many boxes you’re sealing and how thoroughly you tape each one. If you’re ordering boxes at the same time, add a couple of extra rolls rather than running short halfway through packing.

Does it work with a tape gun, or do I need to tear it by hand?

Both. It’s sized to fit a standard tape gun dispenser, and it tears cleanly enough to use straight off the roll by hand.
