Fragile Tape: Handle With Care Tape for Delicate Parcels

By the MarkRTD packaging team · 3 August 2026

Fragile handle with care tape on a parcel

Short answer

Fragile tape is a printed packing tape with a “Fragile, Handle with Care” warning. It seals the box and tells courier staff to handle it gently. It doesn’t protect the product by itself, so always wrap fragile items in bubble wrap and fill gaps in the box. MarkRTD sells fragile tape in 2 inch rolls of 65 m and 80 m.

Breakage is one of the most common reasons for returns on glass, ceramic and electronic products. Fragile tape is a small part of the fix, and it works best with proper cushioning.

What fragile tape does

  • Seals the box like normal packing tape.
  • Shows a clear warning on every side it covers.
  • Helps when you claim damage, because the parcel was clearly marked.

What it doesn't do

It doesn't stop a box being dropped or crushed. Couriers sort thousands of parcels, often by machine. The protection has to come from inside the box.

Packing a fragile order

  1. Wrap the item in two or three layers of bubble wrap.
  2. Use a box with 2 to 3 cm of space on every side.
  3. Fill the space so nothing moves when you shake the box.
  4. Seal with fragile tape, wrapping it around the box so the warning shows on every face.
  5. Add a fragile sticker near the shipping label.
