1. Packing Tape: The Essential Packaging Tool

• Benefits: Durable, water-resistant, and strong adhesion make it perfect for everyday use in any business environment.

2. Custom Tape with Your Own Logo: Brand Your Shipments

Custom tape allows you to print your company logo, website, or slogan directly on the tape, turning your packages into marketing tools while securing your goods.

• Uses: Perfect for businesses looking to brand their packages while ensuring they are sealed securely.

3. Gaffer Tape: Heavy-Duty and Versatile

Gaffer tape is a heavy-duty tape known for its strength and durability. It is commonly used in industries like film, theater, and event planning but is also an excellent choice for packaging and securing materials.

• Uses: Often used to secure cables, props, and heavy-duty packaging. Also useful for temporary fixes in various industries.
• Features: Strong adhesive, matte finish (non-reflective), and easy to tear by hand. It can withstand tough conditions and is often used in high-stress environments.
• Benefits: Provides superior strength and adhesion for tough jobs, and its non-reflective surface makes it ideal for professional settings.

4. ATG Tape: Precision and Efficiency

ATG (Adhesive Transfer) tape is a precision tape commonly used for light packaging and mounting tasks, offering clean and accurate application without mess.

• Uses: Great for precise mounting of lightweight materials like paper, photos, and thin items. Also used for crafts and delicate packaging applications.
• Features: Applied using an ATG dispenser, which ensures precision and efficiency. Provides a strong, clean bond without excess adhesive.

5. Water Activated Tape: Secure, Eco-Friendly, and Tamper-Evident

Water-activated tape, also known as gummed tape, is a unique solution that uses water to activate the adhesive, creating a strong, tamper-evident seal for your packages.

• Uses: Perfect for sealing large boxes or cartons. It's also commonly used for shipping items that require additional security.
• Features: Activated with water, creating a permanent bond. It’s eco-friendly and provides a tamper-evident seal, giving customers confidence that their packages have not been opened.

Tamper-evident tape is designed to show visible signs of tampering, ensuring that your customers can instantly know if their package has been compromised during transit.

• Uses: Ideal for high-value or sensitive products, such as electronics, pharmaceuticals, and important documents. Used to ensure product integrity during shipping.
