Not all tape is created equal. The wrong tape can lead to failed seals, package damage, and customer complaints. Use this guide to match tape to your application.
| Tape Type | Best For | Conditions | Bonding |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hot Melt (Standard) | General shipping, e-commerce | Moderate temperatures | Immediate |
| Hot Melt (Heavy-Duty) | Heavy boxes, double wall sealing | Moderate temperatures | Immediate |
| Acrylic (Standard) | Long-term storage, varying temps | Wider temperature range | Builds over time |
| Acrylic (UV-Resistant) | Storage near windows | Wider temperature range | Builds over time |
| Water-Activated (Gummed) | Tamper-evident seals | Apply indoors | On activation |
| Filament (Reinforced) | Strapping, bundling, heavy loads | Moderate temperatures | Immediate |
If packages will sit in cold conditions during transit or storage, consider acrylic tape. Hot melt adhesive can become brittle and fail in the cold.
Used boxes with residual dust or rough surfaces bond better with hot melt tape, which has an aggressive initial tack that grabs uneven surfaces immediately.
For valuable packages, consider water-activated tape (WAT). It bonds into the corrugated surface, so attempts to peel it off leave visible damage.
