Frequently Asked Questions
Packaging tape is used to seal, secure, and protect packages, boxes, and shipments. It helps hold items together, prevent tampering, and keep contents safe during storage and transportation.
Different types of packaging tape serve various purposes—some are strong for heavy-duty sealing, while others are designed to resist moisture, heat, or rough handling. It’s commonly used in warehouses, shipping, moving, and retail packaging to ensure everything stays securely closed and protected.
Choosing the Best Packaging Tape
The right tape depends on package type, weight, and shipping conditions. Here are the top options:
Acrylic Tape – Best for general use, resists UV & temperature changes, ideal for long-term storage
Hot Melt Tape – Strong adhesive for heavy boxes & warehouse shipping
Water-Activated Tape – Tamper-proof, strong bond with cardboard, perfect for e-commerce & high-security needs
PVC Tape – Durable & tear-resistant, ideal for industrial & heavy-duty applications
Filament Tape – Reinforced strength for securing heavy loads & bundling
For general packaging, choose acrylic or hot melt tape. For security & heavy loads, go with water-activated or filament tape.
Hot-melt packaging tape provides the strongest adhesion for heavy cartons and industrial freight, bonding to recycled board, rough surfaces, and in cold or humid environments. For extreme loads, reinforced filament tape or strapping tape offers additional tensile strength. Gateway Packaging stocks both options in bulk rolls for industrial use.
