Polypropylene Tape

Why Choose Polypropylene Tape? Polypropylene tape is one of the most widely used packaging adhesives, trusted by e-commerce businesses and warehouses for its reliability and price point. Sometimes referred to simply as packing tape, it’s the go-to choice for sealing cardboard boxes quickly and securely — without adding extra cost to each parcel.

Strong, Durable, and Easy to Use

The key advantage of polypropylene tape is its strength. Despite being lightweight and easy to apply, it holds firm under pressure and resists tearing, even on heavy or overfilled boxes. It’s ideal for busy pack benches where consistency and speed matter.

Water-Resistant and Reliable

It's also water-resistant, retaining adhesion in humid or damp conditions — making it well-suited for transit and storage environments where moisture could be a factor.

Flexible Across Your Operation

Polypropylene tape is easy to use with both hand-held dispensers and automated taping machines. It’s available in clear or brown and in a range of widths to suit different carton sizes and sealing preferences.

A Cost-Effective Choice for E-commerce

For businesses shipping high volumes or operating on tight margins, polypropylene tape offers a no-nonsense, cost-effective solution that gets the job done.
