Cello Tape Bulk Price: Compare by Cost per Metre

Tape rolls come in different lengths, so roll prices can be misleading. A cheaper roll that's 40 metres shorter isn't cheaper at all.

Work out the cost per metre

1. Note the pack price and the number of rolls.
2. Multiply rolls by the length of each roll.
3. Divide the price by total metres.

Do that for each option in the list below and pick the lowest that has the adhesive strength you need.

Roll lengths we stock

• 65 m transparent and printed rolls, in packs of 6.
• 100 m transparent BOPP rolls.
• 120 m brown BOPP rolls.

Longer rolls also mean fewer roll changes on a busy packing day.

How much tape do you need a month?

A small box with an H-seal uses about 1 metre. A medium carton uses about 1.5 to 2 metres. Multiply by your monthly box orders and add 10 percent for waste. A seller sending 1,000 small boxes a month needs roughly 1,100 metres, which is about seventeen 65 m rolls or nine 120 m rolls.

• Use a dispenser. Hand-tearing wastes tape.
• Don't triple-layer. One firm strip per seam is enough.
• Use printed tape only on the outer seal.
• Claim GST back with a B2B invoice.
