Frequently Asked Questions

What is packaging tape used for?

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.

What tape is best for packaging?

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.

What is the strongest packaging tape for heavy cartons and industrial freight?

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.

What are the most commonly used tapes & adhesives in packaging?

Our most popular tapes & adhesives include packaging tape for boxes, machine tapes, filament tapes, and surface protection films. These options offer strong bonding, durability, and versatility for sealing, wrapping, and protecting goods across various industries.

Which packaging tape for boxes is best for cold storage or heavy-duty applications?

For cool room environments or heavy items, we recommend our reinforced packaging tape for boxes made with acrylic adhesive and fibreglass strands. This type of tape provides long-lasting hold even in low temperatures and is ideal for industrial use.

Do you offer bulk packing tape for high-volume packaging operations?

Yes, we supply a full range of bulk packing tape options designed for both hand and machine applications. Whether you need transparent, brown, or custom-printed tape, our bulk packing tape solutions ensure you never run out during peak demand periods.

How do I choose the right tape adhesives for my packaging needs?

The right tape adhesives depend on your specific application—surface type, temperature conditions, and required hold strength. We offer tape adhesives ranging from general-purpose to high-tack for secure sealing of cartons, shrink wrap, and protective film.

Can I get custom-branded tapes & adhesives in bulk?

Absolutely! We offer custom-printed tapes & adhesives in large volumes to support your branding and operational needs. Ideal for businesses wanting to stand out while benefiting from our wholesale pricing.

What's the difference between regular and premium packaging tape for boxes?

Standard packaging tape for boxes is perfect for everyday use, while premium options offer stronger adhesion, UV resistance, and smoother unwind for faster application. Both are available in our bulk packing tape range for added convenience.

Are your tape adhesives suitable for both industrial and household use?

Yes. Our tape adhesives are versatile and used in everything from home repairs to industrial palletising. Whether it’s bag sealing, bundling, or protecting surfaces, our solutions meet all your packaging requirements.

What types of packaging tape are available for industrial operations in Australia?

Gateway Packaging supplies an extensive range of packaging tapes for industrial operations in Australia, including heavy-duty packaging tape, acrylic carton sealing tape, filament tape, strapping tape, cloth tape, duct tape, double-sided tape, machine tape, and water-activated kraft tape. Eco-friendly options including sustainable packaging tape and sustainable warning tape are also available. Contact us for volume pricing on bulk tape orders for your warehouse or production facility.

What is machine tape and how does it differ from hand-applied packaging tape?

Machine tape is supplied on large-core rolls specifically designed for use in automatic and semi-automatic carton sealing machines, where consistent unwind tension and adhesive performance are required at high throughput speeds. Hand-applied tape is produced on smaller cores for handheld dispensers and is formulated for manual application at lower speeds. Using the correct tape type for your carton sealer reduces tape breaks and improves seal consistency.
