Carton Sealing Tape is a pressure-sensitive tape used in the packaging process of foreign trade to seal corrugated cartons. It typically uses BOPP film as the backing material, coated with water-based or hot-melt adhesive. Usage scenarios include: sealing cartons before shipment, re-sealing in the warehouse, and sealing e-commerce packages. Precautions: Select appropriate thickness (commonly 40-50 microns) and initial tack based on carton weight and transportation environment (e.g., cold chain, high temperature); avoid using inferior tape that may cause carton burst during transport; for sea freight, it is recommended to use tape resistant to low temperature and aging. Difference from 'Strapping': Strapping is used for bundling and reinforcement, while carton sealing tape is only for sealing the carton opening; difference from 'Masking Tape': the latter is used for masking or marking, not suitable for sealing heavy objects. In foreign trade contracts, tape specifications (e.g., width 48mm, length 100y), color (transparent, beige), and printing requirements (e.g., logo printing) should be clearly stated to prevent disputes.
📝 Examples
1. Please prepare 1000 rolls of carton sealing tape for this shipment, specification 48mm×100y, transparent color, and print our company LOGO on the tape. (Note: Clarify tape specifications and printing requirements in the purchase order)
2. Due to high humidity at the destination, it is recommended to switch to hot-melt carton sealing tape to avoid the water-based tape losing adhesion due to moisture and causing carton cracking. (Note: Propose tape selection suggestions to the customer based on the transportation environment)
