Packing Tape FAQs
Here are the most common things people ask about our packing tapes!
Do your tapes come with a dispenser?
No. The tape is sold on its own, but you can use it with any standard water-activated tape dispenser.
Is it recyclable?
Yes! It’s made from paper and starch-based adhesive, so it’s fully curbside recyclable. You can recycle it right along with your boxes.
Is it strong enough for heavy boxes?
Absolutely. It can hold packages up to 10 lbs with a tight, tamper-proof seal that won’t lift or peel during shipping.
Will it hold up in humid or hot weather?
Yes, it does! Just make sure your box surface is clean and dry before applying, and it’ll hold strong even in less-than-perfect conditions.
Can I use it on mailers or poly bags?
It’s best for cardboard and paper packaging—anything porous that the adhesive can bond with.
How long does one roll last?
Each roll is 50 meters long (around 164 feet), which is plenty for dozens of boxes—it’ll last longer than you think.
