Packaging Tape Pricing and Costs

Compare prices and features of various packaging tapes for your shipping needs

Adhesive packaging tape is a must-have for any business that ships packages. Whether you ship directly to the customer or send products from the manufacturer to the store, you need a tape that will be certain to keep the contents of the package secure during transit. Examine the different types of packaging tape for features you need, like durability and the capacity to withstand extreme temperatures.

You should consider packaging tape pricing and costs as you determine which type to use for your shipping needs. Packaging tape is fairly inexpensive, and you can save more if you purchase it in bulk as your budget allows. The following types of packaging tape are available:

1. Basic clear packaging tape, made of acrylic, is perfect for smaller shipments.

2. Some Teflon packaging tapes have fiberglass elements for added strength.

3. Among the products offered by packaging tape manufacturers are those that hold up in extreme temperatures.

4. Custom packing tape will help recipients to immediately recognize where the package came from.

Accomplish general box sealing needs with acrylic packaging tape

Acrylic tape is great for general purposes, like with light weight packages that have limited exposure to damaging shipment situations.

Obtain maximum durability with PTFE Teflon packing tape

Tape made with polytetrafluoroethylene (also known as PTFE or Teflon) has a hot heat tolerance and release characteristics that make it easier to open packages. Some of these tapes also have fiberglass in them, which provides extra strength and stability.

Protect your shipments from extreme temperatures with hot melt packaging tapes

Cold temperature tapes can withstand temperatures from negative 20 degrees up to 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Hot melt tape stands up to extremely hot shipping environments, up to 200 degrees Fahrenheit without melting.

Promote your business with custom packaging tape

Manufacturers typically use paper tape, tape with paper on the non-adhesive side, for custom printed packaging tape. You can also purchase blank paper tape or stock printed packing tape displaying words like "fragile."
