Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Fragile print mean?

The tape is printed with a Fragile message so the box clearly signals it needs careful handling during transport. The same tape is also available with other messages, including Urgent, Handle with care and Top load only, depending on what the parcel needs to say.

Is this tape strong enough for heavy parcels?

It is an economy grade tape for medium duty carton and parcel sealing. For heavy or heavy duty parcels, reinforce the seams with a filament tape, which carries glass fibre strands for much higher tensile strength, or use a heavier packaging tape rated for the load.

Can I write on this tape?

The OPP film is a smooth, glossy surface, and most permanent markers write on it once it is applied to the carton. If you need to mark handling notes or destinations, apply the tape first and write on the film, or use a marker before you stick it down.

How should I store the tape between jobs?

Keep the roll in a cool, dry place away from direct heat and sunlight. Heat can soften the adhesive and make the tape stretch or leave residue, while dust and dirt on the roll can reduce the grip. Storing the roll on its side or on a dispenser keeps the edge clean and easy to start.
