Carton Sealing Tape

About Carton Sealing Tape

Carton sealing tape is used to securely close corrugated boxes and cartons for shipping, storage, or handling. It features strong adhesive backing for dependable hold and is available in acrylic, hot melt, and solvent-based types. Tape rolls come in various widths and thicknesses to suit light, medium, or heavy-duty applications. Compatible with handheld or automated dispensers, this tape ensures quick, clean application. Carton sealing tape prevents tampering, safeguards contents, and is an essential packaging solution for fulfillment centers, retail, warehouses, and e-commerce operations.

Choosing the proper carton sealing tape ensures that your packages stay secure from the warehouse to their final destination. Start by identifying your shipping needs-lightweight, medium, or heavy-duty. 

For standard packages, acrylic adhesive tapes are reliable for a wide range of temperatures and long shelf-life, while hot melt tapes deliver superior bond strength, ideal for heavy or overstuffed cartons. If you work with recycled or rough-surface boxes, consider using natural rubber adhesives for better grip. 

Match the tape’s thickness and width to your box size and weight; thicker tapes resist tearing and offer better protection during transit. Color-coded tapes can assist with inventory management and branding. Also, take into account your packing process: manual taping benefits from hand-tearable or easy-unwind tapes, while automated systems require machine-grade rolls. 

Environmental factors like cold storage or humid climates may require specialty tapes to maintain adhesion under extreme conditions.
