There are a few different types of carton sealing tapes. I have listed below different types of carton sealing tape and a brief description of each.

Bear in mind that these tapes are classified according to the type of adhesive used. To know which packaging tape is right for you, here are some of the popular options available.

•    Rubber adhesives – Of all the adhesive-backed tapes, those carrying natural rubber adhesives are considered as the most efficient. They have pugnacious adhesion properties, thus, ensuring superb bonding performance. Since they can quickly penetrate most type of shipping boxes, this means that packing efficiency will be significantly increased.

•    Acrylic tapes – This type of packaging tape features efficient UV and temperature resistance. They also offer superior bonding strength and they are perfect for almost all types packaging. Furthermore, they are also capable of providing superb bonding performance even during extended shipping periods. Aside from that, they offer a quick-stick capability as well as increased shear strength.

•    Hot melt adhesives – Among the different types of packaging adhesives available, the hot melt variety is perhaps the most versatile. They can provide unyielding bonding strength in all sorts of applications. In addition, their extreme malleability, magnificent holding force, and outstanding adhesion properties will ascertain that packed boxes will carry reliable seals.

•    Clear packing tapes – They are the most common and conventional form of packing tape. These tapes are available in most office supply stores, and one of the practical packing options.

Regardless of the type of shipping tape you plan to purchase, you have to become familiar with the characteristics of each of these packing tapes to know which one will perfectly match your packaging needs!
