The job it is listed for
A mixed dispatch desk starts from the goods. Brown packing tape closes a brown carton when the seal should match the board. Wholesale Packaging keeps Brown packing tape as its own range so it is not picked as clear packing tape.
The tape range lists brown and buff packing tapes apart from clear tape, vinyl tape and gummed paper tape.
The line that is not a substitute
Clear tape does the same close, and it shows as a stripe. Use it when the stripe does not matter.
Match the width to the seam. A narrow roll on a heavy lid needs a second pass.
Bringing it in
Tape runs out before the cartons do, because every carton takes a seam.
On Wholesale Packaging, orders that include Brown packing tape and are placed by 3pm are dispatched the same day. UK delivery is free on orders over £50 ex VAT. Stocked items can be returned within 14 days.
Open Brown packing tape when you already know this line. Tape is sold by the roll. A carton of rolls is the bench quantity, not a guess at metres. Wholesale Packaging will still dispatch an order placed by 3pm on the same day.
