For the everyday sealing of boxes and shipping packaging, Van Loenhout Products supplies brown and transparent packing tape for business use and resale. Compare the options and find out which combination of size, unwinding noise, backing and adhesive type suits your packing operations.
The colour mainly determines how your packaging looks. To achieve a suitable seal, you also need to consider the properties of the tape and the box you are using it on.
Brown packing tape blends in with many brown cardboard boxes. A familiar choice for everyday shipping, storage and transport. Compare the available options by size, unwinding noise, backing and adhesive type.
Transparent packing tape leaves the surface underneath visible and suits brown, coloured and printed boxes alike. Here too, the combination of material, adhesive type and size determines which option suits your operations.
Do you regularly seal boxes, for example at a packing bench or across several adjacent workstations? If so, the noise made when unwinding the tape can be an important consideration.
Low noise packing tape is designed to unwind quietly. This makes it a useful option for workplaces where a lot of packing is done by hand.
Low noise describes how the tape unwinds. When choosing your tape, also consider its adhesion, size and suitability for your packaging. We can help you assess these properties together.
The right size makes packing easier and needs to suit your box, dispenser and daily usage.
The width determines how much of the area around the sealing seam you cover. The appropriate width depends on factors such as the box, the sealing method and the dispenser you use.
Are you looking for the same width as your current tape, or would you like to use a different size? Include this in your enquiry so we can help you find a suitable option.
The roll length tells you how many metres of tape are on each roll. When comparing rolls, it is therefore important to consider the length and other specifications as well as the price per roll.
A longer roll must also fit your dispenser. Comparing the width alone is not enough.
Do you pack using a hand dispenser or seal boxes with a machine? These methods require different rolls and involve different considerations. For machine packing, we have a separate page explaining machine rolls and how to match them to your carton sealing machine.
Tape thickness is usually expressed in microns, indicated by µm. One micron is one thousandth of a millimetre.
When comparing specifications, it is important to know what has been measured. A stated thickness may refer to the backing or to the total tape thickness, including the adhesive layer. These values cannot simply be compared directly.
Thickness alone does not determine whether a tape is suitable for your packaging. The backing material, adhesive type, box surface and the stresses placed on the packaging also play a part.
Do you have a specification for your current tape? Share it with us. This will help us find a comparable option or a suitable alternative.
Packing tape consists of a backing with an adhesive layer. This combination affects how the tape handles and adheres. Two rolls of the same colour and size can therefore have different properties.
The backing is the material to which the adhesive is applied. PP and PVC are among the materials used for plastic packing tape.
When comparing tapes, consider the complete specification. The designation PP or PVC alone does not tell you how the tape unwinds or how suitable it is for your packing operations.
Packing tapes are available with various adhesive systems, including acrylic, hot melt and natural rubber. The right option depends on the surface and the conditions in which you apply and use the tape.
Tell us, for example, whether you work with recycled cardboard, printed boxes or a cold packing area. This allows us to assess the product properties against your specific application.
