Frequently Asked Questions
What is packing tape used for?
Packing tape, also known as packaging tape or parcel tape, is a pressure-sensitive tape commonly used for sealing cardboard boxes and packages during shipments. It is typically 2 to 3 inches wide and made with a polypropylene or polyester backing for durability.
How thick should packing tape be?
The thickness of packing tape is measured in thousandths of an inch, known as "mils." For lightweight packing needs, tapes with a thickness of 1.8 to 2.0 mils are ideal. For heavier packaging (20 lbs and above), a thickness ranging from 1.9 mils to 3.0 mils is recommended.
Is packing tape waterproof?
Packing tape, sometimes referred to as parcel tape, is not completely waterproof but is water-resistant. The polypropylene or polyester material makes it somewhat impermeable to water; however, the adhesive may loosen when exposed to moisture for extended periods.
