Choose the Right Packing Tape for Every Task
Our range includes:
Brown kraft tape: Ideal for the house mover, offering strong yet traditional sealing for removal boxes.
Clear polypropylene tape: Excellent for gift wrapping (e.g. Christmas, birthdays) and general home use.
Contents Checked & Security sealed tape: Perfect when tracking or tamper detection is important.
All tapes are available singly, in handy 6-roll domestic packs, or in bulk boxes of 36—ideal for businesses, estate agents, storage firms, and removal companies.
Why Use a Tape Dispenser?
Cutting tape with teeth or scissors is inefficient, messy, and time-consuming—especially when sealing dozens of boxes. A **pistol-grip tape dispenser**, widely used by professional movers and warehouse operatives, allows smooth, single-handed dispensing and clean cuts, drastically speeding up packing time and reducing waste.
Pallet Banding & Strapping for Heavy-Duty Needs
When you’re dealing with heavy boxes, bulk shipping, or pallet storage, our **plastic banding and strapping reels** are essential. Available for both hand strapping and automatic machines, they provide secure, tight binding to stabilise large items during transit or warehousing.
Packing Tips for Best Results
Seal box edges and seams: Apply tape along the central seam and each side edge for extra strength.
Use dispensers: Choose a pistol-grip tape dispenser for consistent tape application and fast sealing.
Ensure a snug band: For pallet strapping, use ratchet tools or automatic machines to tension the band tightly.
Mark each box clearly: Use “Fragile” or “Contents Checked” tape if needed to guide handlers.
Frequently asked questions
Can packing tape be bought as a single roll?
Yes. The range includes single rolls for smaller jobs, packs of six and bulk boxes of 36 rolls. Available quantities may vary by tape type, so check the relevant product page.
What is the difference between brown and clear packing tape?
Brown tape blends with standard cardboard cartons and is commonly used for moving boxes. Clear tape provides a less visible seal and is useful for general packaging or gift wrapping.
What is contents checked tape used for?
Preprinted contents checked tape provides a visible indication that a box has been checked and sealed. It can support warehouse or moving procedures but does not replace a formal security process.
Can pallet strapping be applied by hand?
Some plastic strapping is designed for manual application using a compatible tensioner, sealer and clips. Other products are intended for machines, so confirm the specification before ordering.
Is a tape dispenser worth using?
A pistol grip dispenser makes it faster to apply and cut tape when sealing several boxes. It also helps maintain even tension and avoids the unsafe practice of cutting tape with teeth.
