Explore the World of Adhesive Tapes

Whether it is for domestic or commercial purpose packaging tape is something ‘must have’ item among our daily belongings. No, it’s not only that transparent small rolling item standing on your dispenser. If you explore the world of packaging tapes you will find them in varieties of types and designs that can secure a small gift item to a heavy carton. Let this post open your eyes to the wonderful world of packaging tapes through the collection of ePACKAGING shop’s online store for adhesive tapes.

Let’s start with the categorization of the tapes. Broadly saying you can categorize tapes in mainly three categories – • Office/Standard tape • Storage tape • Speciality tape


Office tape or standard tape is that one you belong to your household. Mostly comes in transparent color with a free dispenser and for use of simple purposes. Now when people are busy at work or at home, everyone must want to avoid that crunching sound. Hence, these tapes come with the noise-free feature. On this glossy tape, you can also write using a marker when you are sending a bundle of those official papers for some special purpose. They have the removable feature as well; hence you will have an option for repositioning of those papers as per need. But what if you need those bunches of papers for presentation purpose? Here comes special double-sided tape that can stick on both sides of papers and make your life easy!


Storage tape – the name itself defines its purpose. But there is a small categorization of such tape when you consider them from the usage point of view and features. There is a thin borderline between storage tape and shipping tape. The first one is used to secure items for long storage purpose, whereas the second one is mainly used for securing items during transportation. The basic differences among the two are in their adhesive property. Shipping tapes are used mainly for commercial purpose and they are heavy duty. You will get a special dispenser as well for these types of packaging tapes.


Now come to the most stylish types of multipurpose tapes that are Specialty tapes. Have you noticed those colorful tapes used during painting on your walls? Yes, we are talking about Masking tape. Available in multiple features and options they can be used for multiple purposes. Some more specialty tapes are like Filament tape, Machine tape, Printed message tape, Vinyl tape, E-tape, Construction tape, Cloth tape. Some of these tapes can be used for freezer storing purpose also like Vinyl tape. Another may come with an insulating property like Construction tape.


But all these tapes are for one time use. So obviously they will be dispensed once their purpose is over. Hence, environmental awareness is also closely attached when they are manufactured. Mostly these tapes are made of low micron level plastic and propylene. Moreover, at the ePACKAGING shop, you will get numerous options for each type of tapes that will easily match your budget. Furthermore, tapes and dispersers complement each other. Hence, we supply various types of dispensers that can fit with your tape purchasing. And always choose the value pack to save your money that is number of rolls in a single pack.
