Brown Tape Price: Brown Packing Tape for Cartons

Brown tape is the classic carton tape. On a brown corrugated box it looks clean, hides dust, and makes the parcel look professionally packed.

Brown vs transparent tape

	Brown tape	Transparent tape
Looks on brown boxes	Blends in, neat	Shows dust and folds
Writing on it	Hard to read	You can write under it
Hides contents labels	Yes	No
Strength	Same (BOPP)	Same (BOPP)

Strength depends on the film and adhesive, not the colour. Both hold well if they're good BOPP.

Roll size and coverage

Our brown tape roll is 2 inch × 120 metres. With about a metre per small box, one roll seals roughly 100 to 120 small boxes. That's nearly double a 65 m roll, so you change rolls less often.

Sealing a carton with brown tape

1. Close the flaps flat.
2. Run tape along the centre seam with 5 to 7 cm overlapping onto each side.
3. Seal the edge seams for heavy boxes (H-seal).
4. Press firmly so the tape bonds to the fibre.

Where it fits in your kit
