Selecting the best box sealing tape depends on your corrugate, handling conditions, and budget. We supply multiple adhesive technologies and grades so you get consistent closures and fewer re-tapes.
Both adhesive systems are widely used for carton sealing. Differences typically involve adhesive chemistry, tack/holding power, and temperature/UV tolerance. Specific guidance (e.g., recommended use cases by environment and corrugate type). Share your application and we’ll match a grade that fits.
We carry common widths, lengths, and thicknesses across hand and machine‑grade options. Customers purchase by the case or by the skid. We will work with your production needs to keep you stocked.
There is a wide variety of methods to properly apply tape. Tape can be applied manually or mechanically. For best results, apply tape to clean, dry carton surfaces with firm, even pressure.

Common questions about our custom packaging services.
It depends on your application. Acrylic adhesives offer long-term durability and clarity, hot melt adhesives are great for speed and high-volume environments, and natural rubber adhesives provide superior hold on recycled or rough corrugated boxes.
Not always. For cold storage or freezer applications, we recommend specialized cold temperature adhesive tapes. These are designed to maintain their seal strength in low or fluctuating temperatures.
Hot melt adhesives bond quickly and are ideal for fast-paced operations. Acrylic adhesives resist UV and aging, making them great for long-term storage. Rubber adhesives deliver the strongest initial tack and are best for challenging surfaces.
