What goes wrong
Tape is sold by the roll. A carton of rolls is the bench quantity, not a guess at metres.
Wholesale Packaging lists Brown packing tape for this line. Count seams, not cartons. A lid and a base seam use more tape than one strip.
The check before you reorder
The tape range lists brown and buff packing tapes apart from clear tape, vinyl tape and gummed paper tape.
Keep the live roll at the bench and the spare cartons of rolls above it, not in the box store.
Dispatch on that order
TradePro at Wholesale Packaging, for trade businesses, starts at 5% off and goes up to 10% when you spend over £1,000 a month, and it adds BACS. It does not change which Brown packing tape you needed.
